REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 8, 1977 BID ACCEPTED - COLOR PHOTO LAB FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT Chief Michael Borkowski submitted a report to the Board on the review of bids received for Color Photo Lab Equipment for the Police Department. The Chief recommended acceptance of the low bid of Photo -Pro, Division Mcion, Inc., with the deletion from the bid of One Kreonite Table at $214.00 and One Kreonite Porta Mixer at $290.00. These deletions decrease the bid by $504.00, making the total recommended award $15,376.09. Division Chief Glenn Terry was present amd advised the Board that the bid received was slightly higher than the Criminal Justice grant for the project so it was necessary to make deletions. He also noted that the other bid received from Schilling's did not include all the items listed in the specifications and was, therefore, not considered. Mr. Brunner asked Chief Terry if the bid received from Schilling's was non -responsive to the bid request and Chief Terry said that it was. Upon motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the Board accepted the recommendation to award the bid for color photo lab equipment to Photo -Pro, Division McJon, Inc., with the two deletions as noted in the recommendation, at a total bid price of $15,376.09, and rejected the bid of Schilling's as being non -responsive to the specifications.

This results in a revised bid price of $61,290.17. Upon motion made by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Brunner and carried, the Board accepted the recommendation and awarded the bid as specified in the recommendation. Contract documents and the performance bond and labor and materials payment bonds were also submitted to the Board.

CALVERT APPROVED Mr. McMahon reported that the Board has been dealing with the matter of a temporary office located at 307 W. Calvert Street for some time. The original request for a temporary office was granted in October, 1975 and one extension was granted. In May of 1977, the Board requested an update from owner of the property, A. E. Mickelson, since no permanent structure had been constructed. Mr. Michelson did not respond to that request. A Cease and Desist Order was issued by Building Commissioner John DeLee. The Board has now received a letter from Carl Leibowitz, Attorney for Mr. Mickelson, requesting a sixty-day continuance and advising that Mr. Mickelson has received quotations for construction of the office. Mr. Leibowitz pointed out that additional delay in the matter was caused in negotiating with the railroad for real estate involved. Mr. McMahon reviewed the quotations submitted with Mr. Leibowitz' letter and said it should be noted that the proposal was not signed by Mr. Mickelson and the time period for acceptance of the proposal has expired. Mr. Brunner said he would suggest that the Board give Mr. Mickelson an additional thirty days, based on his representation that construction will begin. If it does not begin within thirty days, the Board can direct that the cease and desist order be enforced. Mr. Mullen said he would prefer any continuance to be based upon completion of the building and asked Mr. McMahon if the construction could be completed in thirty days. Mr. McMahon said the type of building being considered could be very nearly complete within thirty days. Upon motion made by Mr. Brunner, seconded by Mr. McMahon and carried, the Board granted Mr. Mickelson a thirty -day continuance for the temporary office at 307 W. Calvert Street, with the understanding that construction of the permanent building would be completed within that thirty -day period.
