In <br />addition, other aspects of the work considered incidental were <br />inadvertantly not included in LaTour"s bid. <br /> <br />The fact that the bid included these material mistakes is evident <br />because LaTour was in excess of 30% low ($130,000) compared to the <br />other three bidders that were within $20,,000 of each other. <br /> <br />LaTour requests that our bid be withdrawn and the bId bond returned <br />due to the mistakes in our bid. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br /> <br />Sincerely" <br />LATOUR CONSTRUCTION, INC. <br /> <br />,~~ <br /> <br />Gary Thompson" Estimator <br /> <br />"1:"......, ,-,..._........_,.... ~__..__..___ <br />
