Presented by Gary Schnakenberg.
Director Walker questioned Gary
Schnakenberg regarding the District's
bid process for this work and other
work of this nature.
UPPER TRUCKEE RIVER TRUNK SEWER
MANHOLE STABILIZATION
Doug Thomas questioned whether the
Thomas Haen Co. had cleared up the
matter of submitting certified pay-
roll information for the past work
and if he was considered a respon-
sive, responsible bidder at this
time.
Director Olson stated it was his
understanding each bid was a separate
matter and if the Haen Co. was respon-
sive and he was the low bidder, he was
entitled to the award of the Bid for
this work. Director Olson asked staff,
for the record, if the old matter had
been cleared up.
Manager Corer said Thomas Haen had
submitted signed, certified payroll
forms for the work in question.
Director Walker questioned whether
submitting certified payrolls actually
certified the prevailing wage had been
paid, and read an excerpt from a Thomas
Haen letter which addressed this
subject.
Gary Schnakenberg answered questions
from Director Walker regarding bid
lists/procedures.
Director Olson stated this subject
(the curbs & gutters job) was a
separate item than the one on the
agenda and he did not intend to take
it up at this meeting; it could be
taken up with District staff and
attorney to find out about it. The
item before the Board was to award
a totally separate bid item.
Attorney Weidman interjected saying,
the point raised is: Is Thomas
Haen a responsive, responsible
bidder because of a question about
a past contract?

discussed this matter (past
contract) with the Haen bookeeper
and she advised him the prevailing
wage rates had been paid and she
had kept the records.
