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.
