<br />Oorporation upon the condition that a performance bond of $106,897.O0 and a guaranty bond of
<br />$25,0OO. be given by the C~der Incinerator Corporation end that the contract be approved by thel
<br />the A~ministrator of the Federal Works Agency.
<br /> I am in receipt of a letter of the agents of bonding company stating
<br />that the specifications for the incinerator do no~ require the bond of $25,000. smd it ~opears
<br />that the incinerator Corporation objects to giving such a bond. The officials of the Federal
<br />~orks Agency info~med me that the City can not require the guaranty bondand suggest that t~his
<br />requirement be omitted.
<br /> I suggest that the contract with the Goder Incinerator Corporation be
<br />approved and that the 0ity Manager and City Clerk be authorized to execute the same when the
<br />necessary performance bond is given and full approval is had by the Feders~l Works Agency."
