6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT'D <br />a� (Cont'd) <br />Janet Allen: "I <br />am thoroughly confused on this because it's <br />like Mr. Howell <br />said, if they are <br />going to have all these <br />regulations and <br />then Mr. Crighton, <br />with I don't know who, and <br />apparently you <br />don't either, opens <br />the bids, why don't you <br />seal them.

Nimtz: "There is no dispute as to the figure amount but if <br />y u attend a meeting of the Public Works and Safety..." <br />Janet Allen: "That's my whole point..." <br />Mr. <br />Nimtz: "...which is very strict, <br />the envelope is opened <br />by <br />the city <br />attorney, I don't know <br />who does it now, reads <br />what <br />the bid <br />is, the non - collusion <br />statement, the bond, etc. <br />bang, <br />bang, <br />bang ... if one of those <br />is missing, that rules it <br />out. <br />The same <br />way with the School <br />Board..." <br />J4net Allen: "The same should be here when you are dealing..." <br />Mr. Nimtz: "Robbie's point is that Mr. Howell is fortunate to <br />have a secretary, some of these people don't have a lot of <br />help and in order to get people interested in these things <br />atid get them bidding the rules have been somewhat relaxed, <br />not in the figure amounts, but in regards to these other <br />d cuments being submitted ...

Robinson: "Yes, this has been greatly liberalized visa vie <br />the other types..." <br />M% Butler: "But we have imposed our own requirements, for <br />e ample the bid bond, the performance bonds, the standard <br />q estionnaire, non - collusion affidavit and so forth." <br />M% Wiggins: "May I ask a question?
