Agenda Item No. 1 - Consideration of Bids, and Award of Contract
for Asphalt Work on Southwest Parkway.
Mayor Halter explained the reasons for calling this Special
Meeting to award the bids for this project.
Director of Capital Improvements Ash presented the item. He
referred to the memorandum of September 7, 1984 in the packets,
recommending that the project be awarded to Young Brothers Inc.
for their bid of $306,155.00 to be completed in forty-five
calendar days from the date of notification to begin work.
Councilman Runnels noted that there was quite a difference
between the number of working days quoted by the two bidders. He
questioned whether when considering the cost incurred because of
the extra working days, does not the difference in price just
about balance out.
Director of Capital Improvements Ash pointed out that one of the
figures was "working days" and the other was "calendar days." He
noted that there are approximately sixteen to twenty working days
per month. He stated his opinion that the difference in the cost
of approximately $53,000.00 is worth the difference in calendar
days. He further stated that Young Brothers Inc. has two asphalt
crews standing idle ready to go to work.
Councilman Boughton moved to award the bid to Young Brothers
Inc. in the amount of $306,155.00.
Councilman Anderson seconded the motion which was approved
unanimously, 6-0.
