Mr. Karp referred to his memo of June 22, 1988 and recommended that
the City Council award the four year contract for 9rading of the Pearwood
Avenue Pond to Guidotti Incorporated in the amount of $65,060.00. He added

be met and which therefore invalidates the bid as a bona fide proposal
in conformance with the specifications.

bid, said he had made the bid to acquire water and sewer services for his
20 lots. He said he would not insist on annexation if he could have those
services.

motion when Mr. Shaw said that the Council has 30 days before it must award
the bid, and recommended that the item be continued for two weeks.

item for two weeks. A Council committee consisting of Council Members
