Mr. Geo. G. Grant, Acting City Manager, Austin, Texas. Dear Sir: I have studied the bids received for the grading and gravelling of Shoal Creek Boulevard between 17th and 24th Streets and I find that although Brown & Root presented the lowest bid for grading only, that they specified that they would not accept the work unless awarded the gravel contract also. A consideration of the bids for grading and gravelling show that Holland Page is the low bidder for the two jobs combined and that he is next to low bidder on grading alone. According to reporte as to Park Bond Issue funds available it appears that we will be able to complete the drainage structures and the grading of the Shoal Oreek Boulevard between 12th and 24th Streets on the east side of the creek and that we can complete a portion of the first course of gravel but will not be able to entirely complete the gravel. The bids as submitted provide payment on the unit price basis and it has been the expressed desire of the Park Board to complete the road as far as funds are available at this time. I recommend that the grading contract be awarded to Holland Page and that the gravelling contract also be awarded to Holland Page as far as available funds permit. The grading of the road and the gravelling of the base course as submitted by Holland Page amounts to the sum of $2362.00. Respectfully submitted, (Sgd) Orin E. Metcalfe, City Engineer.
