WHEREAS, the bids were received on August 20, 2004 for Cecil A. Malone Drive
Pedestrian bridge over the flood control channel, and
WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the bids and found that the low bidder does not meet
specifications, therefore does not qualify; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works hereby awards the bid for the Cecil A.
Malone Drive Pedestrian bridge over the flood control channel to Steadfast Bridge Co.,
4021 Gault Avenue S, Ft. Payne, Alabama 35967, for their bid of $83,526.00 that meets
specification, and be it further
RESOLVED, That the board authorizes the Superintendent of Public Works to enter into
an agreement with Steadfast Bridge Co. with the usual terms and conditions.
Discussion followed concerning the low bidder not meeting specifications. Supt. Gray
explained that the low bidder is required to be AISC Major Steel Bridge Certified and
they are not. Comm. Romanoff questioned if in the future the vehicular bridge is
