March 29, 2017
We are here today presenting the Rotary Club of Cheat Lake's Flags for Heroes fundraiser. We
would like to display the three feet by five feet American flags on ten foot poles along two major
entrances to our city: Don Knotts Boulevard along the median from the BFS convenience store to the
Waterfront Place Hotel and also in multiple rows in front of the Creative Arts Center along Monongalia
Boulevard. We will display the flags that we will sell to the community honoring heroes from Memorial
Day to Flag Day.
In order to proceed with this fundraiser we are asking for help in receiving permission to drill
one foot by one inch diameter pilot holes every ten feet to hold a receiver that will in turn hold the flags
on display. We would like to start with two hundred flags which will require two hundred pilot holes.
Each receiver comes with a cap that we will insert after the flags are removed in order to reuse them in
years to come. Our hopes would be that this fundraiser will grow in coming years and we can expand to
other areas of the city and include the other Rotary Clubs with many more flags.
We hope that you will consider this request and help us get permission to be able to place the
flag receivers prior to Memorial Day.
Thank you,
~

A Statement on Morgantown's Need for a Resolution
Supporting the Rights of Immigrants, Refugees and Asylees
David W. Saville, Commissioner
City of Morgantown Human Rights Commission
Bishop Desmond Tutu once said, "If you are neutral in situations of
injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."
All across our country there are people, communities, cities, even
members of Congress and the President, who are singling out people
because of their nationality or religion. They seek to take away their
rights.
This resolution is one way, among many, that Morgantown can take
the side of Justice, and live up to the principles our nation was
founded upon. It is one way Morgantown can speak UPI and break
the silence. It is one way Morgantown, and our richly diverse
community, can be a protagonist in struggle for the rights of
minorities and the oppressed. It is one way that Morgantown can live
up to its billing as a Welcoming Community.
Being responsible citizens, and a responsible community, in a
Democracy, demands that we speak up in the face of injustice.
Dr. Martin luther King said, "In the end, we will remember not the
words of our enemies, rather the silence of or friends." We Resolve ...

Re: Award of2017 Paving Project (Bid Call No. 2017-07, 2017-08, and 2017-22)
Mr. Brake,
Bids were opened on April 4th for the above mentioned projects. The results are as follows;
1. 2017 Street Paving Project - Hot Laid Bituminous Asphaltic Cement (Bid Call No. 2017-07)
Contractor Cost
Greer Asphalt Co. $910,411.70
Stone Paving $1,195,904.40
Engineering has reviewed the submitted bids for completeness and adherence to the Bid Call
requirements and recommends award to Greer Asphalt Co.
2. 2017 Street Paving Project - South Side (Bid Call No. 2017-08)
Contractor Cost
Anderson Excavating, LLC $488,316.07
Parrotta Paving Co., Inc. $749,892.82
Mountaineer Contractors, Inc. $793,760.41
Bear Contracting $821,023.52
Stone Paving $953,607.66
21
Engineering has reviewed the submitted bid for completeness and adherence to the Bid Call
requirements. After reviewing the low bid by Anderson Excavating, LLC, it appears that an error
was made in calculating their bid by inclusion of a values that are below the reasonable actual cost of
the work, and that error materially affected the bid by decreasing the bid price below an amount
which would reasonably be expended to complete the work. Engineering has determined that
rejecting this bid will not cause hardship to the City other than the potential loss of opportunity to
obtain the project work at a reduced cost, because rejection of the bid will allow the paving to
progress in the scheduled manner. Enforcement ofthe submitted bid would be unconscionable
because our review of the bid and discussion with the contractor indicate that the project cannot be
performed for the cost stated, and the likely result of accepting the bid would be substantial financial
harm to the company and/or the receipt of a substandard product by the City and the public.
Engineering recommends rejecting the submitted low bid from Anderson Excavating, LLC.
Pursuant to the bid call provisions and W. Va. Code § 5-22-2(b), the City may reject a bid when
the following conditions are met:
(1) An error was made; (2) the error materially affected the bid; (3) rejection of the bid would not
cause a hardship on the public entity involved, other than losing an opportunity to receive
construction projects at a reduced cost; and (4) enforcement of the bid in error would be
unconscionable.
Engineering recommends award of the contract to the next low bidder Parrotta Paving Co., Inc.
3. 2017 Street Paving Project - North Side (Bid Call No. 2017-22)
Contractor Cost
Anderson Excavating, LLC $342,418.83
Parrotta Paving Co., Inc. $458,356.32
Mountaineer Contractors, Inc. $544,168.04
Bear Contracting $591,541.23
Dodd General Contractors $707,439.74
Stone Paving $747,64l.76
Engineering has reviewed the submitted bid for completeness and adherence to the Bid Call
requirement and recommends award to Anderson Excavating, LLC.
The total cost of the combined Paving Project Bids are $2,002,723.35. This is within the anticipated
budget for these projects.
