PASSED AND ADOPTED at a Special Meeting of the City Council held this 27th day of June, A.D., 1951. /S/ J. L. Saunders Mayor ATTEST: /s/ Ruth R. Smith City Clerk (Seal) 6/27/ 1 129 Upon motion of Councilman Roth, seconded by Councilman Kab- let, and unanimously carried, the foregoing Resolution No. 802 was passed and adopted as read. City Manager Lovelace then explained the dif£erent methods of replacing N.M. 1st Street, after the completion of the storm drainage ~roject, from N.E. 2nd Avenue east to 280' west of the west line of the Canal, as follows: 1. The street can be restored to its original width and condition by the Contractor, without cost to the City. 2. The present street can be scarified, patched and re- surfaced, providing a new, jointless 24' street, at an additional cost of approximately ~1,500.00. 3. The street can be widened to 30', and resurfaced its entire length at a cost of approximately ~ 2,300.00. If the street were paved from curb to curb between 4th and 5th Avenues, and between 6th and 7th Avenues, this would be an additional cost of about ~715.00. Mr.Lovelace recommended that the Street be widened to a width of 30' from N.E. 2nd Avenue to 7th Avemue, and beyond 7th Ave. it be restored by the Contractor to its original condition and width, without cost to the City. This would reduce the total expense to the City to approximately ~1,800.0¢~, which could be paid from the street maintenance and resurfacing budgeted item, in which there is a balance of over this amount, and that con- tract be awarded to Jack E. Carver, the Contractor installing the storm drains through this street at the present time. A written recommendation was filed by the City Manager, which was read as follows: "qune 27, 1951 To the Mayor and City Council City of Delray Beach Delray Beach, Fla. Gentlemen: Since the contract for the storm sewer project on N.E. 1st Street has been placed with Mr. Jack E. Carver, and since that contract involves a partial resurfaci~g of N.b~. 1st St., and since a complete resurfacing of N.M. 1st St. is now con- templated, the net situation suggests that the street improve~ ments can be made to the best advantage of the City of Delray Beach. by awarding the supplemental contract to Mr. Carver, whose men, equipmer~t and materials are already on the street. Another advantage to having Mr. Carber do it hinges on the fact that he can do it all at once, giving jointless surfaces, where- as two contractors would involve several running joints. It is therefore requested that your honorable body pass a resolutio~c authorizing the City Manager tS enter into a con- tract with Mr. Carver for the additional improvements c~ntem- plated in the supplemental plans and specifications, witjaout securing competitive bids. Very truly yours, CITY OF DEL~kY BF~CH /S/ ROB~RT LOVELACE, City Manager" 6127/51 After discussion by the Council, the following Resolution was presented, and same was read in Full: RESOLUTION NO. 803 A RES©LUTION OF' THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING WRITTEN REC0,~4ENDATIONS OF THF~ CITY TO AWARD CGNTRACT FOR Tile WIDENING AND PAVING OF CERTAIN PORTY0NS OF N.
