In order to increase the production level and maximize utilization of these available funds, the Department decided to increase its use of outside contractors . The Department solicited bids from 28 contractors, and received bids from 6 firms. William Stewart Heating and Air Conditioning was the lowest responsible bidder. They are both a small business enterprise, and a local business enterprise. 00, CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: / YES SIGNATURE: / RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE APPWFVIN OTH SIGNATURE(S) : F� ACTION OF BOAR ON APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS \/ I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE x UNANIMOUS ABSENT AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN AYES: NOES: - AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE ABSENT: ABSTAIN: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN.
