RESOLUTION NO. 4690
RESOLUTION AFFIRMING AWARD OF CONTRACT
TO NORTHERN CONTRACTING INC., ON PROJECTS
72-13 AND 72-20
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park:
1. Suit has been filed against the City by Metro Contracting,
Inc., seeking to bar the City from proceeding to execute a
construction contract on projects 72-13 and 72-20 with Northern
Contracting, Inc. which was awarded the contract by the City
Council on November 6, 1972. Metro Contracting, Inc., alleges
that it was a qualified bidder on these projects.
2. The awarding of this contract to Northern Contracting,
Inc. was based upon the recommendation of staff personnel and
upon the judgment of the Council that the awarding of the contract
to Metro Contracting, Inc., would jeopardize the timely and proper
performance of the contract. Because of the greater supervision
and inspection costs thus made necessary, such an award would have
a greater total cost to the City, in the range of $3,000.00.
3. The City Council having reconsidered this matter and
having reviewed the factors influencing its prior action, reaffirms
its action awarding this contract to Northern Contracting, Inc.
The city attorneys are authorized and directed to take all action
necessary to defend this suit and to maintain the decision of the
City Council in the award of this contract.
