He stated further that since the bid had been declared before the fact that a bond accompanied same instead of a check or cash deposit had been discovered, that any bids falling in the same category should be treated in like manner, but that the engineers to whom the bids undoubtedly would be referred for checking, should take such matters into account when making their report, as the City Attorney is of the opinion that such bids might be irregular, as not complying with the requirements of the published notice to bidders or the specifications in that regard. The City Attorney also stated that if the Council felt that the irregularity should be waived, that in his opinion a new notice should be published and new bids should be asked for, as parties making inquiry with reference to that particular clause in the notice and specifications had been advised that they would have to conform to the requirements of the published notice, and it would, therefore, be unfair to such inquirers if the Council should subsequently waive the requirements which might have caused some of them to refrain from bidding.
