5. TOLD BUSINESS (Cont'd Even with change orders, they do not feel it would be fair to either one of us to arrive at a firm bid within reason. Commissioner Wiggins raised the question that several other people had bid and backed off on these and now Roseland proposes to do the work with a firm bid, and if they don't what recourse do we have, and whether we require a performance bond? Mr. L. Kent Wilcox, Acting Executive Director, advised this bid is for $13,937.00, whereas Circle Lumber's was $11,499.00. No performance bond is required as we are using local funds. This contractor is agreeing to do the work we specified and we requested a punch list. Commissioner Chenney advised that Roseland Construction Company, Inc. is a good and reliable construction firm and no one can tell at this point what will happen in the initial work. This is on muck land and a portion of the foundations are sinking. Raising the foundations may create other problems which we may have with the householders. On motion by Mr. Chenney, seconded by Mr. Wiggins and unanimously carried, the motion authorizing the award of the contract to Circle Lumber, Inc., in Commission meeting of August 16, 1974, is rescinded, and the rehabi- litation work is awarded to Roseland Construction Company, Inc., in bid amount of $13,937.00, as noted above, with authorization to enter into a contract with Roseland Construction Company, subject to Legal Counsel approval. Community Development Task Force: Relative to question COMMUNITY DEVELOP - raised by Commissioner Wiggins on the two Commissioners MENT TASK FORCE named, in Commission meeting of September 6, to meet as a Committee with Mayor Miller and Mr. William Hojnacki, Mr. L.

Kent Wilcox as the Deputy Director; and Mr. L. Kent Wilcox as the Acting Executive Director for the Department of Redevelop - ment. Termination Dates for Redevelopment Staff: Mr. L.
