r f; <
SECTION 1. Said Council does hereby find and
determine that Electric and Machinery Service, Inc. submitted
the low bid for said work or improvement for the sum of
$4,844.00 on the basis, however, of completing said work or
improvement within 40 days from the date of contract; and
that the California Electric Construction Company submitted
the next low bid for the sum of $4,850.00, but on the basis
of completing said work or improvement within 21 days from
the date of contract; and that after due consideration the
City Council feels and does hereby find and determine that the
difference of 46.00 in the amount of said bids would not com-
pensate for the 19 days difference in time for completion,
specified in said respective bids; and that it would be to
the interest, benefit and advantage of the City of El Segundo
to have said work completed within the 21 day period above
referred to, rather than the 40 day period above mentioned,
and that the difference of $6.00 in the bid price between said
respective bids would not constitute a sufficient saving to
said city in money to offset or equal such difference in com-
pletion time, and that therefore the bid of said California
Electric Construction Company is the beat bid received for
said work or improvement, all factors considered, in and for
the Interests of said city.
