<br />3) Contract No. 33: This Rehabilitation Contract was re-
<br />commended, by the E -7 Advisory Committee, to be awarded
<br />to Ted Combs Construction, in bid amount of $5,723.05,
<br />(the second lowest bidder) for the rehabilitation at
<br />1311 South Fellow Street, as per letters dated March 17
<br />and March 20, 1975, from Mr. Keith P. Crighton, Director
<br />of Bureau of Housing. American Home Improvement was the
<br />low bidder, in bid amount of $5,699.00, but failed to
<br />comply with the bond requirement, under the E -7 Project,
<br />for Contract Nos. 16, 20 and 31, which had been pre-
<br />viously awarded to them as the low bidder.
<br />Mr. Stanley Walczak, owner of American Home Improve-
<br />ment, was requested to provide performance bonds, on
<br />Contract Nos. 16, 20 and 31, to be in compliance with
<br />the bid bond requirement for E -7 contracts, by March
<br />19, 1975, deadline set. Mr. Crighton spoke with Mr.
<br />Walczak, at 8:30 a.m., on March 20, 1975, and was in-
<br />formed by Mr. Walczak that he was unable to comply
<br />with the requirement by March 19 deadline. The E -7
<br />Advisory Committee had recommended that if the per-
<br />formance bonds are not provided by March 18, on Con-
<br />tract Nos. 16, 20 and 31, that Contract No. 33 be
<br />awarded to the next low bidder - -that being Ted Combs
<br />Construction.
<br />Mr. Kevin J. Butler, Commission Legal Counsel, ad-
<br />vised if the contractor cannot provide performance
<br />bonds for the contracts, he is not a legitimate
<br />bidder.
<br />On motion by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Chenney and
<br />carried, Rehabilitation Contract No. 33, was awarded
