COMMISSIONERS' REGULAR MEETING <br />Frida , January 16, 1976 Transcript: Page 5 <br />MR. BROWNELL: No. Not that way. I simply explained the fact that we <br />had a request from the Mayor to delay the project to June <br />1st. <br />MR. EVANS: Did not the request—did not the extension for the awarding <br />of the contracts initiate prior to the Mayor's letter? <br />MR. BROWNELL: The first one did. <br />MR. IGGINS: There was an extension. <br />MR. BROWNELL: We explained to the contractors we either had to reject the <br />bids, or they could be extended. <br />MR. EVANS: But they were too high' <br />MR. BROWNELL: No, that was but one of the problems, but ... <br />MR. EVANS: Well, okay. <br />MR. BROWNELL: ...but, the other problem was the timing. <br />MR. EVANS: But that request was initiated by the Redevelopment Department <br />and the contractors agreed to the extension of time. <br />MR. BROWNELL: No. That's not true! <br />MR. EVANS: That's not true? <br />MR. WIGGINS: You might put it this way: We asked them to request it and <br />they did, and we honored the request that they made. <br />
