He asserted that the City can reject all bids, however, the Supreme Court <br />states it should be for compelling reasons. Mr. Goodrich noted the compelling reasons. He <br />stated that the City either needs to accept the lowest responsible bidder or reject all bids and open <br />the process to ail the bidders again. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec noted that the bids were not that close that it would benefit going through the <br />bidding process again. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler asserted that if the bid is awarded, staff will certainly work towards the <br />estimated project amount, noting that it's the consulting architect's opinion that we can achieve <br />that amount. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen and seconded by Councilmember Anderson to adopt <br />Resolution #00-03-065 awarding the General Contractor bid for Fire Station II to Ebert, Inc. in <br />the amount of$1,177,000. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
