HE REPORTED THAT THE ENGINEERS RECOMMEND WE REJECT THE BID. MR. LINER QUESTIONED WHETHER WE NOW CAN GO TO NEGOTIATIONS WITH A CONTRACTOR SINCE THE BID RE- QUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT CANNOT BE DONE, AND IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REPROCESS AND READVERTISE. MR. LINER NOTED THAT THEY PLAN TO DISCUSS WITH THE CON- TRACTORS WHO HAVE NOT BID, THE REASON THEY DID NOT. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT SO MANY INVITATIONS WENT OUT AND THE CONTRACTORS DID NOT BID, WHICH LED HIM TO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING IN THE SPECIFICATIONS MAY REQUIRE SOME SLIGHT REVISION.
