<br /> cilman Weiss read the following prepared statement:
<br /> t�In eonnection with this report I c,�n only say that the report as submitted does not
<br /> I conform with the motion as passed, in that it covers only the questions I raised
<br /> ; and wished included in the overall survey. I must also remark that r esponses even to
<br /> ', said questions are not in sufficient detail to convey specific or detailed infor-
<br /> ' raation. The report does not in any way cover the requirement or request that a com-
<br /> prehensive survey and report be made together with pertinent comments and recommen-
<br /> dations the City Manager deems appropriate.
<br /> Under the circumstances and since the motion granted time until the first meeting in �
<br /> August, I request, and if necessary so moved, that this matter be carried on the
<br /> agenda for our meeting of August 5th. In the interim, with Council permission, I
<br /> should like to confer with the City Manager so that there may be a clearer understand-
<br /> ing as to the details and information desired in said report. "
<br /> The Mayor stated that he could not see any objections to Councilman Weiss contacting
<br /> the City Mana�er for further information.
<br /> Councilman Granger moved that the City Manager be authorized to pay the bill in the
<br /> amount of �32.21 for the crane operation at the launching of boats at �he �egatta,

<br /> SUMMARY OF L04�` BIDS; ALTERNATE I ALTERNATE II
<br /> Two 4 million gallon reservoirs �l�79,3i9.20 �l�7?'!}58.5
<br /> Supply mains & drain line 59,826.50 �9,826. 0
<br /> Totals #539,1�.5.70 �537,28�..70
<br /> The bond issue passed in April 1956 in the amount of �500,000 �►as based on a pre-
<br /> liminary estimate in the amount of $367,051} for contract item only, prepared by
<br /> Nlr. La�rence G. Brian under date of January 3, 1956• The consulting engineerts later
<br /> estimate, dated May 24, 1957, were prepared af ter plans and specifications were com-
<br /> pleted, and totaled �l�.71,160.50 for Alternate I with the supply mains and drain line,
<br /> �d �473�135•50 for Alternate II with the supply mains and drain line.
<br /> Based upon t2ie above low bids for prestressed concrete reservoirs, it is apparent
<br /> that the total cost oP the combined pro�ects will probably be at least �600,000
<br /> including land acquisition, consulting engineer�s fees, foundation investigation, �
<br /> 1�
<br /> inspection and eonstruction engineering. If the concrete reservoirs are eonstructed,
<br /> it is apparant that at leas.t �100,000 additional must be provided either from an
<br /> additional bond issue, or from accumul�ted Water Dep artment funds, or the pro�eet
<br /> must be reduced in scope by elimin ating sufficient items to allow construction �
<br /> within t� �500,000 b ond issue. It might be possible to ne�otiate with the low ,,,,�
<br /> bidders to eliminate certain items from their bids. Additional time will be
<br /> necessary to further analyza the bids, negotiate with the contractors and determine
<br /> which items rnight be eliminated and still construct an operatable reservoir system.
<br /> The only alternative would be to re�ect all bids and have the consulting engineer
<br /> re-�lesign the pro3ect to come within the anailable funds.
