that Gulf Western Construction Company be awarded the sewer project
for the Junior/Senior-High School as recommended by Cit yy Engineer
William Walsh in his letter to Mayor Kegley dated July K. 1965 which
reads as follows:
"Dear Sir:
We -have reviewed the bids received for construction of Sanitary
Sewers and Appurtenances in vicinity of Pearland Jr. -Sr. High
School and recommend that the contract be awarded to Gulf Western
Construction Co. for the unit prices set out -in Alternate Bid No.
2 using Asbestos -Cement Pipe. Although the,lowest total bid using
clay pipe was some $1,300.00 lower than that recommended, the actual
pipe cost was $9060.00 higher, indicating that a large portion of
Extra Work was included in the'pipe costs.
The basis for our decision was -more extensive auger borings taken
on July 7, 1965, indicating actual wet sand construction to be
approximately one-third of what we anticipated, therefore we feel
that our recommendation will result in lower actual construction
costs.
We,urgd that the contract be awarded as soon as. possible so that
construction may be completed before the season begins.
Yours very truly,
William C. Walsh, P. E."
