CONSIDER AWARDING BID - REMODELING THE UPSTAIRS OF THE BUILDING LOCATED AT 911 S. EIGHTH (NUTRITION CENTER) - Mayor Meza stated that in the executive session they were discussing the acceptance of the low bid, as negotiated by the staff. If we would have not accepted this tonight, we would have had to go out and rebid, and would have taken a process of approximately three weeks. In doing so, we would have lost a grant of $45,000.00.. So, the staff, in order to keep this money from evaporating out of our hands, negotiated a bid with the low bidder, deleting certain items from the bid, which were: -$6,000.00 for carpet; -$4,000.00 for ceiling, -$2,500.00 for cabinets, -$3,000.00 store front, -$2,500.00 elevator shaft, -$1,000.00 electrical service - design change, ending with a total of $51,000.00; besides that there was -$2,000.00 for using less expensive light fixtures in the design change, which brought it to a total of $49,000.00 negotiation bid price.
