work in CIIAP. This is due to faulty equipment, unseasonable conditions, and too
i many projects using force acct. Blackard of EDA was here the past two days and says
f he will be here for inspection of Phase I, EDA Project 47-01-00058-.on 17 July. He
expects to see this Phase completed, so the City will have to hire additional help
and equipment. Wince and Jaynes had proposals from three different concerns and
recommended using Arctic Asphalt Paving, Inc. crews and equipment.sinee their pro-
posal was the lowest and they are acquainted with the work to be done.

Phase I to lease equipment and hire operators.

Blackard said the City should fully inform the Seattle office of the status
of the City's Gas system with relation to the proposed franchise to Kenai Utility
Service. Harrison will do this.
Also Dan Meyer will be asked to let the Seattle office know the City's plans
for bond sale, etc.
On the II&S Project M7-1-00271, he discussed the City's need for expediting
this work with the Mayor and City Administrative personnel. He could see our problem,
but said a project of $16400,000 should not be rushed and that better bids can be
had by giving the full 30 day advertising period for invitation to bid. In addition,
the City has not complied with the requirements necessary before going to bid; we
will give top priority to these needs - the principal me being rights -of -way.
Blackard gave written approval to proceed with advertising for bid with the
understanding that: " state approvals of plans and specs have not been received,
2. EDA's reviews have not been completed, 3. Addendum will be issued incorporating
all corrections required by State, FWPCA and EDA, 4. Bids will not be opened until
addendum has been in the hands of all plan holders by at least 7 days, S. Contracts
will not be awarded until all required documents have been submitted to and approved
by EDA, and 6. This procedure is agreeable to the City and its Engineer."
There was discussion on easements again - same as at Wh,S meetings before.

for this at the end of the fiscal year.

Budget. Motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.
