~~~ Mayor Beebe stated that the condition of the road at present creates a serious situation for emergency vehicles if they were to have a call on the street. It is impossible for any speed to be maintained. He questioned if the contractor for the project might do temporary work now and pave in the spring. ~. Mr.~ Feneli cautioned the Mayor and Council on the idea of deviating from the specks as some contractors probably considered the 60 day completion date and due to their. heavy work schedules this fall could not bid on the project. Mr. Grogan questioned if the Mayor was stating that the police cannot get down Wilson Mi11s and Echo Drive. Ma~.~.~ Beebe clarified that no, he didn't say that but a 50/ time loss cEwld be experienced. Mr. Hovancsek stated that the second lowest bidder is Trinidad Paving, who is doing the work on Wilson Mills, is only $1100 higher than the low bidder and this might be a consideration since his equipment would be available to do some temporary work on Echo. Mr. Barclay commented that a Public Hearing seems to be the best alterna- tive. Mr. DeMarco felt it is to late in the year to get the job done. He _r.eco- mended having the job rebid with construction to begin in the spring. Another resident from Echo Drive commented that until a figure could bE established in regard to the time element, if this was a factor in the , bidding, nothing should be done until new bids came in. Mr. Hovancsek stated that bids could be requested with completion date to be by June 1, 1980. Mr. Barclay stated th at it is the Engineer's responsibility to-see that the contractor abide by the Ohio Department of Standards for the job and didn't feel there was a risk of poor construction due to the weather. He felt the bids would be much higher next spring. Further discussion was held with a Public Hearing to be held on Monday, October 15, 1979 at 7:00 P.M.
