BIDS At the meeting of January 20, 1976 the Agency
considered bids for the installation of sewer
main within the Redevelopment Project area
between Orange Street, Citrus Avenue and Eureka
Street. At the request of the Public Works
Department the matter was held in abeyance for
consideration after receipt of precise information
on the location of the Pacific Telephone Company
conduit and cable in the area adjacent to the
sewer alignment. The information has been
received, and the Director of Public Works states
Rebid that the sewer must be installed on a new alignment.
Sewer He recommends that, on the advice of legal counsel,
Project
the Council reject all bids and that the project
be re-advertised on the new alignment.
Mr . Shefchik further stated that the bid opening
date of February 17, 1976 will provide sufficient
time to complete the project without adverse
effect on the Redevelopment Project. Following
discussion, on motion of Member Knudsen, seconded
by Member Miller, this rebid was authorized by
AYE votes of all present.

N responsibility of Agency coordinator of technical
activities in the fields of engineering construc-
Staff tion and demolition of the Redevelopment Project,
Salary
Adjustments thus relieving the Agency of the responsibility
of hiring an additional engineer for this work.

Mr. Merritt also requested that the salary of
Community Development Coordinator Poer be

the understanding that they will be reviewed on
