RESOLUTION NO. 82-41
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, as follows:
section 1. The City Council specifically finds that it
would be in the public interest to not publicly bid the
construction of the cement pad for the memorial in that there is
but one supplier of commercial quantities of cement materials
within the City of Seward, and the costs of going to public bid
might well exceed the price proposed, and the construction of the
cement platform by a firm outside the City of Seward would in all
probability be substantially more expensive.
Section 2. The City Manager is instructed to enter into
a contract with Metco, Inc., for the construction of the cement
pad and equipment as described by specifications and drawings
prepared by the City Engineer for a price not to exceed Six
Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty and No/lOO Dollars ($6,950.00).
PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEWARD, ALASKA, this 14th day of June , 1982.
