Once they-are in, the Engineer <br />for TCDC, Carlos Smith, will be ready to advertise for bids. <br />As you may recall the question of oversizing the water main from an <br />8-inch to a 12-inch has been discussed several times but has not yet been <br />approved by Council. Please schedule this item for Council action as soon <br />as possible so that we may proceed with the bid process. <br />The cost of oversizing was estimated at $68,450.00 in August 1982. <br />Due to the addition of several valves the cost may now approach $70,000.00±. <br />Although Southern Pacific Railroad refused to participate in the total <br />cost of the oversizing it would be to the City's advantage to contact them <br />again and request at least a partial participation based on their frontage <br />or acreage. It is recommended that the City of La Porte fund the oversizing, <br />whether or not any other contributions are received up front, since the 12-inch <br />main is needed to serve the undeveloped acreage in Northwest La Porte. <br />~~ <br />Joh~~i~ Joerns <br />JJ/st <br />~r ~' .L <br />
