Bob Gass, of Fox and Jacobs, presented two alternatives to the
resurfacing of Sunny Slope street, which had been heavily damaged
by the heavy truck and equipment traffic during the building program
of Fox and Jacobs. An estimate of $49,591 was submitted for an asphalt
surface, or $89619 for concrete; which they would hope that the city
would participate in, should we require that type of surface. Further
research is to be done by our engineer as to the total amount of work
to be done and the cost of going all concrete and hopefully including
it in with the other street bids. At that point, the City and F & J
are to decide how much each can contribute.
