L. Ole rk' s bid of $51, 550.30 is low on Pv#53, this being $36.86 under the bid of the Morgan - Hill Paving Company, who are next low bidders. H. L. Olark'e bid of 070,310.07 is low en Pv#54, this being 4''6065.66 below T. B. MoGahey's bid, thich was the next low bid on this con- traot. I would recommend that H. L. Clark be given contraote Pv.#53 and #54. 0n Pv.#55 - for 3" sheet asphalt wearing au:L.18(3e on 8" pit rook base, the R. G. Lasseter & Company's bid of 413 9 769.06 is low, being praotioally :i;510,000.00 under that of Mor- gan -Hill Paving Oompany, who are next low bidders, for the same work. 0n Pv. #56 - for 3" sheet asphalt veering surface on 8" pit rook base, the R.

MoGahey' e bid of 0136,802.69 is low, being 12640.00 under that of Morgan -Hill who are next low for the same class of construction. I would recommend that T. B.

Quinn 0o., the next lowest bidder for the same type of construc- tion. I would recommend that Morgan -Hill Paving Company te giv- en thin work. All of these bids, except for the waterbound macadam etreete in ()Glared town, are well below our estimated prices. me waterbound macadam bids, however, run practically 7 0 0 0 . 0 0 over our estimated figures. - Yours very truly, (Signed) ERNEST COTTON Director of Public Service. 1 9 The Director of Publio Service stated that the bids for Contracts 56, 56, 57 and 58 were lower than the estimatesi oasts as made by the City Manager and recommended that the bide for Contracts 55, 67 and 58 be acoopted, but that the bids for Oontraote 53 and 54 weee all higher than the estimated oust and that the lowest bidder, H. L. Olark ee Sons, was approximately 7 0 0 0 . 0 0 above the estimated cost. There was some dismission as to whether or not the bids for Contract° 53 and 54 should be rejected and new bide called for and Mr. Clark, the low bidder for the work under the contraote in question, stated to the Commission that he had matte a conservative bid and that if other bids were asked for he would not be able to make a lower bid than the ones al- ready made. The Director of Publics Service stated that he did not know whether better Jul- 8th, 1924. bids could be obtained if re -advertised for. It wee brought out that there ate a large number of streets in the district neluded under °entreat)) 53 and 54 that are impassable and that the contractor for the P/Ork would have diffi- oulty in hauling materiels to the proper location°. It was thought that this ()audition might have some bearing on the high bide received for the work under these ()entreats and the Director of Public Servine stated that if lir. Clark Was willing to leave his bid open he wou1d. make a closer eheak on the work and try to determine the reason for the difference between the eetimnted cost and the bide received and reconcile carve poesible. Mr. Clark stated that he was willing to leave the offer open until the next meeting of the Commie- , sion. Thereupon the following resolution was offered by Mr LlIMATIXS : RESCIU.VION NO. 3.533.
