water system. Mr. Frye emphasized to those present that the Board of Commissioners
has not endorsed a particular water system. Rather, they have an idea they want to
study to see if it is feasible. A committee composed of Frank Willis, Darrell Frye,
and Clinton Comer reviewed the bids received. Four ranged from $20,000-$48,000. Both

mendation was to consider the two low bids further and to make a final decision at the
January meeting. Mr. Frye noted that the Board had received proposals from some
excellent firms. The two low bids are from Randolph County firms, who are familiar
with the area and data and who have done past work which gives them a distinct advantage
with this proposal. The Manager is to inform the four firms whose bids were rejected.
