Box 146, Aptakistic Road, Prairie View, Illinois. It was noted that the bid had been delivered via Federal Express and an attempt had been made on Saturday, April 11, 1981, to deliver the bid; however, there had been no one in the office to sign the receipt of same. Upon a motion made by Mr. Kernan, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the Clerk was instructed to return the unopened bid, and the bid Tropical Plant Rentals was, therefore, rejected. Mr. David Jahn, Construction Manager, questioned why the Board had chosen to reject the bid of Tropical Plant Rentals when there was evidence Federal Express had tried to deliver the package prior to the bid deadline. Mr. Hill explained that it had been thought the bid would have been delivered and someone in security would have been available to sign it. He stated that the Board did not want to be in a position where it would have to waive the deadline require - ment or make exceptions. He advised that, a few weeks ago, an exception had been made when a bid had been turned in past the dead- line only because there had been a change in the bid opening date. Mr. Crone stated that it was not a matter of finding fault with a company. A gentleman in the audience asked why then the Board had given another company additional time to submit the proper bid security. Mr. Crone stated that, in the case of Hunziker's, and in past bid openings by the Board, the bid security is not an automatic fatal defect, such as a late bid or an unsigned bid. He stated that the Board has allowed, in the past, the bidder to submit the correct form of bid security within a 48 -hour period, and he stated that REGULAR MEETING APRIL 13, 1981 some form of bid security had been submitted. The contractor would be allowed a 48 -hour time period to substitute the required bid security which, in this case, would be a certified check rather than a bid bond. Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the above bids were referred to Patrick McMahon, Director of Redevelopment, and Sollitt Construction Company for review and recommendation.

He stated that he owned property next door to the lot on which the house would be moved. Mr. Leszczynski showed Mr. Wilems the site plan which indicated the house would be approximately 28 feet from the lot line. Mr. Wilems asked if the tree in front of the property would be cut down. Mr. Lykowski stated that the tree would be removed and replaced with a young tree. He stated that it was hoped the move could take place at the beginning of the next week since the proposed route was now known and a schedule could be worked out with the utility companies. He further advised that excavation could begin this week. Mr. Marchmont Kovas, South Bend Tribune reporter, asked if any of the tree branches along the route would be cut, and Mr. Lykowski stated that some branches on Riverside between Park and Forest would need to be cut. Mr. James Mullins, Southhold Restorations, Inc., advised that the immediate neighbors were notified of this and he stated that the house was only a story and a half and the chimney would be removed to keep it as low in profile as possible.

REGULAR MEETING APRIL 13, 1981 fence would be erected around the property, specifically on the south. Mr. Mullins stated that this was not known at this point.

He further advised that Southhold Restorations has a deed and easement on the structure and any other changes to the building would need to be approved by its Board of Directors.
