HIGHER THAN THE ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE
WHEREAS, the City of Fridley received bids for the Locke Lake repair and
improvement project #104 on August 16, 1971 and even the lowest bid of Hurley

the Engineer's estimate for the project.
WHEREAS, Minnesota State Statutes No. 429.041, Subdivision 2, provides that
if the only bids submitted are higher than the Engineer's estimate the Council

considers proper.
WHEREAS, the City's Consulting Engineer's, Comstock and Davis, Incorporated,
made a report to the City Council, dated August 30; 1971, outlinging portions
of the work that can be contracted along with the use of City forces and buying
some material which will make the total cost for the project $16,300.00 which
is reasonably close to the original estimate.
NOW, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Fridley that;
1. The City administration is hereby authorized to proceed with the re-
pair and improvement of the Locke Lake Dam Project #104 on the basis
