South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Me ting - January 16, 1981 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br />e. continued ... <br />Mrs. Baumgartner Not with those two. Wilton is <br />new to us and he is working somewhat slow, but other <br />than that there is no problem. <br />Mr McMahon: I would suggest that the Commission <br />might wish to consider the low bid. <br />Mr Cira: That is what I would say. <br />Mr. McMahon: Kathy, I think that the last time <br />th s was before the Commission we told you to <br />come forward with it as the 20% guideline, and <br />the Commission would decide whether or not to go <br />to er. <br />Mr Cira: You have no problems with performance <br />wi h Stickler. <br />Mr Nimtz: I think his reputation has been alright, <br />as far as I know. <br />Ms Auburn: One of the things we asked for on a <br />co ple of other occasions where we have gone with <br />th low bidder and they have been outside the 20% <br />is for some kind of report back to the Commission <br />on the final product. In other words, they run in- <br />to problems with cost and have to come back with <br />an Cher bid - was the quality up to our standards. <br />Pe hags we can ask for the same kind of report back <br />on this particular house. <br />Mrs. Baumgartner: One comment I can make is that <br />all of the contracts that have been awarded, either <br />using the 20% or not using the 20% rule, the con- <br />tractors have been able to hold to the cost and we <br />have not had to have a change.order on any of the <br />contracts, so I think that speaks for itself. <br />Mr. Butler: Kathy, I think we also indicated when <br />yoj received a bid that was more than 20% below you <br />wo ld run it past the bidder to determine whether <br />or not they may have misunderstood specifications, <br />etc. <br />Mr . Baumgartner: In this instance we talked to <br />both Stickler and Bud Wilton, and they though that <br />they had given us true and fair bids. <br />14 <br />
