We have, additionally, discussed Mr. Wagoner's <br />letter with Ronald A. Christenson, the construction manager. <br />As you are aware, the base bid of Langford Electric of <br />$263,610.00 was lower than that of Ridgedale by approximately <br />$5,000.00. When alternates E-6 (Whirlpool Connections) and E-8 <br />(Relocate Electrical Service) were taken into account, however, <br />Ridgedale's bid of $259,025.00 became the lower of the two bv <br />approximately $3,000.00. <br />It becomes apparent that with a difference between the base <br />bids of only two percent and in view of the fact that the <br />alternates reduced that difference to an even smaller percentage <br />Mr. Christenson was attempting, although without authorisation <br />by the School Board, to determine if there were circumstances <br />under which the difference could be reduced even further.
