Muncie City Council approved awarding three roofing contracts after staff read competing bids for the same properties, leaving the record noting lower bids from a different company.

City staff reported bid amounts for three properties: for "'20 3 South Elm," Regal Roofing quoted $15,732 and A and S Roofing quoted $24,995; for 626 West Ninth Street, Regal quoted $11,668 and A and S Roofing quoted $19,648; and for 410 West Harvard Drive, Regal quoted $13,005.74 and A and S Roofing quoted $18,862. "'20 3 South Elm contract. We went with, Regal Roofing, and theirs was for $15,732. And then the other company was A and S Roofing for $24,995," the staff member read into the record.

After the bid amounts were read for transparency, an elected official moved the award. "I move approval of the 3 roofing bid contracts to Bridal Roofing as indicated. Second," the elected official said. The presiding official then called for a voice vote: "Having no questions, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. All opposed? Okay. Motion carried." The motion carried by voice vote; no roll-call vote or individual tallies were recorded in the transcript.

The meeting transcript records both the staff presentation of the low bids from Regal Roofing and A and S Roofing and the subsequent motion awarding the contracts to Bridal Roofing, but it does not explain the basis for awarding to Bridal Roofing despite the lower documented quotes by Regal. The transcript does not specify who seconded the motion, the number of votes in favor or opposed, or the funding source for the work.

No additional discussion of project scope, schedule, warranties, or contract amounts for Bridal Roofing appears in the provided record. The meeting then moved on and was adjourned.
