Please note, the original bid <br />received by Driveways, Inc., on September 5, 1979, was <br />$265,345.25.

A copy of the Bid Tabulation for the original bids received <br />on September 5, 1979. <br />We have examined Driveways' revised bid. Their bid is approximately 7°0 <br />higher than our Engineer's Estimate and we feel this is not excessive and, <br />therefore, find Driveways' bid acceptable. It should be noted, Driveways' <br />original bid bond for bids received September 5, 1979, is still in effect <br />and we consider Driveways, Inc. to be capable of performing the work as <br />described by the revised contract documents, technical plans and specifica- <br />tions. <br />Our recommendations for implementing this project are as follows: <br />A. Issue the Notice of Award of the Contract for Phase II <br />Gifford Area Sewage System Improvements to Driveways, Inc. <br />based on the bids received September 5, 1979. <br />B. Authorize the Chairman of the Board to execute the Contract <br />Documents subject to the review and approval of the documents <br />by the County Attorney. <br />C. Authorize the Chairman of the Board to execute Change -Order <br />No. 1 at the safie time the Contract Documents are executed. <br />D. Authorize the.Chairman of the Board to issue the Notice to <br />Proceed to the Contractor after approval of the Contract <br />Documents by the Farmers Home Administration. <br />Please note, the original Bid Tabulation of September 5, 1979 and the Project <br />Cost Summary of December 31, 1980 are included for your information. <br />We will make a recommendation on the water line renovation for Pine View Park <br />Subdivision after construction of this project is under way. <br />Should you require further information or clarification, please call. <br />Very truly yours, <br />q,Jl.hn A.
