Discussion followed as to whether or not bidding was necessary in view of the fact that a recent bid was received for construction of a one million gallon reservoir at Well No. 7, and whether the Board could negotiate with the successful bidder for construction of an additional tank. Attorney Hofert advised that because of the large amount of money involved that bidding would be preferable and that a bid notice could be given to the successful bidder on the Well No. 7 reservoir and suggest that he may be able to give the Village a better bid since he could be doing the two projects simultaneously.
