"Hon. Mayor & Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn.
Gentlemen:
On Nov. 2, 1947, plans, specifications and estimate of
cost were submitted for the construction of a Channel Change
in Bear Creek thru Slatterly Park. The City Engineer's
preliminary estimate of cost for the excavation of
approximately 2000 lineal feet of channel change was

Bids were called for by the Common Council to be opened
on November 17, 1947. only one bid was.received which
asked $14, 615. 00 to do the above work. This bid was rejected
and the Common Council dire,.cted the City Engineer's Department
to do this work by force account.
This Department has completed the excavation work for
$6sm.93. -
The dressing -up of slopes will be done when the frost
goes out of the _ground. It is estimated that less than
$500.00 will be required to complete that phase of the
work. This will bring the total cost to approximately
$7310.00. In other words, the common Council will save
the Taxpayers over $7300.00 because this work was turned
over to the City Engineer's Constructioa Department.
Respectfully,
Francis J. Magnuson
