Nays: Clowes, Corcoran
Trustee Floros, seconded by Trustee Busse, moved RJN Environmental
to grant the contract to R.J.N. Environmental Consultants
Consultants for a cost not to exceed $31,954.
Trustee Corcoran indicated a concern over setting
precedent for future bids for projects and further
indicated that the low bidder is responsible and
one that we have trusted in the past with major
programs in the Village.
Mayor Farley indicated that there was a difference
in hours to be worked, approximately 80 hours between
the two bids, and felt that because of this, he was
comfortable with the RJN bid. The difference of
$2,200 would guarantee the work being done.
Trustee Floros indicated that acceptance of bids
other than the low bid was an acceptable practice
and that future bids would not be a sham. This
does not tell RJN that they have a blank check. It
would be anticipated that there would be other
bidders in the future.
rustee Clowes recommended that we accept the bid
of the low bidder, Donohue and Associates.
Trustee Wilks indicated that RJN has spent extensive
extra hours on projects in the past with no additional
fees or expenditures requested from the Village and
that Donohue has charged for-extra work in the past and
because of this, she recommended the RJN bid.
