CC-C ACCEPTANCE OF BIDS AND AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR STREET
AND STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS IN OLNEY STREET, RALPH
STREET AND HART AVENUE
Mayor Pro Tem Bruesch requested clarification on the Dunn and Bradstreet rating for
Mike Prlich & Sons, which states that that business discontinued operations in 1999.

Sons sole proprietorship ceased to exist and it became a corporation. That necessitates a change
in the licensing whereby the corporation obtains the contractor's license.
MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM BRUESCH, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN
TAYLOR that the Council accept the bids and award the project to Mike Prlich and Sons Inc., in
the amount of $464,580.00; waive the irregularities in the bids by Los Angeles Engineering, Inc.,
