CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE HAS DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE <br />ADMINISTRATOR, AND THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW THE <br />45 MPH SIGNS GOT THERE - PROBABLY IT IS DUE TO SOME FEDERAL REGULATIONS, <br />HE FURTHER NOTED THAT THE ROCKRIDGE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION HAS <br />' r <br />EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN HAVING THE BICYCLE PATH EXTENDED FROM THE CITY I" <br />�G <br />LIMITS DOWN TO_ROCKRIDGE BLVD.' AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SPEED LIMIT <br />ON 6TH AVENUE, WHICH WE HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE, THE CHAIRMAN CONTINUED <br />THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR WILL CHECK ON THE 45 MPH SIGNS WHICH WERE POSTED <br />ON 17TH STREET AND BRING BACK A REPORT, <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS NEXT DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF SETTING UP <br />A NEW BIDDING PROCEDURE, HE SUGGESTED THAT WE DONT HAVE THE BIDS <br />OPENED BY THE COUNTY COMMISSION, BUT THAT THE BIDS BE RECEIVED BY THE <br />ADMINISTRATOR OR SOMEONE HE DESIGNATES; THAT THEY THEN BE ANALYZED AND <br />THE TABULATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS BE GIVEN TO THE BOARD AT THE NEXT <br />COMMISSION MEETING, HE FELT THIS WOULD AVOID ERRORS AND WOULD BE A <br />MUCH MORE CONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT. THE BIDS COULD BE RECEIVED PERHAPS <br />A WEEK BEFORE THE MEETING SO THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF TIME FOR CONSIDERA- <br />TION AND FOR ANY OF THE PROBLEMS TO BE IRONED OUT BEFORE BRINGING THEM <br />TO THE BOARD, COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THIS WOULD SAVE VALUABLE TIME. <br />HE ALSO FELT THAT PLENTY OF SAFEGUARDS CAN BE SETUP IN REGARD TO BID <br />OPENING AND THAT IT WOULD BE A WORKMANLIKE ARRANGEMENT, <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT COMMISSIONER LYONS CAME ONTO THE <br />BOARD AT THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN WE GO THROUGH OUR ANNUAL BIDS AND THAT <br />NOW IS THE TIME WHEN WE SEEM TO HAVE THE GREAT MAJORITY OF OUR BIDS. <br />HE DOUBTED WE WOULD AVERAGE ONE ITEM A MONTH ON A NORMAL BASIS OF BID <br />OPENING. THE CHAIRMAN AGREED THAT COMMISSIONER LYONS' SUGGESTION WOULD <br />SAVE SOME TIME AND ALLOW MORE TIME FOR EVALUATION, BUT STATED HE PRE- <br />FERRED BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE ENVELOPES IN FRONT OF THE PEOPLE AT A <br />•ti, SPECIFIED TIME WHEN THE PUBLIC CAN SEE THAT THE BIDS ARE ACTUALLY SEALED. <br />i <br />HE FURTHER NOTED THAT IN THIS WAY WE DONT PUT THE ADMINISTRATOR OR <br />THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT IN THE POSITION OF BEING PRESSURED TO ACCEPT <br />A LATE BID OR AN ALTERNATE BID. <br />71 <br />JAN x.01979 <br />38 PAGE 432 <br />
