Public Works Contract Awards (memo distributed, tabulations attached) Mr. Gleason introduced Bert Teitzel, City Engineer. Mr. Teitzel noted that the improvements to Willagillespie Road would be financed in part by Lane County, e through the Aid To Cities Program. He said that staff recommended awarding contracts to the low bidders. Public hearing was opened. Wally Chapman, 990 Country Club Road, objected to the proposed improvement of Country Club Road as a connector to Willagillespie Road, because it would improve a portion of the street in front of his property but would leave a second portion unimproved. Mr. Chapman felt that this would be unsightly and would make the property less appealing to a potential buyer. He said he had been advised by staff that the 800 to 900 block of Country Club Road would not be improved in the near future. He therefore questioned the need for paving along his property. Mr. Chapman suggested that the improvements be stopped on Country Club west of Kerns Acres. There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. Mr. Teitzel said that staff would work with Mr. Chapman to address his concerns, but noted that he was not certain whether the project could be terminated where Mr. Chapman had suggested. Councilor Smith referred to the projects on which Dannemiller Construction was the lowest bidder, and noted that there was a large spread between that firm's bids and other bids submitted. Mr. Teitzel said that Mr. Dannemiller had assured staff that he could meet that price. Mr. Teitzel said that the firm had . done other work for the City that was satisfactory.
