31 In the absence of the General Manager, Delmar Cox gave the reports on the bids
32 for paving the parking lot and roadway and requested authorization for the
33 General Manager to sign a temporary drainage easement across substation located
34 on U. S. Highway 27 North. Mr. Cox stated two bids were received for the paving
35 (1) Stone Valley for $34,574.89 and (2) Magaw for $50,622.00. The personnel
36 director reviewed the bids and recommends Stone Valley as the lowest and best
37 bid. Council voiced concern over the difference in amount for the storage
38 area, which is subject to heavy equipment and storage of transformers. Mr.
39 Jim Johnson noted the Magaw bid calls for a deeper base for this area. Council
40 requested a re-evaluation with a recommendation to come back in two (2) weeks
41 as to which best fits the needs for RP&L.
