Manager Will Get Bid Opening Job
The city moves toward a change in bid opening for 1911 Improvement Act projects to save council time. The council asked the city attorney to draft an ordinance letting the city manager open bids instead of the city board. The ordinance would apply the new state law effective Sept 22, shifting bid opening from the council to another body. The law, sponsored by the city and introduced by local Assemblymen, targets the large number of jobs here and aims to cut Tuesday bid-opening time from the city board by 15 to 20 minutes.
