Mr. Herrera stated, "In the past when we have visited with Council on certain bid items, we have recommended an alternate bid in the event one company wasn't able to perform. The Council has implied that it would be a good policy matter to start following in the future. I have no problem with just sUbmitting the lowest bid meeting all specification. We thought we were appeasing certain requests to the city Council over the years. That is fine, and we will accept the low bid. ")
