Tereesa Padgett~ ¢ity~Cle~ CITY of BOYNTON BEACH 720 N.E. 2ND AVENUE BOYNTON BEACH. fLORIDA 33435 August 24, 1965 Honorable Mayor and City Council City Hall Boynton Beach, Florida Gentlemen: I understand that, in a special meeting which has been called for 9:00 a.m., Thursday, August 26, one of the topics for discussion and possi~e action will be the completion of that portion of the sanitary sewer pro- gr~mwhich was designed by Russell &Axon but which was not advertised for bids recently. Due to the fact that the bids for the first portion of this Work were considerably below the estimates, I be- lieve that it would be very desirable to authorize ad- vertising for bids for the balance of this work at this time. It is my understanding that the estLmates to complete this project are $124,000. tf a motion is made at this meeting to complete this work, I would like to have this letter read as support- ing that motion. Thank you. / / ~e~/~tru ly yours,/_/ / .//J. Allison Banks //City Councilman cc: City Manager
