AND WHEREAS, the bid opening was held April 8, 1993 (Job No.
9325) .
j AND WHEREAS, the low bid from Burr Construction was
determined to be non-responsive as it failed to provide a
i
bidder' s bond in the minimum amount required by the contract
specifications.

Engineering in the amount of $78, 320.00 exceeds the budgeted
funds by $3, 320 . 00 .

Code states.:
j "If all bids received are in excess of $75,000 . 00, or

city council may, by passage of a resolution by a four-
fifths vote, award the contract, at $80,000. 00 or less,
to the lowest responsible bidder if council determines.
that the cost estimate of the city was reasonable."
