<br /> "As you are aware, $100,000 is identified in the 1985 Capital Imprevement Program for
<br />installation of sidewalks within the City. Emphasis was to be placed on major thoroughfares,
<br />interstate underFasses, and miscellaneous repairs. This $100,000 was to be combined with the
<br />Department of Public Work's annual sidewalk replacement program ($100,000) for a total Froject
<br />budget of $200,000.
<br />
<br /> The City LBnginser developed a list of 30 projects which fulfill the crlterma established
<br />for this program. The work was bid last month with the bid opening held on May 30, 1986.
<br />Only one bid was received before the deadline and it was from Aldo Construction Corporation in
<br />the amount $252,510. This bid was 23% higher than the City Engineer had anticipated. The Cit>
<br />Engineer, in reviewing the contractor's bid, has negotiated the contract price to bring the
<br />cost within budget. As a result, it will be necessary to postpone several of the projects unt:
<br />
<br />1987. The City Engineer recommends approval of the negotiated contract
<br />S167,336.25. Attached is the proposed project list for 1986.
