He felt <br /> 41 that the project had relatively small quantities involved <br /> 42 and there was not much incentive for bidders to bid. Only <br /> 43 three bids were received. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Stowe noted that some of the design features of the <br /> 46 project would have required large equipment thereby <br /> 47 necessitating additional employees . The hole in the <br /> 48 project -was designed to be twenty-five feet deep <br /> 49 according to OSHA regulations and would required <br /> 50 considerable sheeting. The sheeting requirements were <br /> 51 dramatically underestimated in the specifications for the <br /> 52 project . <br />
