We had one alternate included in the bid as their preferred option. This consisted of incorporating a stained and impressioned pattern on the concrete at intervals along the sidewalk. The crosswalks would consist of the same color and pattern. The alternate came in within the prescribed budget, therefore, we will be able to include this as a part of the project.

Schifsky & Sons, Inc. of North St. Paul, Minnesota. Financial implications: We received five bids for 200 1 Contract A. The low bid submitted by T. A.
