<br /> RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES IN THE RESIDENTIAL R-60 and R-60-A DISTRICTS."

<br /> 62-75 - "The following bids were received on March 28th, 1962 for storm drainage improve-
<br />menzs for the City of Portsmouth:
<br /> A. G, Pinkston Company $ 151,793.55
<br /> Vico Company 160,225.88
<br /> A. Stuart Bol~ing Company, Inc. 173,949.25
<br /> R. L. Whitfield ~nd Company, Incorporated 205,032.60
<br /> A. G. Pinkston Company being the low bidder, I recommend that the contrac~ be
<br />awarded to this firm. It is to be noted that this contract price and al~o the contract price for curb and guttering
<br />exceeds the current appropriation for storm drains and curbs and guzters under the Capital Improvement program. It
<br />will be necessary to either delete 'part of this program from the contract or carry s portion forward into the next
<br />fiscal year. Due to prices received under this contract, I recommend that this contrac5 be extended into the next
<br />fiscal year.
<br />
<br />Motion of Mr. Dillon to concur xn the recoramendation of the City Manager was adopted, with-
<br />
<br />out dissenting vote.
<br />
<br /> 62-76 - "The following bids were received on March 28th, 1962 for the construction of
<br />curbs and gutters mh th~ City of Portsmouth:
<br />
<br /> Birsch Construction Corporation $ 168,061.00
<br /> Norfolk, Virginia-
<br /> Ames and Webb, Incorporated 17.9,198.00
<br /> Norfolk, Virginia
<br /> As the bid submitted by the Birsch Construction Corporation was the lowes~ and
<br />being in order, I recommend that the contract be awarded to this firm. As the appropriation under the Capital
<br />Improvement program includes the curbs and guttering, this contract also affects this appropriation and would be
<br />necessary to extend this into the nex~ fiscal year appropriation. I recommend that this be done.
<br />
<br />Motion of Mr. Leafy to concur in the recommendation of the City Manager was adopted, with-
<br />
<br />out dissenting vote.
<br />
<br /> 62-77 - "I submit the attached agreement between the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company
<br />and the City of Portsmouth and recommend that the proper City official be authorized to sign. This is an easement
<br />for a sewer line under the main track of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and is in counection with the construction
<br />of the sewers in the Simonsda'le area.
<br />
<br />Motion of Mr. Dillon ~o concur in the recommendation of the City Manager was adopted, with-
<br />
<br />out dissenting vote.
<br />
<br />In this connection, the following resolution was adopted:
<br />
<br /> "Be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Portsmouth, Virginia
<br />in regular meeting assembled, that the Mayor of said City be, and he hereby
<br />is authorized to enter into an agreemenE with the ATLANTIC COAST LINE RAILROAD
