<br />• <br />RESOLUTION NO. 81-4 <br />A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CALCIUM SULFATE AS ROAD SUB- <br />BASE MATERIAL FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF 23RD STREET IN LA PORTE, <br />AS A TEST SECTION; ~1ND WAIVING BID FORMALITIES.. <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE: <br />Section 1. Attached to this Resolution, and made a part <br />hereof, are copies of a Proposal by McKey Construction and <br />Equipment, Inc., to provide and install calcium sulfate for sub- <br />base material for the improvement of 23rd Street, and the recom- <br />mendation of Jerry Hodge, Director of Public Works, that the <br />City accept such proposal, as a test section, to determine if <br />• the City should use calcium sulfate as a road base material in <br />future street construction. <br />Section 2. The City Council of the City of La Porte finds, <br />determines, and declares that McKey Construction and Equipment, <br />Inc., is the sole source of supply of calcium sulfate, and that <br />there is therefore no reason nor necessity for bidding on such <br />test section; and, further, that such proposal is reasonable and <br />that such test is in the best interest of the City of La Porte, <br />because of the increasingly high cost of crushed limestone, and <br />because calcium sulfate, if proven satisfactory in such test, <br />will provide the City of La Porte with an alternate type of road <br />base material at a fraction of the cost of crushed limestone. <br />Section 3. The City Council authorizes the approval of a <br />• contract with McKey Construction and Equipment, Inc., based on <br />said proposal, with appropriate change orders as may be necessary <br />as to quantities and thickness. <br />PASSED TND ADpRrJV~'n, }:'; ° tY'~ n}~' d~y ` Mar:;`:, 138i. <br />~::. 11U .~ z.. i. a ^v s. <br />• <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />J.
