Re:
Silver Lake Dead Ends
I
spoke to Dave Knapp at Eustance and Horowitz this morning.
Dave has prepared bid documents and specifications for
the Silver Lake Dead Ends Community Development block Grant
drainage and pavement. Once the bid documents are approved
by Joanne Fazzino from the Office of Community Development,
we will be ready to solicit bids. I would recommend advertising
the bid on October 3, 2003, with the bid opening scheduled
for 2:00 PM on October 17th.
If
you agree, please read a resolution at the next Town Board
meeting allowing the Commissioner of Public Works to advertise
for bid and enter into a contract with the lowest responsible
bidder. Our hope is to complete this project before the
onset of winter weather.
If
you have any questions, please give me a call. Thank you
for your prompt attention.
