Motion authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract with the lowest responsible bidder. "At the March 11, 1996 work session, City Council was briefed on the option of constructing a work release/laundry facility at the City Compound on Frederick Boulevard as a way to provide some relief for the City Jail. This project was advertised for bids on March 17, 1996 and the bid opening is scheduled for April 2, 1996. The Director of Public Works recommends a total'budget for this facility of $400,000. In order to avoid any delay in the award of the proposed contract, I recommend appropriation of the $400,000 from the Capital Improvements Fund. I also request Council's authorization to enter into a contract with the lowest responsible bidder provided that costs are within the proposed budget. With your approval of this item, the remaining balance Of bonds authorized, but not yet appropriated will be $2,396,410~" Motion by Mr. Hawks, and seconded by Mr. Pitts, to adopt the following ordinance, and was adopted by the following vote: "AN ORDINA/~CE TO APPROPRIATE $400,000 FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FUND FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A WORK RELEASE/LAUNDRY FACILITY ON FREDERICK BOULEVARD."

Ordinance to appropriate $175,000 for the Cavalier Boulevard Project. b. Motion to increase contract awarded to Art-Ray Corporation by $175,000. "At the February 27, 1996 Council meeting, approval was received for the award of the contract for the piping of Cavalier Boulevard. The award was based on an alternate metal pipe which was bid along with concrete. Due to potential problems identified with the alternate pipe, the Director of Public Works recommends an increase in the amount of the award to provide for the installation of the concrete pipe option. The bid results are as shown on the attached sheet. The cost increase was negotiated to $175,000 with the low bidder, Art-Ray Corporation. I, therefore, recommend an appropriation in the amount of $175,000 from the Capital Improvements Fund. The source of funding for this appropriation will be a transfer from the Stormwater Management Fund. An increase'of $175,000 to the contract awarded to Art-Ray Corporation is also recommended.'"
