The letter stated that the low bidders for Schedule A are Shaffer Construction ($368,098.00) and Burnham Construction ($392,560.00). The only Contractor submitting an acceptable bid for Schedule B only was R. W. Scott ($145,622.75.)

These problems include overrun of contract time and lack of coordination of work within the organization. The work has been generally described as average. Investigation of Burnham Construction's background indicates excellent references as to cooperation, scheduling and quality.
