SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MINUTES <br />Page ive <br />Janua y 3, 1978 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS, (CONTINUED <br />ince the cost estimate was $4,970.00..it is obvious that <br />igure is very vague..they no longer have a cost estimator <br />ut there. <br />r. Robinson commented that if the estimate is'bery vague" <br />e are right back in the position we were in some time ago. <br />Mr. Schaller stated that he could add something here..there <br />is considerable duct work involved in several of the struc- <br />tures where we are installing heating units and we are <br />unable to get a very close estimate as to the costs involved <br />in doing the duct work. <br />r. Robinson: You had an estimated cost on projects in the <br />ast when you were using unit prices - I didn't think you <br />ere getting down to details such as the amount of duct and <br />ost, in this manner. I figured you took it off some kind <br />f book or some formula whereby you estimated unit cost. <br />r. Schaller: They do estimate unit cost, but are somewhat <br />ague and do not get into the duct work, what it is exactly, <br />hat sizes of duct, etc. so this is where our variance will <br />ccur. <br />Mr. Robinson moved for award of the contract to the low <br />bidder, Area Services, Inc. in the amount of $6,143.00, <br />seconded by Mr. Donaldson and carried. <br />c) Commission approval of contract award, for plumbing contract - <br />Contract Set #5, to R.
