REPORT OF TABULATION OF BIDS: (Sanitary Sewer System Additions) The Mayor recognized Holly Cornell in the audience and requested that he report on the bids submitted earlier in the day. Mr. Cornell advised that L.N. Johnson was the low bid for Schedule S (Sewer Portion) and that T.S. Lord Company was the low bid for Schedule P (Pump), however, they had made the stipulation that they would not take the pump station without also receiving the sewer portion of the job. This then ruled out T.S. Lord as the low bidder in this instance. ! Teeples & Thatcher would then be the low bidder, although they had reserved the right to accept only both portions of this project. We have been advised by telegram that they will accept the pump portion alone. r� Mr. Cornell advised that all bids were checked for accuracy. There were no errors in any of the bids --including the two low bids. He stated that the City must have the approval of the U.S. Public Health Service. Forms have been -prepared and can be submitted to them. immediately. It will take about two weeks to get this approval. Mr. Cornell recommended to the Mayor and Council that the contract for Schedule S be awarded to the low bidder, the L.N. Johnson Company in the i amount of $260,504.14 (Attached to Lester Johnson's bid at the bid opening was a letter amending the original bid to deduct $10,158.25. This.showed a corrected total of $260,910.47).( The difference between that figure and the one reported at this meeting was that sales tax was not taken into consideration on the deduction), After discussion, motion made by Griggs, seconded by Bailey that the low bid of Lester N. Johnson in the amount of $260, 504,14 for Schedule S of the Sanitary Sewer Additions Project be accepted, Motion carried by roll call vote of six(6). (Mr. Greenlee has not yet arrived). �E Motion made by Bailey, seconded by Robinson that the low bid of Teeples 6 Thatcher for Schedule P f of the Sanitary Sewer Additions Project be accepted and that the contract be awarded to that firm subject to the approval of the U.S. Public Health Service. Motion carried by roll call vote of six (6).1 (Mr. Greenlee had not yet arrived). Mr. Cornell reported that separate bids were taken on pumping equipment and that they will submit a recommendation; consequently, it is possible that they would not accept the low bid on the pumping equipment and that the low bid figure may be changed.
