RESOLUTION NO. 82-47
WHEREAS, it will be less expensive for the City to
supervise the operation of a single large contract covering both
stripping and clearing and the City Engineer has estimated such
savings to be in excess of $10,000.00, and
WHEREAS, it would cost in excess of $3,000.00 to go
through the pUblic bidding process, and
WHEREAS, it is possible that there may be additional
savings by use of hydraulic fill from the current project with
Chris Berg, Inc., for filling after stripping has occurred which
savings would not be possible were the stripping to be delayed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SEWARD, ALASKA, that:
