Commissioner O'Connor questioned informal quotations. Mr. Boganey discussed that be believes
there were no set specifications, mailings, public notice in the newspaper, or notifications to
potential firms and that staff contacted the firms that the City is familiar with and do this type of
business and asked them to submit a proposal for this work. She questioned why the quotes were so
different. Mr. Boganey discussed it is his belief that when other firms find out that Legend Technical
Services is providing a bid, many others do not try to compete. It seems that Legend Technical
Services is extremely efficient. She inquired if the price to Legend Technical Services would be
$11,000. Mr. Boganey responded that is a not to exceed amount. She inquired about the extra
services payment section in the contract and questioned what those services would be. Mr. Boganey
responded that it would be something that was not anticipated and if some work was required that
was not anticipated in the proposal that is how the work would be covered.
