DISCUSSION OF TENNIS COURT BIDS

Mayor Knight called out the bid totals as follows:

Talbot Tennis                 $54,899

A&B Contractors            $55,514

Sims Paving                   $62,500

Mayor Knight advised the council that the only contractor that came out and physically looked at the sight was A & B Contractors.  He said that they included $3000.00 for grading and the engineer said we could take that out.  He stated if we take off the $3000.00 that will make A & B the lowest.  A & B Contractors is the company that installed our speed humps.  He said I imagine they will do the asphalt and contract out the rest.  He said I imagine Talbot Tennis will do the whole thing.  Chad Cook asked if there would be a quality difference.  Mayor Knight stated no there should not be they will be following the same specs.  Brenda Thompson stated that if we will get the same results then I would go with the lowest bid.   James Bratcher stated do we go with 2” of asphalt and deduct $4200.00.  Mayor Knight said the engineer said no.
