The low bidder, Damon Construction Co., was the only contractor to submit a bid for the
project. Because of lack of funds and other competitive bids, staff recommends that the
project be re -bid.
Items of work include installing sewer cleanouts at the property line, removing and
replacing alley improvements, adjusting utility frames and covers to finished grade, and
constructing other incidental items of work.
Construction was scheduled to begin in September of 2000, after the summer season. It
is planned to re- advertise so that a contract can still be awarded in August. If this
schedule is met, the project can still be completed this fall.
The FYI 999-00 funds in the amount of $211,000.00, in account No. 7013- C510027, are
proposed to be re- budgeted to FY2000 -01 during the upcoming Capital Improvement
Program Review in June.
