Mr. Kohlan also presented a letter from Sandstrom & Hafner agreeing to the separation of their bids for Pro�ects �k55 and ir�58. If Bianconi were released from their bid, Sarbarossa & Sons would be low bidder for Pro�ect �i�55, and Sandstrom & Hafner would be low bidder for Pro�ect �'�58. Mr. Sheridan asked if the bidders didn't have a bond. The City Manager stated "yes" they did have a 5% bid bond, which was submitted at the time the bids were received. Mr. Kohlan stated that one of the questions to be answered was whether or not Bianconi would be in a position to get a performance bond, should they get the contract, and if they would not be able to do so, the contract would not be valid. Mr. Sheridan stated that Bianconi is considerably below the other bidder on these two pro�evts combined, and that possihly they made an error in their bidding, and that is why they are asking to be relieved Mr Wolke asked Mr. Kohlan that if, when the bid is presented and opened, unless he immediately withdraws the bid, should it not be considered a valid bid. Mr Kohlan stated that this would be true as a general statement. Mr Greig asked if the Council could accept this letter from Bianconi and grant their request and make a policy from now on that there will be no with- drawals Mr. Kohlan stated bids are open for acceptance for 30 days after the date they are opened or submitted, and, as good faith, the bidders should submit a bond in the amount of 5% of the bid, and should the bidder fail to enter tnto L J � I� � , `��'� the contract which he was awarded by the City, the oid bond would be applied as liquidated damages to the City. Mr. Wo1ke stated that if the Consulting Engineers stated Chey were qualified bidders, and they are low bidders, whaC else could the City do 6ut award them Che 6id, and ChaC he would like to recommend Bianconi as the low bidder if they are qualified.

Mr. Do1an stated ehat SianconL was the second low bLdder at New Brighton the night before, and, therefore, was of the opinion that they did not have any work lined up when their bids �.ere submitted to Fridley, but New Brighton suhsequently threw out the low hidder and awarded the bid to Biancom , which was the second low 6idder. Bianconi is a small company, and has only one machine, and they did not feel they could do the work within the completion date. If the completion date could be extended, it would be appreciated. Mr. Wo1ke suggested that may�+� this matter should ba tabled temporarily. Mr. Kohlan asked when the 30 days irom the bid letting expa.res. Les Knutson stated August 1. Mr. Kohlan stated the Council could move that it is found that Bianconi is the low bidder, and the bid is therefore awarded to them, and that should there be a failure on their part within the time limit, the bids be awarded to the next lowest bidder.

Mr. Kohlan stated if the Council took the above action, they would lay the groundwork for possible damages Mr. Greig suggested that the Council award the bid, Motion by ,Tohanson to adopt Resolution ��63-1962, awarding the bid to Bianconi Construction Company fot Project �k58 in the amount of $41,787.40.
