Administrator Chandler advised that after the bid opening, <br />we received a request from Ivey Construction to withdraw their <br />low bid of $1,240,247 as they claim it was a miscommunication and <br />their bid should have been $1,840,000. Mr. Ivey is here to <br />present to the Board documentation of any error and justification <br />for withdrawal of their bid. The architect feels it is a good <br />bid and should be accepted. If the Commission is not convinced, <br />as a result of Mr. Ivey's presentation, then staff would <br />recommend taking the bid bond. If the Commission concurs with <br />what Mr. Ivey presents, it then would be staff's recommendation <br />to reject all bids, redesign and rebid. <br />Mr. Ivey came before the Board and advised that they made an <br />error when they started to write the bid down; they had a miscom- <br />munication and his daughter misunderstood what was phoned in. He <br />explained that they have the bid on a computer and as they get <br />adjustments from subs,'they plug the new figures in. <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that it then apparently is not <br />Mr. Ivey's contention that they missed some particular item, but <br />just that his daughter misunderstood the total dollar bid figure, <br />and Mr. Ivey agreed. <br />Mr. Ivey submitted the following copy of their bid figure <br />print-out, noting that their computer paper doesn't have the <br />company name on it, but it is titled North County Library, dated <br />7/24/89, and it does set out the bottom line bid figure of <br />$1,840,347. <br />® <br />55 �' "' �jl <br />AUG 1 <br />J <br />
