Read letter from Corcoran & Jennison dated September 10, 1990 to
HMFH (faxed to SM on 9/11/90) asking for a two-week bid extension
for file sub bids and general contractors'. SM called RJ and asked
if any file sub -bidders called and asked for more time. RJ stated
there were none that he knew of. SM then asked RJ to tell Corcoran
& Jennison to continue bidding according to the present schedule.
SM inquired as to how many GC's were bidding as of that date. RJ
stated six. On 9/18/90 SM asked RJ for a list of GC bidders to
update the MBC. This list was faxed to SM on 9/18/90. Prior to this
SM had no knowledge of GC bidders. Corcoran & Jennison did not take
out plans until 9/17/90. Sciaba Construction (SM's employer) took
out plans on 9/18/90.
SM read a letter dated 9/25/90 to HMFH from Corcoran & Jennison
signed by David K. Rosen, President. It stated that they will file
a complaint with the Dept. of Labor & Industries if bid period is
not extended two weeks. They feel that due to the fact that SM works
for Sciaba Construction, Sciaba has an unfair advantage because plans
could have been in Sciaba's hands for many months. SM stated that
he does not estimate for Sciaba. He has been a Project Manager with
them since 8/13/90. SM requested that JM reply to Corcoran & Jennison
based on facts and information presented tonight.
