-2- we would prepare proper plans and specification and require the contractor to confirm his quotation. We anticipate that there will be some Increase In his quotation once these rigid requirements are in place. In addition to the cost by the Contractor, the City would incur costs of about $3,000.00 for making the connection from the storm sewer to the property tine across Lombardy Street. Thus we anticipate that the total cost might be $7,000.00 to $8,090.00. This Is still lower than the $12,000.00 estimated for the ditch solution. This solution would not be as effective as the ditch solution for solving the drainage problem but would meet the acceptance of the residents. - tho“ F.E. Peters City Engineer FEP/kIn aitde
