       Committee, two motions were passed unanimously.  The intent behind both
       motions was to proceed with the full scope of the project and resulted in the
       following action:
       Action:  Consider the Clark Construction low bid as reasonable,
       responsive and valid; accept the Clark base bid of approximately
       $79,899,000; recommend that City Council appropriate an additional
       $24,321,083 into the City Hall Project budget in order to complete the full
       project all at the same time; and communicate to the City Council that the
       $79,899,000 Clark bid meets the charter given to the Oversight Committee by
       the City Council.
