The Council of Bal Harbour Village met in special session on Thursday,

contract with Standard Dredging Corporation.
Present: Messrs. Beatty, Printup, Scott and Taplin
Absent: Mr. Brush
Also present were Fred W. Maley, Village Manager; Mary T. Wettersr,Village
Clerk; and Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney,
Mr. Maley said that he met with Mr. Anderson early this week to discuss
the status of the contract. Mr. Anderson told the Council that the Standard
Dredging Corporation had advised through their attorney, that they were withdraw-
ing their bid, based upon the extended time allowed Hardaway Contracting Company
for the jetty construction, sid their claim that their contract was not in ac-
cordance with their bid.
Mr. von Oesen then reviewed for the Council the history of the project
and the various bide submitted, pointing out that all bids on the jetty contained
exceptions to the specified construction time. He noted that the U.S.Army Corps
of Engineers, the State of Florida and Dade County, have all concurred in the
award of the contracts to the low bidders, including the extension of time to
Hardaway. He said he had talked to Mr. Connell of Hardaway to see if they could
reduce the time they were granted but without success. Mr. von Oesen stated
that he and Mr. Maley had met with Standard Dredging Corporation trying to work
out some adjustment in the emttract to compensate for the extra time allowed the
jetty contractor. He asked that the Council let him again contact Standard
Dredging Corporation, asking them to sign the contract exactly as bid and informed
them that if they will not, we will call their bid bond and inform the bonding
company of this action. Mr. Anderson also suggested that Mr. Maley, Mr. von
Oesen and Mr. Whittaker see if they could meet with the representatives from
