With this requirement at point, it becomes <br />imperative that the General Contractor be able to control <br />his subcontractors with any and all legal means provided <br />him. A General Contractor cannot perform with a sub- <br />contractor that he has no control over whatsoever. This <br />is the case with Willo Products, in the fact that we as <br />General Contractor can foresee that our contractural <br />control will be severely limited if we should subcontract <br />with this subcontractor. <br />If anyone should be reading this letter that has work- <br />ed in a General Contractors office on a bid day then they <br />would know the fast pace and hectic atmosphere preceeding <br />all bids. It is a normal and common occurance that in <br />the days following a bid that a General Contractor will <br />need to make some revisions after has has had time to <br />evaluate all aspects of bids received. Even the County <br />reserves the right for a period of evaluation regarding <br />bids received. Are you maintaining that the County needs <br />several days to evaluate six (6) bids while only.allowing <br />the General Contractor the final minutes left after receiv- <br />ing better than 150 individual bids for everything from <br />Termite Treatment to Toilet Paper Dispensers? <br />t4 <br />
