Tendering Mix-Up Bemuses Council
Nick Zeller of Zeller Construction appealed a finance committee decision that voided his tender for the city's 1962 gravel crushing contract due to a missing certified cheque. His $26 750 bid was lowest of six, but the committee favored Paul Juhns's $28 625 compliant bid. The council unanimously overturned the tentative ruling, while debating a late tender for a truck and hearing that parks committee previously faced a similar issue with a 12 noon deadline and a late submission.
