In R -66, Mr. Brownell said we had been requested to have an independent audit of the period from January 1, 1975, through June 30, 1977, and we were authorized to make requests for proposals and we did. We sent out request proposals from six companies as follows: Pete Marwick Mitchell & Com an , whose bid, if they could do the work in June was $5,000.00 or $6,625.00, if they had to do it later than June. Crowe Chizek and Company, whose bid is $3,030.00. Price Waterhouse and Company, who called us and said they received the request, but they decided not to make a bid. Goodson -Tyler and Associates, who bid $4,000.00. Ernst & Ernst, who bid $3,600.00. John Dobson and Company, who bid $2,468.00.

RE OLD BUSINESS, Continued b. Elimination of Labor Standards Provision, Rehabilitation Contracts, report by Keith Crighton tabled for further study in Commission meetings of May 6 and May 20th, 1977 adjourned until June 17, 1977, for consideration by the membership of the full commission. Mr. Brownell said "Unfortunately, we have the same number of commissioners this morning that we had last time (3) because Mr. Donaldson is on vacation, and Mr. Cira had to attend a funeral, I don't know what your pleasure is." Mr. Nimtz directed that this item be placed on agenda for the next meeting. NEW BUSINESS a. Change Order No. 1 to Contract NECD /PR /CS -1/05 to increase amount of the contract by $495.00 for an amended contract total of $7,327.00 per recommendation of the Chief Inspector, Richard E. Pfeifer, Bureau of Housing, North. Mr. Pfeifer stated the items being added were previously cut off because the estimated cost was too high to comply with maximum cost under the guide lines. After the contract was bid they found they could add these needed items and delete the combination windows in the basement and stay within the guide line maximum limit. The items being added are windows and screens totalling $615.00 and deleting combination windows in the basement totalling $120.00 for a net increase of $495.00. Upon motion of Mr. Robinson, seconded by Mr. Wiggins the motion to approve was carried. b. Change Order No. 1 to Contract #SECD /PR /CS -6/48.
