After recent <br />questions and studies of how the different <br />estimates have compared with the actual work <br />prepared, the staff is recormnending that the <br />Conmission modify the guidelines to reduce the <br />20% contractor estimate limit to 15 %. <br />Mr. Combs questioned the recormnendation to <br />accept bids within 15% of the Bureau estimate <br />ratlier than going to a lower estimate <br />ctui eline of 10 %. <br />Mrs Kolata explained that the recormnendation <br />was based on the estimates received over the <br />past 12 months where the majority of bids fell <br />between 7 -12% of the cost estimates. <br />Mr. Leverman was asked by the Cormnission to <br />rev Lew the old Emergency Repair process where <br />several bids were accepted and then awarded <br />for each repair.
