of$27,700. The amount budgeted included $15,050 (Doreen), $1,600 (Sal Street), and $16,800

Furthermore, the reference from an actual sidewalk job three years ago for the apparent low bid
was not favorable; their other experience dealt with much larger construction projects. The
apparent second low has no experience listed; they have been in business approximately one
year. All reference checks were positive for the third apparent low bid. For these reasons, the
third apparent low bid is the most responsive.
Action Requested
The Mayor and Board of City Commissioners award Bid B94-004 to Planted Earth Contracting,
Inc. for a total of $27,700.
