A. Thomas, Mayor <br />C. D. Boyle Commissioner <br />~. J. Kibodeax " <br />Virginia Cline " <br />W. S. Love, Jr. ',' <br />Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners: <br />We are writing in regard to our Water Line Bid for your City as sub- <br />mitted July 21, 1975. We regret that an addition error raised our <br />bid from an apparent $50,676.00 to $52,676.00. Our company is very <br />interested in working for your community and in an effort to reduce <br />the cost of the subject waterline we will be pleased to reduce the <br />amount of our bid by 5% if we could be permitted to excavate using <br />a back hoe rather than a ditching machine and compact the backfill <br />above the pipe zone using water tamping rather than mechanical tamp- <br />ing. <br />In excavating with a back hoe our normal procedure calls for backfill- <br />ing with a second back hoe which allows us to place the fill material <br />into the ditch without the shock load created by backfilling with a <br />front end loader or bulldozero In water tamping for backfill consoli- <br />dation the areas under streets and roadways would be mechanically <br />tamped or filled with stabilized material as presently called for. <br />This proposal will make our total bid $50,042.00 with all unit prices <br />to be reduced on a pro rata basis. Please contact us at your earliest <br />convenience if this proposal is of interest to the City of LaPorte. <br />Yours very truly, <br />BR COMPANY NC. <br />C~~~ <br />C.
