Mayor Jackson called the Special Meeting to omdem at 4:32 P.M. and made
the following statement;
'Vor the record~ I would like to explain why I felt this was an emer-
gency and warranted a Special Meeting to get the bid awarded.
Before the bids were opened~ the architect said that it would take seven
months for the fire sub-station to be completed. With the difficulty
in getting building pmojects started~ I felt that if the builder wasntt
selected immediately, they might get started on another job, which would
cause a delay. Also~ building material is becoming harder to get and
we cannot mun the risk of having to wait.
We have a new fire truck ordered and we will need the place to house it.
Also with the possibility that 1-95 construction could start (hopefully)
this winter, we are going to need a lime station as soon as possible to
cover the western part of our City.'T
Mr. Kohl read the following bids:
Mays g Robinson
McLaren Constmuction Co.
Romano Constmuction Co.
Lee A. Walker Co.
$147,799.00
157,149.00
174,361.20
145,000.00
and recommended that the award be made to Lee A. Walker Co.~ Boca Raton~
low bidder.
The Mayor stated that invitations to bid on this project were mailed out
