Cannon, city engineer, is preparing specifications specifica-tions for alternate bids for the Twin Lakes dam and reservoir to be built on the lakes in Biff Cottonwood canyon. Bids trill be called for in tho near future. Last siimmor the city called for bid on this work and received but two bids, both of which were rejected because they exceeded the ensrineer's estimate of "cost. Since then the city has considered con-sidered another form of construction, and consequently will advertise for bids on both rubble concrete and reinforced concrete construction. The engineer's estimate of cost is $72,000. Most of the excavation work has been done already, so that the con-struction con-struction of the dam can be begun just, as soon after the contract is let as the weather permits. |
