was specified, it really gets down to where it was manufactured: Secondly,
the Council has the right to waive irregularities in the contract langua ge or
'
in the bid. So based on those assumptions Mr. Kessel felt the.Cou,ncil did
have that authority. City Manager McGuire further stated that he would also
