Mr. Waldron presented the bids on the Borough building residing. Unlimited
Construction Company of Anchorage was the apparent low bidder. The bid
also included alternate number one for removal of the soffit lights.

the qualifications for the bidder. He further recommended the replacement

problems in the building. After further discussion, Bill Beaty moved to
award the contract to the apparent low bidder subject to meeting qualifications.
Mr. Bors seconded the motion which was unanimously approved. Mr. Beaty
then moved to replace the ten windows at an estimated cost of $10,000.
Motion seconded by Art Bors and unanimously approved.
The ARB then discussed the hospital repair project and expressed concern
about the bid by Unlimited Construction being so much under the engineer's
estimate. After further discussion, Bill Beaty moved to award the bid
to the low qualified bidder, if found to be responsible. Motion seconded
by Ron Chase and unanimously approved.
Discussion then centered around the modular building for the hospital and
included extensive discussion as to why this concept had not been reviewed
by the ARB prior to going out for Request for Proposals. Mr. Beaty moved
to recommend opposition to the modular construction and recommend explor-
ation of other solutions. Motion seconded by Scott Arndt and unanimously
approved.
Mr. Waldron then presented the Karluk bulk fuel truck bids in that
there was no other board to review such purchases. He noted that the
Karluk IRA Council had recommended the Alaska Truck Center proposal for

the lowest bid. After some discussion, Bill Beaty moved to recommend the award of
the truck bid to Alaska Truck Center in an amount not to exceed $45,524.69.
Motion seconded by Scott Arndt and unanimously approved.
Dave Waldron presented the proposal to build the ;'uel dikes at Larsen Bay

Discussion then centered around the A&E proposal for the emergency generator
system at the hospital. Mr. Shealy explained that the concept envisioned by
the Assembly was much more extensive than what staff had advertised and recom-
mend rejecting the proposal and readvertisi.ng. The Architectural Review
Board agreed that the proposal would be revised and considered at a later
date.
Mr. Waldron then presented proposals for an A&E contract to solve the
High School ventilation problems in the lobby and balcony by Fryer -Pressley

discussion Bill Beaty moved to award the project to Fryer -Pressley in an
amount not to exceed $10,000. Motion seconded by Scott Arndt and unanimously
approved.
Mr. Waldron then discussed the R&B claim as part of the Main Elementary School
and requested a budget amendment of $30,000 to hire personnel as part of the
defense. Mr. Coleman pointed out that this was a budget matter and Mr. Waldron
agreed that this was presented as informational material and no action was
taken.
