7. NEW $USINESS (Cont'd lump sum of $45,000.00. The documents called for specific unit ,ricer, and in talking to Mr. Kevin J. Butler, Commission Legal ounsel, about this, he advises the low bid of $45,000.00 cannot e accepted because.there are no unit prices in the specification roposal and the unit prices are needed for payment under the ontract. The next low bidder is Ritschard Bros., Inc., in bid mount of $53,747.70, and they seem to be the apparent low bidder ho bid in accordance with the bid documents. The only item of rregularity in their case is that they had not signed the Section , which is the E.E.O. section. In discussing this with Mr. Butler nd with Mr. Frank Alford, who represents the E.E.O., we were advised his is an irregularity that frequently occurs and which can be cor- ected after the bid opening. Mr. Brownell advised he had discussed his matter also with a representative from Rieth -Riley Construction D., Inc., who would be the next low bidder, and they agreed that t was an irregularity that could be corrected and would have no bjection if Ritschard Bros., Inc. was allowed to complete the Sec - ion 3 form. . Brownell suggested that perhaps the Commission may wish to fer this to Legal Counsel, or may wish to act on the awarding the contract today. President Nimtz stated that as he understands the situation the 1 w bidder is actually Jackson Wrecking Company at $45,000.00; h wever, there is no breakdown of the various unit amounts which i3 required by the bid documents. He stated he was advised that Jackson Wrecking Company got mixed up on the bid opening date aid submitted their bid in a hurry and didn't fill out all of tie documents requested. The question before the Commission is w ether to award this Contract to Ritschard Bros., Inc., the n xt low bidder, or to reject all the bids and to ask for re bidding. However, as all of us who were at the groundbreaking ar the St. Joseph Bank site on Block 6 the other day know that t me is of the essence and they are very interested in getting that large area cleaned up and this is what this is about. C mmissioner Cira added that Ritschard Bros., Inc. also has noted t at they would complete the work in 30 calendar days, whereas J ckson Wrecking Company noted 90 calendar days. On motion by Mr. Robinson, seconded by Mr. Cira and carried, De- molition and Site Clearance Contract No. 39 was awarded to Ritchard Bros., Inc., in bid amount of $53,747.70, and the President and Secretary be authorized to enter into and execute said Contract, subject to Legal Counsel approval and HUD concurrence. c.
