Dominic Calabrese (one of the <br />bidders) asking Council to reconsider bids because in his bidding <br />he misunderstood the specs and therefore did not bid correctly. <br />Mr. Hovancsek stated that in his judgement the specs were carefully <br />stated and that A & J Contractors were the lowest and best bid. <br />Mr. Calabrese <<rho was in the audience, discussed several points of <br />bidding methods with Mr. Hovancsek. <br />Mr. Byrnes stated that if you were to reject and readvertise just <br />because one bidder misunderstood the specs, the Village would probably <br />leave itself wide open for a law suit by the present lowest bidder. <br />Mr. Barclay stated that Council has faith in the judgement of the <br />Village Engineer and documents were clearly stated and also that the <br />bid was considerably lowere than the Engineers estimate. <br />Mr. Buses, seconded by Mr. Bennett, made a motion to suspend the <br />rules of law requiring a resolution to be read on three separate <br />occasions. <br />Roll Call: AYES: Messrs., Barclay, Bennett, Bordonaro, Buses, <br />Flynn, Grogan and Schulte <br />NAYS: None Motion Carried <br />Rules Suspended <br />
