Mayor Lozano announced the scheduled bid opening on the following engi-
neering project:
Extension of Interceptor Sewers 34-A, Section 4 and 34-B, Section 1.
The project includes the extension of sanitary sewer trunk lines from
the present location just south of Interstate 37 near Sharpsburg Road
to Hearn Road. The trunk line is to be oversized to accommodate addi-
tional flow from Wood River Subdivision near F.M. 624. The developer
will pay a portion of the cost for oversizing. The sewer extension,
which includes pipe sizes from 10" to 18", was included in the 1977
bond program.
City Manager R. Marvin Townsend requested that Mr. James K. Lontos,
Director of Engineering and Physical Development, conduct the bid opening.
Mr.:Lontos opened and read the bids from the following companies:
Cactus Utilities; Isles Construction Company; Heldenfels Brothers; and Maverick
Construction, all of Corpus Christi, and stated that all companies had submitted
the proper bid security checks.
Mayor Lozano noted that Cactus Utilities was the apparent low bidder and
stated that the bids will be tabled for 48 hours pursuant to the requirements of
the City Charter and referred to the staff for tabulation and recommendation.
Mayor Lozano then thanked all the companies who had participated in the
bidding.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Mayor Lozano called for the City Manager's Reports. City Manager Townsend
presented the following items and recommended that:
a. Bid award for books by mail service from September 1, 1978 through
August 31, 1979 be made to AMERICAN ECONO-CLAD SERVICE, Topeka, Kansas
on the basis of the only bid received of approximately $11,457. 'The
service is a South Texas library systems program to circulate paperback
books to individuals in rural areas without library service. The contract
includes the purchase of paperback books, printing of catalogs, mail bags
and related supplies.
b. Annual supply contract for ductile iron pipe and bends be awarded to the
following firm on the basis of low bid:
AMERICAN CAST IRON PIPE COMPANY, Dallas
Lot IA (9 Items) Ductile Iron Pipe 4" thru 12" $ 48,822.00
Lot II (9 Items) Ductile Iron Pipe, 16" thru 42" 118,115.00
(1 Item ) Ductile Iron Pipe, 48" 4,617.00
Lot III (12 Items) Mechanical Joint Bends, 30" thru 48" 114,702.80
$286,256.80
On the first lot, it is recommended that ductile iron pipe be purchased
instead of cast iron pipe because the mills are phasing out cast iron
pipe and it may not be available for the full contract. Ductile iron
pipe is approximately $7,400 cheaper than cast iron. Special tools to
cut ductile iron will have to be purchased at a cost of approximately
$4,000 resulting in a net savings of $3,400. Bids were received from
two firms.

The terms and conditions of these franchise renewals will remain as the
original ones. The current franchises expired September 13, 1978 and
are being continued on a month-to-month basis. It is further recommended
that the change in ownership of Corpus Christi Transportation Company
from Mrs. Leroy Crow to Mr. Harold Hitaski and Mr. Larry Winnie be approved.

are three years old, which is when the bond may be called.
