74 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 1981 there had been some confusion as to the quantity of work to be done on the part of the contractors, except for Slatile Roofing, on Fire Station No. 10, but he felt this had been resolved when Mr. Markle had contacted all contractors and had obtained written proposals from them for the portion of the roof to be repaired on Station No. 10. The revised proposals were: Midland Engineering Company, $6,470.00; City Roofing, $6,100.00; and All -Weather Exteriors, $4,980.00.

Mr. James Markle, Building Commissioner, stated that the basic bid was for the reroofing without insulation and that had been changed. He stated that City Roofing had included repair and replacement of existing insulation in its bid. He stated that that amount was determined and deducted from its original bid. He confirmed that it was the second low bid received. Mr. Hill advised that, under normal circumstances, the Board would award the lowest bid or re -advertise the project. After a brief discussion, upon a motion made by Mr. Kernan, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the low bid of Slatile Roofing in the amount of $19,200 for Fire Station No. 7 was awarded; and the low bid of All -Weather Exteriors in the amount of $4,980 for Fire Station No. 10 was awarded.
