<br /> 86-22 Letter from the City Manager recommending the adoption of an ordinance to
<br />appropriate $34,675 for purchase of a tent and award of contract.
<br />
<br /> "The original tent on the Olde Harbour Market was destroyed by Hurrican Gloria this
<br />past year. Several options were evaluated for its replacement, including a solid roof struc-
<br />ture, lease of a tent, or direct purchase of a replacement. The most economical approach,
<br />considering the relatively limited time we expect to maintain the marketplace is the direct
<br />purchase of a tent. On January 13, 1986, bids were received for the ma~n tent and two 20 x 40
<br />tents for the front patios as follows:
<br />
<br />CONTRACTOR TENTS
<br />
<br />PERCENTAGE
<br />
<br />(1) Bos Brothers Tent Removal (Norfolk) $29,675 85~
<br />(2) Hogshire Industries (N~rfolk) 38,400 110%
<br />
<br />City Estimate ~35,000 100~
<br />
<br /> The total cost (including the cost of tent lighting to be installed by General Services
<br />and miscellaneous costs associated with installation' is $34,675. Good references on previous
<br />work performed by the low bidder has been received. In order to have the tent in place by
<br />March 1S, 1986, it is imperative that appropriation of funds and award of a contract be given
<br />on one Council reading.
<br />
<br /> The Director
<br />and appropriation
