' The following recommendation of the Public Works Committee was then read: "Honorable Mayor & Common Council City of Rochester, Minnesota ` Re: Job 6255Z Sehl''s First Addition Bids received July 1, 1963 Gentlemen: We have reviewed the bids received on July 1, 1963 for construction of ` sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main, service connections, street grading and surfacing in Sehl's First Subdivision. The owner of the lands, Francis G. Shel, has now requested that'all the proposed construction for Sehl's First Subdivision except the extension of the watermain from the East side of T. H. #63 to the intersection of 24th St. N. E. and 4th Ave. N. E. be` deferred. He has requested-, however, and it is necessary because of the need for City water service toother properties in this area, to construct at this time, the watermain extension. We therefore recommend that the bid,of C. G. Fraser, Inc. be accepted for ' a section of the project at the unit prices bid. This section is described as'follows: "Extension of watermain in T. H. 63 and in 24th St. N.E. from Northern Heights Drive to 4th Ave. N.E., being a portion of the Project for Construction of Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer, Water Main, Service Connections, street grading and surfacing in Sehl's First Sub- division in Rochester, Minnesota". ' The amount of the contract for the pnntion to be constructed is $17,370.11. Respectfully, /s Harold DeVries,' Chairman Public Works Committee /s Larry McCaleb /s Wallace Thomas" Mr. Francis'Sehl was present and•atated that.he had not with the Public Works Committee last Thursday night and at that time thought he was in a position to have the City go ahead and bring the water main over as far as 4th Avenue and service 4th Avenue and 27th Street, but since that w1 time he decided he wanted to put the whole thing -in under private contract, according to the plans that the -City has, but wholly at his own expense. The recommendation now was to construct this project in three phases (1) from -Northern Heights Drive across T. H. 63 to the intersection of 24th Street and 4th Avenue Northeast (2) on 27th Street Northeast across T. H. 63°fronting 413.49 feet of Eldon Johnson's property and (3) down 4th Avenue N. E. and 27th Street N.-E. Phases No. 1 and 2 were to be constructed now and Phase No. 3 later. Alderman Thomas stated that he felt the Council had bent over backwards to try to do this work for Mr. Sehl but in the past one and one-half years they had had to change the plans three different.times. He said just A st Thursday night Mr. Sehl had agreed to the above recommendation and now -he was back in to have it changed again. Mr. Sehl said the main reason for the change now was that he was not able to get finances; he thought he had all the arrangments made but they backed out, now if he did the whole project himself, Mr. C. Penz would back him but would not back him if the contract were is I 59Q Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City -of Rochester, Minn., August 5, . 1963 FY:60'2*f - -- -- awarded to Fraser.` Mr. Eldon Johnson was also present and said he was anxious to have the work done so he could open his new bowling alley. ,After further discussion Alderman DeVries, suggested that contracts for phases 1 and 2 be let tongight (Mr. Sehl to make his cash deposit on No. 1, there would be no cash deposit on No. 2 for Mr..Sehl) and before work could be done on No. 3,Mr. Sehl would have pay for No. 1. Mr. Sehl said he would be able to get financing for No. 1 as proposed. A motion was then made by DeVries, second by Leonard, that the recommendation of the Public Works Committee be approved and contracts be made. All voted in favor thereof. President Tingley then left the meeting and Alderman Bergstedt took over as President pro tem for the balance of the meeting. The recommendation of the Public Works Committee that the bid of.C. G.
