APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY: —_ -_City Attorney City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT: Award of Contract - Long Avenue PAGE NUMBER from Deen Road to Sylvania Avenue 1 of 2 6/5/67 C-972 CIP A-73 Council action on the project described below is requested: Project Description Nature of work: The construction of Long Avenue is proposed from Deen Road to Sylvania Avenue, for a distance of approximately 6,000 feet, as shown on the attached map. The roadway w�ll be paved with 7-inch reinforced concrete with a lime treated subgrade at a'width of 60 to 64 feet. The paving improvement was included in the bond program approved by the voters on October 19, 1965 and is scheduled in the 1967 Capital Improvement Program (CIP A-75). The normal procedure for assessment paving is to hold a Neighborhood meeting, conduct a post card survey, and hold the benefit hearing before issuing a work order. It is proposed, however, that the work order be issued upon the award of contract, in advance of the benefit hearing, in order to expedite construc- tion of the project during the good weather months and coordinate with other construction projects in the area. Construction of the project will require more than 100 calendar days. A neighborhood hearing was held on May 29, 1967, at which there were no objections to the proposed paving or assessments. State statutes permit construction to proceed ahead of the benefit hearing, provided the hearing be held before the project is completed and accepted by the City Council. It is suggested that the benefit hearing be scheduled on June 19, 1967. Submission of Bids Bidder Amount Bid Working Days J. L.
