Earl Kemp of Forsgren & Perkins, City Engineers,
stated that the bid of Hammer Enterprises for the construction
of the bridges, Schedule III, in the amount of $39,180.80 was
the lowest and best bid received, and that the bid of H-K
Contractors, Inc. for the remainder of the project, Schedules
I & II was below the Engineer's estimate and was the lowest and
best bid received; that both companies were responsible bidders
and fulfilled the requirements; that because of rising material
and labor costs, it was likely that better bids could not be
obtained at a later date.

lution and moved its adoption:

projects were the lowest and best bids received and were below

WHEREAS, said bidders were and are responsible and
lowest bidders, fulfilling the requirements, and it is doubtful
that lower bids could be obtained at a later date because of
rising material and labor costs,
