This account was <br />actually bid on the commercial rate, which is much higher. <br />Our estimate is very inaccurate. We bid the job twice, and <br />only one bidder came in with the consistent price of $11,490.00. <br />We discussed it with all the people involved at the Center, and <br />we are recommending that you accept it so that the job may run. <br />Mr. Robinson made a motion that the electrical contract be <br />awarded to F & F Electric, Inc. for $11,490.00, subject to <br />legal counsel review and South Bend Common Council approval, <br />seconded by Mr. Donaldson, and the motion was unanimously carried. <br />. Kagel: Excuse me for one moment. Wouldn't it be nice if <br />public were informed what this particular job is? You <br />de reference to the term "Center ". What is it, Century Center <br />what? <br />Mr. Wiggins: No, the center referred to in all the change orders <br />come out of different areas. There is an area center which has a <br />group composed of area residents, local residents, contractors, <br />and people from our staff, who go over these things, explore the <br />whole thing on site, and then made recommendations to us. <br />Mr. Kagel: Is this for a single job or a group of jobs? <br />Mr. Ellison: This is for the Southeast neighborhood center itself. <br />It then comes before the South Advisory Board, which is composed <br />of what Mr. Wiggins has indicated. <br />-4- <br />AWARD OF <br />BID CONTRACT <br />
