| JC Industries apparent low bidder for Adkins Stadium project
The company's base bid of $4.537 million also was the lowest of the five bids opened Friday afternoon.The district's final decision is based mostly on the total of the base bid and four additional alternatives included in the bid package, said Bob Weber, the school district's Facilities and Planning director.The other four firms submitted total bids ranging from $5.198 million to nearly $5.737 million for the project."We'll have to review the bidders' details and their lists of sub-contractors," Weber said. "We'll also have to see whether any of their alternative bids offer options we want to use."Weber and Kimble said there is time to finish sorting through the options and still submit a recommendation to the school board at its special, 6 p.m. meeting Monday.The board's only agenda item is to accept or reject bids on the stadium project.
Malibu Hybrid's minimal advantage isn't worth the cost

Still, GM continues to build its "mild" hybrids, using the belt-alternator-starter system, yielding in the Chevy Malibu a grand total of 2 mpg in city-highway fuel economy over the standard four-cylinder. This option costs a whopping $1,795 and could only be worthwhile if buyers put in for the $1,300 federal tax credit. To compare, a Toyota Camry Hybrid option costs $200 (over the four-cylinder XLE) and yields an increased fuel economy of 31 percent. .
