Background

For  fiscal   year  1989-90,   the  City   Council  approved  the
replacement of portions of  the  Police  Department  roof.   City
staff identified the areas which had deteriorated due to age  and
prepared a bid package for replacing those areas.

A Notice Inviting Bids was published  on April 3 and 4, 1989,  in
the  Evening Outlook and in  four construction journals.  Bidding
documents were also forwarded to seven minority/women contracting
associations.    Bidding   packages   were   requested   by   six
contractors.  The bids were received, opened and publicly read by
the Deputy City Clerk on May 3, 1989.  Five bids were received as
follows:

           Saddleback Roofing Inc.            $29,763

           Reycrest Roofing and Water-
