Regular City Council Meeting <br />June 16, 2003 <br />Page 26 <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2003-109, awarding the bid for construction of a restroom, <br />restroom/concession building, gateway building, and entry sign (masonry, <br />building, plumbing, electrical, and roofing) as part of the overall completion of <br />Phase I of the Paris Sports Complex project to the GEAUX Corporation of <br />Tyler, Texas, in the amount of $211,358.00, was presented. <br /> <br />Terry Townsend, Director of Public Works, came forward advising the City <br />Council that this is the third time this has been put out for bids. He said the first <br />time no bids were received for Contract 5; the second time two bids were <br />received and rejected due to the high cost; and the third time the total bid <br />dropped $133,554.00, which does fall with in their project scope. In this case <br />they actually made some of the issues to make sure they could fall within their <br />scope as added alternatives and the entire thing still came in under their budget. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Councilman Bell, seconded by Councilman Weekly, for <br />approval of the resolution. The motion carried 7 ayes, 0 nays. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley announced that the next item on the agenda, awarding the bid <br />and authorizing the execution of a contract for the furnishing and delivery of <br />labor, materials, and equipment and for performing all work required for <br />grounds maintenance (mowing) on City of Paris parks and facilities, had been <br />tabled and a motion was needed to bring this item from the table. A motion was <br />made by Mayor Pro Tem McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Weekly, to bring <br />the this item from the table. The motion carried 7 ayes, 0 nays. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley said that the two bidders for this service, Mr. Good and Mr. <br />Glover, were both present and he asked Mr. Townsend to address this matter. <br /> <br />Mr. Townsend advised that at the last meeting, it was asked that this item be <br />tabled based on the fact that the low bidder was not present and they did not <br />have any direct information from him. Mr. Townsend said he did ask him to <br />attend with his information. <br /> <br />Jackie Good with Good Tree Service was present to talk about his bid. Mr. <br /> <br /> <br />
