Mrs. Thurm seconded the motion . Mr. Boucher advised that he had checked on Goodson 's references and that Brevard County was satisfied with their work. Mr. Randels voiced concern in waiving the bid process for such a large item. It was pointed out that the City had secured three proposals and Goodson Paving was the lowest. It was also explained that the City had approximately $45, 000. 00 of gas tax revenue which needed to be expended this year and that there was no possible way the permanent road could be constructed by the end of the fiscal year. It was also noted that the condition of the road, which is used by City employees and private and City- owned vehicles, was in bad need of repair. It was pointed out that these "temporary" repairs would consist of building the road bed where the Tower Boulevard road right- of-way was located. It was further noted that this road bed would be utilized when Tower Boulevard was constructed . Mr. Boucher advised that selecting an engineering firm in accordance with the CCNA, to do the design work, would be a lengthy process . He advised that the quickest way to get the road designed would be to ask the City 's Consulting Engineers to prepare a proposal . Mr. Bob Hoog spoke against the motion on the floor and further suggested the City seek proposals from other engineering firms rather than a proposal from Briley, Wild & Associates . Discussion followed . Vote on the motion was as follows: In favor, Mr. Arabian; opposed, Mr. Porter, Mr. Randels and Mrs . Thurm. Motion failed . This item was reconsidered later in the meeting. 5.
