Housing Manager Terre LaRocca reported that staffwent out to bid for this work, of an approximate $1.2 million scope, receiving only one bid for same. After looking at the proposal of that bidder, consisting of a general contractor and a secondary subcontractor, staff determined that the secondary subcontractor would be performing the majority of the work. She stated that following the necessary background check for that contractor, staff felt he was unqualified to handle such a large project. Therefore, she said rejection of the bid and authorization to rebid was recommended. Member Spiegel moved to, by Minute Motion, authorize staff to reject the bid received from All City Enterprises for the subject project, and authorize the City Clerk to re -advertise and call for bids. Motion was seconded by Vice Chairman Kelly and carried by unanimous vote. V. RESOLUTIONS None VI. NEW BUSINESS None VII. CONTINUED BUSINESS None VIII. OLD BUSINESS None IX.
