County Hospital Bid Scrutiny Delays Construction Decision
District Attorney James E. Busch and the board of supervisors postponed action on the county hospital contract after finding Utah Construction Company's base bid of 846 955 ineligible for missing sub contractor list. The second bid from E. J. Freethy of El Cerrito at 857 672 faces possible acceptance if Utah withdraws or all bids are rejected and reissued. A San Francisco conference today with board chairman E. Safford will set the course, with Monday’s vote to resolve. The 83-bed facility includes a tuberculosis wing and general hospital and total project cost is in the million-dollar range with 16 alternates adding about 50 000.
