Res 01-73 RESOLUTION NO. 1-73.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING NEGOTIATION
OF A CITY CONTRACT FOR PROVIDING THREE NEW WATER
SUPPLY WELLS.
WHEREAS, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that
the Council, acting by authority of provisions of Section 78 of
the City's Charter, authorize the proper City officials to contract
for the construction of three new water supply wells, at unit
prices not to exceed those quoted by the most recent successful
low bidder; and
WHEREAS, an examination of the City's Consulting Engineers
of recently bid unit prices for this type of work indicated that a
considerable financial savings can be effected by the City through
such negotiated prices; and
WHEREAS, the most recent low bidder has expressed his will-
ingness to extend said unit prices for providing the required
three new wells and to negotiate any unit prices required in the
proposed new contract which were not covered in the previous low
bid; and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that time is of the essence in
providing additional water supply wells, and that considerable time
would be saved in the proposed negotiated contract, as compared to
the usual procedure of advertising for and accepting bids from
various contractors; and
WHEREAS, payment for such contract is to be made from funds
provided in the current budget; and
WHEREAS, it is the Council's opinion that such action would
be in the best interests of the City,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF DELRA¥ BEACH, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
That an authorization is hereby granted to the proper City
officials to enter into a negotiated contract with the most recent
successful low bidder for the construction of three new water
supply wells at unit prices not to exceed those effective in said
most recent low bid, except that any required unit prices not
quoted in this low bid may be negotiated directly with the con-
tractor.
PASSED AND ADOPTED in regular session this 8th day of
January, 1973.
