adoption:
RESOLUTION NO.-76-105
RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 76 -56 AUTHORIZING
PURCHASE OF 185 STORM WINDOWS FOR THE CIVIC CENTER
WHEREAS, on April 5, 1976, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
76 -56 approving a contract for the purchase of 185 storm windows for the Civic
Center in the amount of $2,493 from DeVac, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, on July 7, 1976, the Controller of DeVac, Inc. informed the
City Clerk that there had been a major mistake in the Company's quotation to
the effect that the quoted unit price of $13.48 per window unit is less than the
wholesale price of the product; and
WHEREAS, DeVac, Inc. has consequently declined to execute the contract
for $2,493, but instead has offered to furnish the windows at its cost amounting
to $3,124.65; and
WHEREAS, said amount of $3,124.65 is less than other quotations
originally received; and
WHEREAS, legal review indicates that it is questionable whether DeVac
could be legally compelled to execute and perform the original contract proposal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota finds that a mistake occurred in the quotation of
DeVac, Inc. to furnish 185 storm windows for the amount of $2,493 and that to
attempt to compel performance on such quotation would be unproductive.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager be authorized to contract
for the purchase of 185 storm windows in the amount of $3,124.65 from DeVac, Inc.
