Re: District 15 Baldwin Park Trunk
Sewer Section 2
Dear Sir:
We request a change in the paving specifications
on the above named project.
This firm has reached an agreement with the City
of Baldwin Park relative to repaving the trench area within
the City whereby, and provided, said agreement is satisfactory
to the Sanitation Districts. We will accept full respon-
sibility and meet any requirements as set forth by the City
of Baldwin Park.
This change will be made at no additional cost to
the Sanitation Districts.
Respectfully submitted,
B & W Engineering
As a matter of record, Councilman Bloxham arrived at
11:23 a.m.
Discussion followed relative to the matter of transfer
of authority wherein City Attorney Saunders offered
clarification.
Acting City Engineer Johnson offered explanation of the
drainage condition at Frazier and Fairgrove and stated
that he did not want to change the gradesuntil the drain-
age problem is solved, as it involves private property;
wherein Mr. Johnson supported his elucidations by indica-
tions on the wall map.
Discussion continued relative to conditions in the Fair-
grove and Mangum area; wherein Chief Administrative Officer
Asmus recommended Council's acceptance of the $14,670.19
and the city forces do the restoration; wherein Mr. Milak
stated that $7,000.00 would be requested from County Aid
moneys for the cost of materials on Foster Avenue only;
wherein Chief Administrative Officer Asmus stated that the
total cost was $19,500.00, plus $7,500.00 for labor and
equipment, but that now it will be done for $14,670.19;
that part of the I" cap will be withheld until after the
connections are put in.

Chief Administrative Officer Asmus reported that the con-
tractor is going ahead, on the north side of Ramona Boule-
vard, and restoring the pavement to existing conditions;
that the City had contemplated doing this, but with the
involvement of the project as discussed today, there are
not sufficient forces to accomplish both. He also reported
that he was not satisfied with the bids on Merced Avenue
for sewer work.... evidently the time, place and date were
not made clear to the bidders....that 3 bids have come in,
being: $49,591.00, $50.560.00 and $52,169.00; that apparently
the reason for the high cost, as evidenced by the bids, is
the rocky condition north<.of.Los Angeles Street; that he
was reluctant to recommend to the Council that they negotiate
with the subdivider on the basis of these bids...that it was
his feeling better bids could be obtained; wherein it was
determined that these bids are only a matter of information
as far as the City is concerned, that they are the responsi-
bility of the subdivider, Mr. Tracy Bousman; that Mr. Bousman
did not advertise for bids he merely talked to some con-
tractors; wherein Councilman Cole suggested that the Chief
Administrative Officer contact Mr. Bousman and go over the bids
that have come in.
