TEST WELL BOP~NG QUOTES: Mr. Dougherty stated that at the November 28, 1978
Board of Works meeting, after properly advertising for bids for the borings and
obtaining none, City Attorney had advised we could go to the open market for
quotes. Layne-Northern quoted $8,656.00 and Peerless-Midwest quoted $6,235.00.
A contract had been put together for Peerless-Midwest so the City could
officially accept their quote. Representatives from Layne-Northern were informed
of the Peerless quote ~nd notified the Utilities Manager that their quote could
be revised to $5,280.00 to correct inadequacies due to personnel problems of
the original bid. This base quote represented $16 foot includim~ the formation
analysis. A discussion was held regardi~ the fairness of letting L~yne-Northern
lower their original quote after being informed of the Peerless quote.
Mr. Dougherty telephoned Mr. Bob Williams of Peerless-Midwest and informed
him of the lower Layne-Northern quote but was informed they could not lower
their quote. Mr. Hohl moved to accept the Layne-Northern quotation and advised
them to begin as soon as possible-no later than two weeks from this date,
Mayor Pickett seconded it and it passed unanimously. Mr. Nohl then moved we
direct a letter to Peerless-Midwest thanking them for their quotation, their
concern and we look forward to them bidding on future projects% Mayor Pickett
