In the meantime, legislation to allow the district to negotiate with the low bidder is speeding through the state legislature. The measure passed the Assembly yesterday andistentatively scheduled for Senate committee hearing Monday. Construction bids on the project were more than $8 million above district estimates, some $6 million or more above available district funds, Ed K oster indicated this week that the district will likely issue a call for new bids Monday, in the hope that construction firms will be more competitive in bidding again. Inthe event that negotiation is allowed under the pending legislation, and is successful, then the call for bids will be withdrawn.
