RESOLUTION NO. 81-4
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CALCIUM SULFATE AS ROAD SUB-
BASE MATERIAL FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF 23RD STREET IN LA PORTE,
AS A TEST SECTIQNi AND WAIVING BID FORMALITIES.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE:
Section 1. Attached to this Resolution, and made a part
hereof, are copies of a Proposal by McKey Construction and
Equipment, Inc., to provide and install calcium sulfate for sub-
base material for the improvement of 23rd Street, and the recom-
mendation of Jerry Hodge, Director of Public Works, that the
_ Ci ty accept such proposal, as a test section, to determine if
the Ci ty should use calcium sulfate as a road base material in
future street construction.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of La Porte finds,
determines, and declares that McKey Construction and Equipment,
Inc., is the sole source of supply of calcium sulfate, and that
there is therefore no reason nor necessity for bidding on such
test sectioni and, further, that such proposal is reasonable and
that such test is in the best interest of the City of La Porte,
because of the increasingly high cost of crushed limestone, and
because calcium sulfate, if proven satisfactory in such test,
e
will provide the City of La Porte with an alternate type of road
base material at a fraction of the cost of crushed limestone.
Section 3. The Ci ty Council authorizes the approval of a
contract wi th McKey Construction and Equipment, Inc., based on
said proposal, with appropriate change orders as may be necessary
as to quantities and thickness.
PASSED AND APPROVED, this the 4th day of March, 1981.
