The City Commission of the City of Dania, Florida met in Special Session in the Commission Room at the City Hall. PRESENT WERE: MAYOR COMMISSIONER FRANK E. EBY COMMISSIONERS E. B. ELKINS ROBERT E. HOUSTON JAMES J. MCMILLAN E. S. TUBBS, JR. ' CITY ATTORNEY CLARKE WALDEN CITY MANAGER LOUIS MALLEY CITY CLERK MARY THORNHILL Meeting called to order at 12:00 o'clock noon by Mayor Eby. Mayor Eby stated that the purpose of the meeting was to award the contract for the construction of an adult recreation build- ing, dance floor and rest rooms, and asked for a recommendation from the Architect, Victor A. Larson. Mr. Larson stated that he had talked to B & C Construction Company about using Dania sub-contractors. They stated they would be glad to .use Dania contractors, but due to the fact that the Dania plumber that bid on the fob was $500 higher, and the roofing contractor was $100 higher. That if he adhered to his bid price he would have to use Hollywood contractors. The lumber price was about the same in both cities. There is a difference of $1,168 1n the low bidder and the next bid. Mr. Childs had bids from all Dania sub-contractors. So far as the job being difficult, it is not, it is up to the commissioners what they want to do. Commissioner McMillan stated that as far as he could find out there was nothing wrong with the work done by B & C Construct- ion Company, that they had done some work on the hospital and it had been very satisfactory. That he thought it would be well if they could give the local sub-contractors some con- sideration. Commissioner Houston stated that he felt we have nothing to prove to us this man cannot do a good fob. The Architect has checked him carefully, and he is qualified to do the Job. I know it is a general practice when a contractor is awarded a job they shop around for their sub-contractors. I would like to see him contact Apex Roofing Company again and see what he can work out with them. It may be they can get a competitive from them. I would not like to go on record saying we will only use Dania sub-contractors. •I see no reason why we could not give this man the contract. Mr. Larson stated that he had found that quite a few of the General Contractors are not able to get sub-contractors in Dania. Mr. Bibbo advised me that he contacted one electrical contractor in Dania to give him a bid, and he ,xas told he could not give him a figure as he did not do business with him. That he would recommend the low bidder, B & C Construction Company, being awarded the contract. A motion was made by Commissioner Tubbs to accept the recom- mendation of the Architect and award the contract for the con- struction of an adult recreation building, dance floor and restroom to the low bidder, B & C Construction Company, con- tract being in the amount of $24060.00; motion seconded by Commissioner McMillan, and the toll being called, the: follow- ing commissioners voted: Elkins Yes Houston Yes McMillan Yes Tubbs Yes Eby Yes -2- Commissioner McMillan asked City Manager Malley to contact Mr. W. B. Heidt at the Dania Methodist Church about taking chairs to the beach for Easter Sunrise Service. There being no further business, on motion and vote, the meet- ing adjourned.
