Mr. Gonzalez reportedt that the rebidding of the Alabama Street sidewalks would delay the side- walk project since the Phase II contractor would not agree to simultaneou construction o~ the Pha~e II project and the separate sidewalk proiect. The bid specif~cat~ons tor th~ Phase II s~aewalKs would have to ~nClude a provision that the sidewalk contractor could not contract the sidewalks in the Phase II area until after the Phase II utility and street improve- ments are completed and accepted by the City. He also advised that the delay would probably increase the price of the sidewalk project. Mrs. Norris made a motion to bid all sidewalks again.
