Mr. Gilley advised the Council Staff recommends the bids be rejected and the City rebid the project with changed specifications that would reduce the project cost. John Anderson, Chairman of the Airport Commission, by letter to the Council dated June 7, 1989, recommended the Council award the bid and seek the additional funds, as it will provide a more suitable, long-lasting structure. Chuck Willis advised the Council there is some risk in rebidding the project and the City not acquiring as many competitive bids, and that there is no assurance the changed specifications will bring forth lower bids. He stated the funding was established two to three years ago and that increases have occurred since that time. He reviewed with Council design changes that might reduce the bids. Billy Moore expressed interest in the City rebidding the project. Katherine Smith advised the Council of some costs involved in rebidding. The Mayor expressed interest in reducing the cost of the project by possibly reducing the square footage, the materials used, or whatever means it would take. Staff was directed to meet with the Airport Commission and Mr. Willis to revise the plans for rebidding within the budget and to possibly bid the project with alternative amenities. Staff was also directed to provide Council with suggestions for funding of additional monies needed in the event the rebidding runs over the avaiìable funds for the project. On roll call to reject the bids, the Council voted as follows: AYE: Moore, Hernandez, Hart, Morris. NAY: Guerra, Plummer. ABSTAIN: None. Mayor Morris introduced for discussion entering into an inter local agreement with the County regarding the use of the County's fuel facilities and the City's purchase of fuel and direction to Staff. Nick Caruso advised the Council the City is expending an additional $3,000 monthly since we are unable to use our tanks, and that it is particularly hurting the Police Department. The County could fuel approximately 123 of our vehicles which use unleaded gas (9,000 gallons monthly).
