Mayor Marty stated this is for a concrete block building and asked if $14,000 from TKDA was included in last year's bid, and it was so it is in line. He stated he is very happy that the City re- bid this project due to the fact that construction costs and rates go up each year. He stated it was very prudent to re-bid this project. Councilmember Thomas asked why the bid is lower than last year. Director of Public Works Lee stated the two biggest reasons are a change in specifications with a larger window to do the construction in, and the targeting of smaller residential builders that focus in on these projects. He stated the combination of those two helped lower the total bid. MOTION/SECOND: THOMAS/GUNN.
