Official Publication of the Minnesota Society of Architects VOLUME XXXVI NUMBER 1 Jan.-Feb. 1972 JANUARY-FEBRUARY, 1972 Cost efficiency is one of the most important reasons for letting separate contracts It's been proved over and over again. Both in privately financied construction and in public construction where funds come from taxes. In fact, many states and cities require separate bids. The mechanical portions must be separated from the general constmc- tion bids. The result is that competitive bidding for mechanical work reduces costs, increases efficiency. That's reason enough to let all mechanical contracts separately. ST. PAUL PIPING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION PIPING INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL OF MINNEAPOLIS AND ST.
