<br />AWARD QUOTATION - REPAIR OF PLAYING FIELD WALL - COVELESKI
<br />REGIONAL STADIUM
<br />In a Memorandum to the Board, Mr. Carl P. Littrell, Director,
<br />Division of Engineering, advised that on December 14, 1992, the
<br />Board received and opened five (5) Quotations for the above
<br />referenced project. Mr. Littrell further advised that he has
<br />reviewed those Quotations and found that the amounts agree with
<br />the amounts read at the Board meeting.
<br />Mr. Littrell recommended that the Board award the Quotation of
<br />L.L. Geans and Sons, Inc., 56535 Magnetic Drive, Mishawaka,
<br />Indiana, in the amount of $23,236.00 for this project. It is
<br />noted that L.L. Geans was not the low bidder on this project.
<br />Mr. Littrell informed members of the Board that all Quotations
<br />exceeded the estimate of $14,500.00 for this project. The
<br />specifications asked for Quotations to patch the wall. L.L.
<br />Geans and Sons offered an alternate method of repair. They
<br />propose to saw the top of the wall off horizontally, removing the
<br />deteriorating topping that requires repair. The wall
<br />cross-section will thus be restored to a like new condition, just
<br />one (1) inch shorter. Mr. Littrell stated that he believes this
<br />will be a permanent repair not a temporary measure as the
<br />specified method would have been. Therefore, he noted that he
<br />believes it is in the City's best interest to award this contract
<br />to L.L. Geans and Sons in the amount of $23,236.00.
<br />Mr. Caldwell made a motion that the recommendation be accepted
<br />and the Quotation be awarded. Mrs. Mueller seconded the motion

<br />coat and sidewalks in Cross Creek Phase V. It was also noted
<br />that the Beneficiary's name was amended to be City of South Bend
