White Road to Brentwood Stair. On August 18, 1980 (M&C C-5219), the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract with Rady and Associates, Inc., for design services (City Secretary Contract No. 11246). The cost of the right-of-way required for this project exceeded the original estimates and 'the funds that initially were allocated, and thus reduced the funds available for construction. Consequently, on April 24, 1984 (M&C C-8344), the City Council authorized the reorganization of the project for advertisement and construction in the following order as construction funds permit: 1. Cooks Lane I.H. 30 Interchange (Unit I) 2. Cooks Lane from Brentwood Stair Road to IH-30 Interchange (Unit II) 3. Cooks Lane from I.H. 30 Interchange to John T. White Road (Unit III) Bids were received on priority items one (1) and two (2) above on November i, 1984. This communication pertains to priority item two (2) only. Improvements This segment of Cooks Lane will be improved with 7" thick reinforced concrete pavement with attached concrete curb and driveway approaches where required. Storm drain improvements consist of two reinforced concrete box culverts and 770 feet of reinforced concrete pipe and appurtenances. In addition, required street lighting will also be installed in a future contract. However, adjacent property owners will be assessed for the street lighting at this time based on the engineer's estimate. Receipt of Bids The project was advertised for bids on September 27 and October 4, 1984, and the following bids were received on November 1, 1984, with 270 working days allotted to complete the project.
