believed to be our beat judgment. In the last advertisement We did ask for alternate bidit
Really alternate plans are not competitive bidding. There is considerable difference.
we have acceptei a bid .on the steel work. It seama to be that on the substructure we are
aiver;.isine for competitive bids and if at that time oounoil feels the bide are too high
we oars have the en:ineer brine- in a half dozen plans and perhaps we oan build a bridge fo
but if you take alternate plans on the substructure yoti have not oompetitive bidding at a
i c... of tnt opinion tit en ineera have been very fair,- they have submitted blue prints a
era', ings and oouneil has taken consi.xerable time, an‘ it see: -.a to me if we want to change
tn; plane and build cheaper bridge, why instruct your en,;ineer to prepare the plans and
let everyone bid on them. We thought tn:re were oer, in things in Hillyer & aperrings bi
anealaneed a'_], thatowe eeuld save money, eo their bid was rejected and we are readvertisi
Jhee nese »ill show in whatever you do, ao if there is a fault it is with council and not
au aueh the en ineer. If we are -•oin• to built a cheap briaee let the engineer submit thr
or fear plans and advertise o1ia�on ail of them. I had hopes of buildin: the beat, which
1 tnink tale city demands. That •.ou.i be my plan rather than let one concern submit
•...teen,_te pial:a on the substructure,- if ao you might as well award the::: the oontract
now. Tau ooay ::iia bid on their plane but the;iselves. I know nothing of the temporary
,insein` at u, atiil if the en--in:•tr thought it wise to so aever',ise, why you have not
ae.tette any bid. hiss it el lit h,.vt been a little presurnptioue on hie rart, I don't se

er.r. Romfh: I ooncur absolute _y and think we should go ahead and see 'What We Cttt doe4n
if we must have newplans give then; all a show as w e want oompetitive biding. It
you are not satisfied with the bids, have the redraw several plans and advertise on
teem.
.:r. Rich eycaan: That means delaying tu-; bridges that muoh longer and the chances are
they will be turned down and then wait and draw several sets of plans and by the time -
you are ready it ;gill be Christmas, but if you amend your advertisement now and allow
these ether bids to oorne in, not only Haokedorn but any other alternate plans and
then it seems cur engineer, if the bids are within our money, oan make an analyses of
the bids an, select, if they are bidding on a basis to give us our money's worth.. Vhrt
is the defferene between our engineer drawing up several sets of plans or having
aittrn.te e is axis him select the beet.
Romfh: it would oe :rivate b d.line in one case and oompetition in the other.
r. Hirhleyeaan: If it is not competition to allow every one to oome in I don't know
hat is, an.. you will have your briu`es quicker. Dug bridges are a joke, look what
happened the other clay.
.r. Marton: If you advertise for local bids that would eliminate our local people
ueoause none of trireme have eneineers aa,e can only bi.: on ehat we specifically advertise
it ;ours oe competition in asense between bic. eonoerns.. For that reason I didn't
unetratanu when we auvertise.i for thedie piers teat there would be or could be any
alternate bid. 1 thou; et we santea bids on a s,,ecif ied thing.
r. Romfh: It rni rht be weli to let the en-~ineer prose to now, if you think the bids are
`oinr to be out of pro: ertion, to aeeigncheaper plans. I simply went the .lifierent
eontra..tors to have every chance tu old and think it V.oui.1 be well to eve the engineer
rive us two or three sets of plans. i was dieappointe.a in the last bidding, but there
is a reaecn for that,- prices on material 'nvee advanced very materially. Y::; can
give:•ti,e au :eat everyone oan bid out if you tine aitern;.tt plans it amounts
C-1'ae:icaely to a private bid.
