that it was not. He had a specialist check the pipe and his feeling was that
7ust the 7oints should be replaced. He has asked for three written quotes,
the lowest of which is from G.L. Contracting Company in the amount oE
$4662.00. They are the contractor putting in the N.S.S.S.D. lines. He said
that the other two quotes were over $5000 and if there had not been a quote
under $5000, the City would have been required to let bids.
