REV. HARVEY RE: BIDDING
Rev. Harvey addressed the Commission concerning bids that were let by the City for
demolition of Paper Supply. He said there was a minority bidder, and in his estimation a
good one, whose bid on this project was rejected, and in his opinion, rejected unfairly.
He identified this bidder as Hockett Construction Company of Jackson, Tennessee.
Commissioner Montgomery entered the meeting at this time.
Mr. Hockett addressed the Commission concerning his bid and said his bid was rejected
because he submitted a check on his business and not a certified check. He said he could
have submitted a certified check if he had been told the city would not accept his business
check.
Commissioner Coleman read language that was contained in the bid specifications and
pertinent to this discussion.
Mayor Paxton told Mr. Hockett he will check with the City Engineer tomorrow
concerning this matter.
