If such casing is readily available, another course of action is possible. The Council could then authorize emergency proposals for the casing and emergency proposals for the installation of the casing from the three bidders that bid on the installation of the concrete pipe. By installing the casing, it is possible to provide for the future installation of two types of sewer pipe that are more resistant to the effects of hydrogen sulfide generated by sewage. We hope to have more complete answers concerning this possibility by Monday afternoon. If this course looks advantageous, we would recommend that the present bids be held until the new proposals were received. .GZ~ ack Owen JO/kg ' ~ • CITY OF LA PORTS MEMORANDUM T0: Mayor and Council FROM: Jack Owen, City Manager DATE: July 26, 19$5 • SUBJECT: Possible Installation of Casing Across Highway 146 The Staff and Turner Collie and Braden are investigating the availability of casing to cross Highway 146.
