k w � N Acting City Manager Greene requested the Council to amend the bid awarded November 8, 1982 to the Lester Brothers for the demolition and removal of debris from 9 tornado damaged properties. He stated the Lester Brothers would not pick up work orders and proceed with the work and recommended that their work be given to V. L. Ferris Construction Company, the only other bidder on the work. He pointed out that this would result in an increased cost for the work and word had not been received from FEMA as to whether they would part- icipate in the extra cost. Following discussion, Councilman McGee made a motion to award the bid to Ferris Construction Company with FEMA approval for participation in the extra cost. Councilman Wilson seconded the motion which carried 5 ayes, 0 nays. Acting City Manager Greene advised the Council that the slip lining of the sewer outfall line had been completed and waste water was flowing through it. In addition he informed them that the City had not been selected to participate in the Main Street Program for 1983. Mayor Graham announced they would receive an update on the Ilfiltration/ Inflow Project. John Buss, Project Director, presented a progress report on the three groups working on the project as follows: CRS, in charge of design of the Waste Water Treatment plant, was on schedule and would have final plans ready for submission by March 1st, 1983. The Chien Group, in charge of lift station design, was also on schedule and would also meet a March 1st deadline for plans. The Step II Staff, he said, would not be able to meet the unofficial March 1st deadline for line design plans set by the State. He cited the problems they have, including the abesence of a professional Engineer to over see the project. Councilman Williams entered the Council room and took his seat at the Council table. R
