Herb Ketcham and Chuck Liddy 0 the Architectural Alliance
indicated they had met with the two low bidders on December
17, 1976 to review the project and to determine expected cost
savings on additional alternates. The low bid of $419,992
by Peterson Construction of B 'ffalo was approximately $90,000
over the estimated cost of th project.
Mr. Ketcham and Mr. Liddy rev.ewed their findings with the
council. By computing the al ernate deducts in with the
base bid that the council fel could possibly be accepted,
$27,060 could be saved. Addi ional alternate deducts that
were not bid, but the council felt could possibly be accepted
amounted to $25,700 excluding consideration of eliminating
the basement. This would bri the bid down to $367,232.
