Mr. Allan Kraft, of the Kraft Furniture Company, of

i "
E
lot of furniture, who had been present since the beginning of the meeting, made a proposal that in

i-
order to have all the supplying and work of installation done by the same people, rather than two or
}t
i"t f
more contractors, and thus avoid conflicts in deliveries and times of completion, his company would
supply and install all curtains and carpets and rugs fbr the amounts of the lowest bide respectively
x,:
for these items. Mr. Pena stated this would be a great convenience to all parties, but he felt that
}
the bids should be considered as submitted, although he conceded the Courtls right to reject any or
• vJ
+
all bids or to accept any bid or bids found to be most advantageous to the County. Strictly as the
'
Y
basis of this being most advantageous to the County in that it would avoid possible conflicts in
4
deliveries, working, and installation, the Court exercised its option to accept this proposal and

fw
voted to place all of the work in the hands of one contractor.
Whereupon, an motion dully seconded and unanimously adopted, the Court voted to place contract
