South B Special Redevelopment Commission eting - April 20, 1978 6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont'd . Butler: Would you like to do that with Jurtin's Construction mpany as well? Mr. obinson moved that the previous motion (to table two bids) be rescinde and be reconsidered, and that the question of all three bids be placed o the Agenda for the next meeting, seconded by Mr. Wiggins and carried. r. Dave Anderson: What happens now to the housing contracts that ou have approved earlier, using the figures that now appear to be n doubt? . Nimtz: The question has never been raised on those up until ase particular contracts. . Dave Anderson: It has been raised on these particular ones? . Nimtz: Apparently, yes. r. Dave Anderson: What happens now...do you have to wait word for ny other contracts to go,so in effect housing rehabilitation is stymied ntil you get direction from HUD? Mr. Brownell: Mr. Anderson, we have been under general duty on all contracts to get an update on wage before they bid, and normally it went through Frank Alford and he went to HUD. HUD would then go to the Department of Labor and get the updated wage scale, and we used that in our contracts. We had to have it checked within ten days of the con- ference with the bidders. So, it has been a normal procedure to get an updated wage scale from HUD all along. For some reason they are not getting it now, I don't know why. Mr. Donaldson: Well, who is responsible for that? Mr. Brownell: Well, normally, we went through Frank Alford, who was the man who handled wages, and now Anita L. Fields has that position of checking on the contractor, and holding the conferences, and getting an update of wages. Mr. Nimtz: Anything further? If not, we will proceed with the next item. Mr. Scott: If the scales are changed, would these packages have to be re -bid? Mr. Robinson: I believe so. Mr. Harcus: Regulations say that you do not re -bid them if the prevailing wage corms in after the opening. -11-
