I would like to call the January 10th
2023 Board Of Control meeting to order
um other than
all right
fabulous yes
yeah this is a
this is the layout that's a little
harder to deal with here
thank you
okay
thank you roll call members uh Mr
Markham here
Mr mcpeek
president and uh our first item of
business series presentation of bids we
have bids on a ductile iron pipe
project and I'm going to pull out the um
engineer's recommendation here so if you
ever recall
we previously had
a uh
a situation where the pipes were like a
a year-long lead on a project and so
instead of waiting for the market we
have gone ahead and we are securing
pipes in advance of a project so that we
will be ready to go that's for The
Grandin Avenue water main improvements
project uh so the engineer's estimate
was 215 000. there were three bids
the lowest bid is core in Maine at two
hundred and seven thousand five fifty
four Ninety Four Cents uh the engineer
feels that that bid is uh meets the
specifications of the um
of the project
and uh it recommends awarding the bid to
Corn main at 207 554. again that is the
lowest priced bid and Engineers opinion
is his lowest and best
do you guys want to look at any closer
at those or
now just I the there those two bits are
pretty close is there any uh do you have
any thoughts about like both those
contractors if there's any
score those equally and yeah
material excuse me
yeah and this is just commodity right
this is foreign
yeah but these are commodity pipes I
mean it's just the same pipe at this
different places so it's literal okay so
it is clearly we're just picking the
best but it's the same product same
widget
just a question okay thank you
so uh with that I would entertain a
motion to
approve the bid to sorry award the bid
to core in Maine
I'll make a motion to uh approve the bid
to core and Main
and I'll second that promotions we made
it a second at any discussion
all in favor say aye aye post same sign
motion carries the bid is awarded is
there any old business he wants to talk
about
how about that Championship last night
well
barf any new business
all right motion to adjourn made by Mr
Markham second by
