<br />$44,490
<br />$44,580
<br />
<br /> The iow bid of $44,380 is well below estimates by our Engineering Department.
<br />
<br /> This appropriation is to cover contracl award, supervision, and Inspection of constructIon
<br />and contingencies.
<br />
<br /> I request permission to award a contract to Welch Industries of Virginia Beach, Virginia~~
<br />the low bidder."

<br />This appropriates $49,700 from the Capital Improvement fund for relocation of utilities betwe~
<br />Fort Lane and Effingham Street in the Northside Urban Renewal Project.
<br />
<br /> In order that the area bounded by Effingham Street, Fort Lane, London Boulevard, and
<br />Cedar Grove Cemetery can be developed, it is necessary to close Glasgow Street, abandon the
<br />sanitary sewer and sanitary sewer suction ma~n there in and install new lines in the area
<br />just South of the Cemetery wall. It is also necessary to abandon an 18" storm drain line
<br />which now crosses this area and lay a new line parallel to the new sewer lines.
<br />
<br /> Bids were asked for this work on January 9, 1973, but only one bid was received. This
<br />was from A. Stuart Bolling Co. in the amount of $46,913. Since our Engineering Department
<br />estimate was only $59,000, negotiations were held with the single bidder and a contract price
<br />of $40,417.60 has been offered by Mr. Bolling.
<br />
<br /> The total appropriation reqnested ($49,700) includes cost of design, inspection, supervi
<br />sion, and contract award.
<br />
<br /> I concur in the recommendation of the City Engineer that a contract be awarded to A.
<br />Stuart Bolling Co. in order that this project can move forward as soon as possible."
