Regular Council Meeting September 16, 1996 8 Mr. Hovancsek said since the area is a"war zone" currently, it would be the time to complete the work and do the seeding so the next construction season the resurfacing could be done and then the project would be finished. If we wait until Spring, it will be late Sununer before the resurfacing could be done. He said Bond Enterprises is the former Tony Calabrese company; they are a good firm. They did a.good job on the work they did for us last Fall. Mr. Buckholtz said Marra has been there and knows the terrain. Will there be any problem afterward-like one contractor may say they did not do that-and vice versa. He asked if there was any benefit to spending more money and go with the higher bid to keep the same contractor in there. Mr. Hovancsek said it would make it a little easier, but the worlc is delineated on two different sides of the street. Mr. Brett said the whole purpose of going out to bid is to get an idea of what the dollar amount was. He thinks people will ask why we would go out to bid and accept a bid that is $5,000 more. He said, he was not real appreciative of their idea of traffic control on Beta Drive last year. Council President Fixler said when you have lowest and best bid, he thinks we have an obligation to accep,t the lowest bid.
