<br />the Grants Contingency Account for this purpose.

<br />the Tidewater Health District to continue a perinatal health care program. The Tidewater
<br />Health DistriCt, which includes Portsmouth, Suffolk, lisle of Wight, Franklin and Southampton
<br />County, was originally awarded brant funds for this project in January, 1983.
<br />
<br /> The grant employs nurses, outreach workers, and clerical personnel to carry out the
<br />objectives of the program. Services provided includ~ prenatal-and well-baby clinics, nutri-
<br />tional assessment and connseling, home visits, parenting classes, transportation and medical
<br />care for low-income, high-risk mothers and infants. ~

<br /> The State Bureau of Maternal and Child Health is awarding the Portsmouth Public Health
<br />Department the sum of $57,174 in federal funds to extend the project through the State's fisca
<br />year schedule. No local match is required, and the project is renewable on July 1, 1985.
<br />
<br /> I recommend approval of this extension and the transfer of $57,174 from the Grants Con-
<br />tiengency Account for this purpose." ~
<br />
<br /> Motion of ~r. Gray and seconded by Nfs. Webb, that authorization be granted to transfer

<br /> 85-80 - Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of a motion to award contract
<br />for sewer facilities to service waterfront development to the responsible, low bidder.
<br />
<br /> "I:heo~der to, provide s~niltary ~ewer facilities to service water~ront development just
<br />north of High Street, a sanitary sewer line extension is necessary along Water Street. This
<br />line replaces a deteriorated main which previously serviced this corridor. Because of the
<br />Priority Actfon Plan (High Street improvements), it is cost effective to replace this main at
<br />this time so curb cuts will not be necessary in the near ~uture. Bids were received on March
<br />18, 1985 for installation of a 12" line, between London Boulevard and the Naval Shipyard ~useum
<br />The bids were as follows: ~
<br />
<br />(1) Utility Builders, Inc.
<br />(2) M. E. Wilkins, Inc.
<br />~3) Dominion Pipe and Grading
<br />(4) Conrad Brothers~ Inc.
<br />(5) DJW Construction
<br />
<br />$47,523.50
<br />$82,671.79
<br />$55,070.50
<br />$61,645.00
<br />$77,206.00
<br />
<br />City Estimate
<br />
<br />$B7,000.00
<br />
<br /> The to~al cost of the project, including engineering and inspection is $54,023.50. The
<br />City Engineer has investigated Utility Builders, Inc., with regard to qualifications and
<br />financial status to perform the work and he recommends award of the contract. Funds have been
<br />appropriated for the project; therefore, only award o:f the contract is needed.
<br />
<br /> I recommend adoption of a motion to award contract for sewer facilities to service water-
<br />front development to the responsible low bidder."
<br />
<br /> N6tion of Mr. Corprew and seconded by Mr. Beamer, that the contract for sewer facilities
<br />to service waterfront development be awarded to Utility Builders, Inc., as recommended, and
<br />w~ssadopted by unanimous vote.
