Malone, Clerk <br />of the Council, in the absence of both Mayor Lorin Griset and Vice Mayor <br />Wade Herrin, in the Council Chambers of the City Hall Annex, 500 West <br />Sixth Street.

With the assistance of local <br />subcontractors who do this kind of work, I, as general con- <br />tractor who has performed this kind of work, estimate the sum <br />of $275,000 to do a similar job as called for by the plans and <br />specifications. This low bid received is more than 25% in <br />excess of our engineer's estimate. My similar project plan <br />would call for 9'0" sidewalks with all existing walks and curbs <br />removed and new concrete walks and curbs of city specifications. <br />The proposed walks would consist of existing walks with a thin <br />layer of an overlay material that is practically painted on; <br />a similar type of work was done at Fourth and Main Streets <br />and because of wa]king traffic and/or other things was removed <br />in about two years after installation. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />-64 - <br /> <br />March 16, 1970 <br /> <br /> <br />
