NEW BUSINESS:
Comm. Banfield mentioned that when the Board was discussing the deal
on the pickup truck he believed that they had overlooked an item
that the Board wanted to include in future bidding, that being to
change the form of the bids and also to propose that the City Attorney
draft some form of resolution or contract that includes a clause
stating that all bidders be required, at the time of the bid, to
deposit an amount of money in an amount equal to the difference between
the lowest bid and the next highest bidder until delivery of such
bidded item, and also that the bidder agree to signing such contract
on submission of his bid. Cou►ut. Banfield realized that a dollar
amount could not be put into the contract until after the bid open-
ing, butfelt that it would work. Supt. Dingman and other members of
the Board felt that adding such a clause to bid forms would be detri-
mental to the City because bidders would not be likely to take such
a gamble. Supt. Dingman also mentioned that the pickup truck bid
incident was not an ordinary thing; that bids are normally carried
through. It was mentioned that the percentages that the Board is
talking about and the failures in the past have been minimal.

There was no second to Banfield's motion. No action taken.
