Re: Awarding Contract — Expansion of Senior Citizens' Complex

I have received word from Ken Webber of the firm Carlberg Jackson
Architects, to the effect that D. and H. Construction is prepared to sign
the contract and proceed immediately with the construction of the expansion
of the Senior Citizens' development as per the schedule stated in their
Bid, subject to an increase in the price of $2,701.00. This would change
their basic Bid from $207,514.00 to $210,215.00. Since D,and H, Construction
are’ not prepared to sign the Contract and proceed with the construction at
their basic Bid, I would recommend to Council that we rescind the motion
of the Council Meeting of June 12th,1978 in which we awarded the Contract
to D. and H. Construction and I am prepared to move a motion that we now
award the Contract to Heinen Construction for the basic Bid of $205,330.00,
subject to them being prepared to sign the Contract and proceed immediately
with the construction on the basis of their initial basic Bid. In this
way, should Heinen Construction now come in and indicate that they also
want an increase, the motion will in my opinion be cancelled and we should
then review the question of the Bids from all of the present Bidders to
decide who should be awarded the Bid.
