OLD BUSINESS 1. Reports on Bids a. Prince Willows Sewer The Supervisor, after referral to the report submitted by the Town Attorney, a copy of which had been furnished to each member of the Board for his study, and which was herewith received and filed as part of the record of this meeting, inquired the Board ' s pleasure in the matter of exercising its right to reject all bids and readvertise therefor in accordance with specifications to be revised by the Engineer pursuant to the Attorney ' s report. Councilman Chalif asked whether the reasons for such rejection should not be given at this time - whereupon the Attorney stated that the specifications were de- ficient and ambigious as more particularly set forth in his report. Upon question by Mr. Harry Ekizian of 8 Prince Willows Lane as to in what way the specifications were con- sidered deficient, the Supervisor named as one of the items under question the "open-ended" extra charge clauses, and the Attorney observed that there were numerous items as detailed in his report which con- sisted of seven (7) pages and which, since it was on file was available for inspection by any interested party. He therefore suggested that Mr. Ekizian peruse this report at his convenience in order to have his question answered. Mr. Ekizian then addressed the Supervisor, stating that speaking as an engineer he had often found himself in the position of receiving higher bids as a consequence of readvertising - and further remarked -2- . . that if the existence of "open-ended" clauses for extra charges were one of the main items at issue, almost all contracts contained such clauses, pointing for example, to the State Contracts almost all of which contained such clauses. The Attorney, in replying, stated that he was familiar with the type of clause to which Mr. Ekizian was allud- ing, especially as it applied to disputes of the so- called (extras) and that the specifications on which his memorandum was based contained no such clause. After some further discussion of the time factor involved following the Supervisor ' s observation that it was felt readvertising would not occasion any great delay, on a motion by Councilman Nagel and seconded by Councilman Chalif, it was unani- mously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby re- jects all bids for the construction of the Prince Willows Sewer as had been submitted, opened and read aloud at the February 5, 1969 regular meet- ing of this Board, and be it further RESOLVED, that the Clerk be and he --- hereby is authorized and directed to return to all bidders, the bid checks submitted with the said foregoing bids, and be it further RESOLVED, that as required by law, the Town Clerk be and he hereby is authorized to publish in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaroneck, The Daily Times, a Notice for Bids for the construction of the Prince Willows Sewer, said bids to be in accordance with the specifi- cations as revised by the Town Engineer and approved by the Town Attorney prior to publication of the said Notice. Councilman Chalif urged in the interest of time that this project be given top priority which was so directed by the Board. b.
