GATES A. JOHNSON,
Chairman Of Committee on Streets, Sewers
and Bridges.
The following is the report of the City En-
gineer in the matter:
Aid. Gates A. johnson, Chairman of Com
mittce on Streets:
DEAR SIR: Following is the list of bids
received in answer to the advertisement cal
ling for bids for rebuilding the balance of
Wabashaw street bridge, and which were re-
ferred to me for eYamin alton, and report at
yrl,r N, off in ~ hald m tba al inst
Penn Bridge Co.. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 1916, 1857 90
Smith Bridge Co. Observation-Disclosures 81, 34S so
Hough q Gear Observation-Disclosures. 92,913 so
King Bridge Co. GO, $40 90
Raymond 4 Campbell .. S9,517 90
Keepers & Ridden ......... S7,S04 90
II. Horton Observation-Disclosures. So, 794 90
No Val. Bridge and Iron Works. -. 81 ,527 90
The designs offered by the Missouri Valley
Bridge Co., H. E. Horton, and Keepers &
Riddell, are very similar and in accordance
with the specifications.
The strain sheet furnished by the Missouri
Valley appears to have been very hurriedly
drawn, and the strains on some of the mem
bers copied incorrectly; otherwise we find
them to practically agree with the specifica-
tons.
So far as we have been able to examine
the sizes Of the several members shown on
specifications.
From :: careful estimate of the cost of the
several parts of this work, I consider the bid
to be from SIS, 900 to $4,000 too high, and
except the fact that the delay necessary to re-
advertise would increase the cost of the work
and might prevent the construction of the
bridge this season, I should recommend that
all the bids be rejected and the work read
vertised
If it is considered best to let the work
there should be new and cor
rected strain sheets filed for
approval, before the contract is executed.
Respectfully,
W. A. SoMERS, City Engineer.
July II. 1884.
