Gentlemen:
After you gave.us instructions to enter into contract with
• Stocke and Olson for construction of a grandstand at Mayo Field: at
a cost of $76,020.00, we drew up such a contract. However, in the
meantime Stocke. and Olson °had been advised by 'its attorney snot to
sign a contract because in his.opinion we had.not conformed with
Charter provisions by not readvertising for bids on the basis of
the supplementary.proposal.
Consequently, we readvertised and set the date -for opening
bids at eight otclock this morning. At that time two proposals
were received. The Stocke and Olson proposal was the same as
their previous proposal. Alvin E. Benike entered a proposal to
do the work for $68,900.00.
We accepted the low bid, subject to your permission to enter
into contract;- May we please have that permission as.soon as-'
possible so that we shall not lose the benefit of prices quoted
on steel in the September 22 opening. -
-• Respectfully submitted,
r
WM. C. SCHACHT, Secretary.
