Presented by Attorney Weidman who
stated he had talked with Director

7/7/88) and it had been his (Jones)
intention to include the adopting of
the Findings as a part of his original
motion approving Alta Pacific Con-
structors as the lowest, responsive,
responsible bidder, but the minutes
and the transcripts did not reflect that.
Attorney Bader representing Ford Con-
struction, requested to be heard on the
subject. He discussed the reasons why
he felt the Board had made their de-
cision to award to Alta Pacific.

Director Walker questioned Attorney
Weidman about the District being put
into a compromising position if we
were likely to have to pay for the
whole project and what would be the
responsibilities taken on by the
District.
Attorney Weidman said it was his
understanding if the Board awarded
to Ford, we would get no funding
for the project. And stated that
whether or not we agreed with Clean
Water Grant Bulletin l13B, it was
approved to be put in the Specs and
that decision was made when the Board
adopted Resolution No. 2460 and ap-
proved the Plans & Specs. He stated,
further, that on the request of the
SWRCB he sent them his preliminary
opinion based on the two bid protests.
He advised the Board if they felt his
findings were the appropriate findings,
in Exhibit 36, then they should adopt
Resolution No. 2469; if they feel they
Mere not the appropriate findings, then
they should consider other findings.
Director Walker stated he would like
to send a strong message to EPA
protesting the need for the term
"responsive" bidder taking pres-
idence over "low" and "responsible"
when the Board was considering who
to award a bid to.
Attorney Bader representing Ford
Construction stated he felt his
findings were more accurate than
those presented in Resolution No.
2469.
Moved Olson/Second Jones to Adopt
Resolution No. 2469 Adopting Findings
and Determination Decision re EPA

Retention Basin Sealing Project.
