WHEREAS, pursuant to an advertisement for bids for Improvement
Project No. 1991 -23, bids were received, opened, and tabulated by the City Clerk
and Engineer, on the 14th day of November, 1991. Said bids were as follows:

$131,086.00
WHEREAS, all bids substantially exceed the City Engineer's estimate
of $43,125; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has recommended that the
Council accept the low bid received because (1) this segment of sewer is in
imminent danger of collapse, and that such a collapse could result in major
damage to private properties and additional costs; and (2) he believes these bids
to be competitive and it is his opinion that the City could not receive lower
bids for this work at this time; and
WHEREAS, it appears that J.P. Norex, Inc. of Chanhassen, Minnesota,
is the lowest responsible bidder.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that:
1. The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized and directed to
enter into a contract, in the amount of $58,371.80, with J.P.
Norex, Inc. of Chanhassen, Minnesota in the name of the City of
Brooklyn Center, for Improvement Project No. 1991 -23 according to
the plans and specifications approved by the City Council and on
file in the office of the Deputy City Clerk.
2. The Deputy City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to return
forthwith to all the bidders the deposits made with their bids,
except that the deposit of the successful bidder and the next
lowest bidder shall be retained until a contract has been signed.
