Through a misunderstanding with the bonding company, a Bid Bond in the amount of 5%
was submitted, instead of the requested 10% of the bid price. The Council, however,
did not foresee any problem in this error.
Following discussion, Alderman Peterson moved to refer the bid to Police Chief O'Borsky
and staff for review and recommendation. Seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, the motion
unanimously carried.
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned
at 12:15 P.M.
