The City received two bids for the roofing and waterproofing which are listed below: 9 195 October 11, 1977 Contractor B & M Roofing Company Fort Collins, Colorado Roofing Service Company Fort Collins, Colorado *low bidder Bid $34,767.00 $31,776.00 The Construction Manager, Architect, and myself have conducted independent credibility checks on the low bidder, Roofing Service Company. The checks first indicated substantial credibility questions which have been cleared up. The questions that came up were the result of two roofing contractors with the same name. Once the distinction was made, the contractor who bid on the City project was determined to be competent and a credible company. Based on the low bid and the acceptable credibility of the Roofing Service Company of Fort Collins, I would recommend that the City Council award the roofing and waterproofing contract to the Roofing Service Company for $31,776.00." *************************** Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to award the roofing and waterproofing contract to the Roofing Service Company for $31,776.00.

We feel, given the existing relationship between the City and the archi- tects, no benefits would be obtained by proceeding in accordance with their proposal, notwithstanding the reasons attributed to causing this poor working relationship. We understand that representatives from EDAW will be present on October 11 and wish to discuss the situation directly with the Council. 196 October 11, 1977 Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council consider the architects' proposal and any further recommendations made by City staff at the time of discussion.
