RE: Kalispell Fire Station #fit
Architect's Project No. 0420
Dear Chief Brodehl:
After receiving the bids yesterday I have spent time reviewing not only the bid numbers but
also the bonds and qualification statements included_ I have discussed with Cole + Russell
Architects where the bids came in and compared it to our budget. After further review of the
budget it is my recommendation that Martel Construction should be awarded the bid as the bid
fails within our budget and Martel's qualifications meet the standards set forth in our
specification manual.
Should you have any questions regarding the bids, budget or process please feel free to
contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
shad E. Grover, AIA
