REPORT OF VILLAGE ENGINEER DONALD CHRISTOFFERSEN 1982 Sealcoatlnq Contract Bids Council was referred to bid tabulation of three bids received on August 5th for 1982 bituminous sealcoating, Christoffersen said the EngIneer's estimate was $38,000; recommends acceptance of the low bid of $36,820.20 by All ied Blacktop. In discussion, It was noted that $28,000 was budgeted for the 1982 sealcoatlng pro- ject; acceptance of the low bid will be $8,800 over the budget. One alternative suggested was to reduce the size of the project. Christoffersen explained that the bid Is based on quantities; streets In 1982 project are wider than those In the 1981 project, consequently, even though the miles of streets are approximately the same, there Is a difference in the quantitIes needed to complete the project. .. McNlesh noted that the 1982 General Fund is about $14,000 under the budgeted amount; General Fund could probably absorb the difference between the actual and budgeted amount for sealcoatlng.
