Would Accept lob at Estimate of Next lilghest Bidder Contractor Daniel F. Tourney. of Norwalk, who was recently awarded the contract for the paving on the new Washington street bridge as the lowest responsible bidder, stated to a Sentinel reporter this morning that lbecause of the fact that it maybe sev. eral years before his portion of the work can be done with a possibility of a great increase in materials before that time, he will not accept the con- tract, at the figure it was awarded to him. He stated that if the Bridge Construction Committee wishes to award the contract to hint at the price of the next highest bidder, lie will run his chances and accept. What action the bridge committee will take is not known, but as a regular meet- ing is scheduled for Friday evening it is probable that the question will be decided at that time. it will be remembered that Contrac- tor Tia-9y bid. $11,090 on the paving work, not hinting that he would not accept. the contract for this portion without an award of One of the other sections. McHarg. Barton & Com. pany, however, gave two bids. if with Section 1 they agreed to do the work for $15,790, but if alone they would hsk 318,540.75. Connors , Byothers' Company bid $17,100 but stated that this portion of the contract Would not be accepted unless with either Section 1 or 2. Contractor Toomy said this morning that it was his intention to convey the idea that he was bidding on Sec» tion 3, the paving, in connectioa with Section 1, as the other time specified. and that it would be a losing proposi- tion to accept the paving work at the price be bid. "1 would accept the con tract at the price of the next highest bidder if the bridge committee wishes to keep the work in town" said Mr. Toomey this morning, "i am not com. polled to accept the contract. and i believe the risk is more than ‘I Would get return for in the and." he contin- nod. “Do you think the bridge will be delayed as long as you suggest?" the contractor was asked. "it may be three or four years," he replied. “rileOl'fl my part of the work (which is practically the final portion or the contract) could be done. 1 fit:- ured Section 3 with Section 1, and not on Section 1 alone. The price at materinlg may be way up in the air by the time my work lg ready, and i stand to lose out on my bid as it stands separately." it may be, and it is ”tough quite probable, that the bridge committee will wish to keep this portion of the work in town. it such is the case, Contractor Toomoy may secure the award at the figure of the next hisuolt bidder. which he said will be escape able to him. Otherwise, the only local- bidder, will be left out of the work and all will be done by out of town concerns. a W «NOTlCS. Mrs. A. M.
