Leszczynski s/James R. Caldwell s/Mary H. Mueller ATTEST• s/Sandra M. Parmerlee, Clerk APPROVE WITHDRAWAL OF LOW BID AND AWARD NEXT LOWEST BID - ASBESTOS ABATEMENT - SOUTHERN HOTEL & BORDEN BUILDING (STUDEBAKER CORRIDOR REDEVELOPMENT AREA) In a Memorandum to the Board, Mr. Carl P. Littrell, Director, Division of Engineering, advised that on October 26, 1992, the Board received nine (9) bids and rejected a tenth for lack of a proper Bid Bond, for the above referred to project. Mr. Littrell noted that he has reviewed the bids and recommends that Select Environment East, Inc., 3300 East 83rd Place, Merrillville, Indiana, either be allowed to withdraw their bid or that the Board interpret the intent of the bidder to offer a $1,000.00 deduction for being awarded both contracts, bringing the total bid to $164,967.000. Mr. Littrell stated that he believes it is very obvious that this was an error on the bidders part and that it would not be to the City's advantage to take action to require the bidder to perform the work for $1,000.00 as the bid would read if interpreted literally. Ignoring the deduct, this bidder would not be the lowest bidder on either building. Therefore, Mr. Littrell recommended that the Board award the next lowest bid of Clean Air Systems, Inc., 23349 State Road 23 West,
