Mr. Kohalmi
Sure, sure, late 1800’s, yeah.
Alderman Klee
Thank you. When | was looking at the bids | noticed that from the lowest to the highest we were looking at
about $100,000.00 difference. What would be that significant that they would literally almost double?
Mr. Kohalmi
| think there are contractors who are really hungry for work and other contractors have plenty of work. So
some contractors will really sharpen their pencil and put in the lowest bid they can and other ones will just
throw a number out and say, “If we win great: if you don’t, no harm no foul’.
Alderman Klee
So just a quick follow up; so there is nothing more that one was really was going to give us over the other then,
we are really looking for just a straight on video.
Mr. Kohalmi
It is pretty simple, yeah.
Alderman Klee
OK, thank you very much.
Alderman Caron
When is this going to start, before the snow flies?
Mr. Kohalmi
This is going to start very soon, probably 2 to 3, maybe 4 weeks.
Alderman Caron
Thank you.
