There are no bids on this item remain on the agenda until further notice.

Do we have an addendum to a prior bid for that item?

So this is just an acknowledgment of an addendum for a bid that was already submitted for this item on the June 29 meeting. She just wanted to pass it for the original bid. Is

there a price for the fund or is it?

There's no price. There's no price.

Okay. This is just the addendum for their original Yeah. I'm sorry. Good. Rough and Ready LLC.

Is there another we opened a bid at the last meeting that was an unmarked bid that I mistakenly thought it was for a future Board of Contracts meeting, but it was actually for that bid. So we need to read that item into the record.

Yeah, I believe we have two unmarked bids still in this meeting and then Okay. Alright. I'll make note

of that. She's doing mockers.

Item two, Department of Housing, Human Services, Design and Social Media. So there are four bids for this item, and this is the visual brand at $20,000 This is also for item two. Arctopalago Strata News Group, dollars 19,880 that are five items for. Madam Clark, item we need to read in So the record from last

this bid we received unmarked and we received it for the last meeting. However, when we opened it, the title was unclear. So we're just gonna now read it into the record. It should have been opened under item number six from the last meeting, which is Department of Recreation, Health Workforce and Education Programming at Providence Recreation Centers, Capital Projects Fund, CPF, one year contract. The vendor is 120 compressions, and their bid is $25,000 And the minutes in front of you today do reflect that correction.

So there are now five bids total for that item.

Thank you, Madam Park. This completes the opening of bids. I'd like to entertain a motion to revert bids to the City of Parks Office. Motion made by Director Dapina, seconded by Director Richards, all in favor. All opposed, the ayes have it.

I'd like to entertain a motion to move to section C, advertisements.

So moved. Second.

Motion made by Director Delgado, seconded by Director Richards, all in favor. All opposed, the ayes have it. Madam Clerk, the ad requirements and sections, also have a couple of walk on ads.

Yes, we have two walk on ads, both from Department of Public Property. One is going to be opened on, actually they're both going be open on 10/05/2026. The first one is for Classfield High School electrical upgrades, and the second one is going to be bundled school construction Classville High School commercial chiller and reservoir and Glebaton Elementary Schools RTU replacements.

I'd like to entertain a motion to approve the advertisements in Section C as well as the two walk on advertisements. So moved.
