Keith Johnson, asst. city engineer, reported they had requested bids for 16" valves for rehab. of lift station at Simplot; and that problem is that bid from Fargo Water Equipment was mailed by them on the 15th and didn't arrive at city auditor's office until a.m. of 17th, and deadline for bids was 2:00 p.m. on June 16. Moved by Glassheim and Beyer to waive minor irregularity and to open bid. A rep. of Northern Waterworks was present, and disagreed if bidding system allowed for late bids. After further discussion Glassheim and Beyer withdrew their motion.
