Councilmember Cox stated that two potential bidders have indicated to him <br />that the bid proposals are too complex and will result in the bids being <br />too high for the city to consider. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that there was a very productive pre-bid conference held <br />on March 8 regarding the park maintenance specs and most present agreed <br />that a great deal of detail is needed in the specs in order to address the <br />many kinds of parks in Ramsey.
