The major project this year will consist of replacement of the ~[~ roof at the Public Health Department, including new flashings vasterners, and roof drains. This project was advertised for bids and only one bid was received, from Roof-Tech, Inc. of Norfolk for a cost of $34,290. A 10% allocation for contingencies brings the cest for this work to $37,700. The Director of General Services has recommended award of the bid to Roof-Tech, Inc. In addition, the Director of General Services plans_to seek bids very soon to repair roofs at four ether buildings. These are the City Park Cemetery Office, Port Norfolk Recreation Center, the Public Works Office at the City ComFound, and the Main Library. The total cost for these projects is estimated at $12,300, for a total cost of $50,000, including the Public Health roof replacement I concur with the recommendation of the Director of General Services and recommend that you appropriate the necessary funds and authorize the award of contract." On motion of Mrs. Webb and seconded by Mr. Gray~ the following ordinance was apprcved on first reading; award of contract to Roof-Tech, Inc., as recommended, and was adopted by unanimous vote: "AN ORDINANCE TO ~PPROPRIATE $50,000 FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR ROOF REPAIRS TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH BUILDING, THE CITY PARK CEMETERY OFFICE, THE PORT NORFOLK RECREATION CENTER, PUBLIC WORKS OFFICE AT THE CITY COMPOUND AND THE MAIN LIBRARY BRANCH." 87-350 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption o~ an ordinance to appropriate $135,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund for the purchase of the CSX Railroad Ri~ht-of-Way from the City's boundary with Chesapeake to Twin Pines Road. "The CSX '~ilroad has offered to provide the City with the righ of first refusal for the purchase of its abandoned right-of-way in Churchland. This property is located from the City's boundary with Chesapeake to Twin Pines Road. I am pleased to inform the Council that negotiations with the CSX Railroad have resulted in a purchase price of $135,000 for thi~ approximately 9.8 acre strip. Much of the land is zoned commercial and acquisition by the City would permit control of the disposition and use of the property in a manner consistent with Council's ob- jectives. As you may recall, funding for the acquisition of the property has been provided through the reallocation of the Bart and South Street project that was approved by Council in May. I, therefore, recommend that City Coucil adopt this ordinance appropriating the necessary $135,000 and authorize me to sign the p~rchase agreement with the GSX Railroad." On motion of Mrs. Lucas and seconded by Mrs. Webb, the follow- ing ordinance was approved on first reading; authorization to sign purchase agreement with CSX Railroad, as requested, and was adopte~
