If the unit had been extended on the basis of the error, it would have brought their total up to $150,026,244.45. Staff recommended acceptance of the low bid of Copenhaver Construction Company, in the amount of $28,242.90. Staff was questioned as to qualifi- cations and reputation of contractor proposed for this contract, and Council advised of the check made indicating, although a relatively new company, their reputation had been satisfactory on jobs completed in other peninsula areas.

Councilman Keekley questioned an observation he had made of slope dirt over- flowing onto sidewalk on Farm Hill Boulevard at one point and if anything could be done to correct situation. Deputy Director of Public Works advised permanent measures to prevent this sort of occurrence required wider right of way acqui- sition in order that intercepting ditch could be left at top of a slope, but he would check on this situation to see what could be done at this time. Council- man Keckley also asked that Staff check the specific conditions which had been set for this development as to landscaping of slope areas to make certain re- quirements were being fulfilled.
