He stated he is very happy that the City re-32 <br />bid this project due to the fact that construction costs and rates go up each year. He stated it was 33 <br />very prudent to re-bid this project. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Councilmember Thomas asked why the bid is lower than last year. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Director of Public Works Lee stated the two biggest reasons are a change in specifications with a 38 <br />larger window to do the construction in, and the targeting of smaller residential builders that 39 <br />focus in on these projects. He stated the combination of those two helped lower the total bid. 40 <br /> 41 <br />MOTION/SECOND: THOMAS/GUNN.
