Session 1319, Minutes Page 7 November 22, 1982 Mr. Schoomer moved acceptance of the low bid. Mr. Levy seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. SALE OF 1969 LADDER TRUCK The City Manager said the City had advertised for some time for bids for the sale of the 1969 Seagraves ladder truck, which became surplus after the City's acquisi- tion of an aerial tower vehicle. No bids were received over the minimum amount; however, the City of Neosho, Missouri proposed to purchase the truck for $50,000, contingent on the body being brought up to good condition by removal of rust and being painted. Bids were solicited from three companies with facilities for re- painting this vehicle, with two bids received, as follows: Whiteline Wrecked Truck Rebuilders $ 6,576 Degel Fender and Body Works $12,535 Mr. Ollendorff recommended that the 1969 Seagraves ladder truck be sold to the City of Neosho, Missouri for $50,000, and further, that the low bid of $6,576 be awarded to Whiteline Wrecked Truck Rebuilders for repainting the ladder truck. Mrs. Thompson moved approval of both recommendations. Mr. Levy seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. LINDEN AVENUE CURB AND GUTTER IMPROVEMENTS The City Manager said the City of Clayton, following procedures identical to Univer- sity City's, had taken bids for concrete curb and gutter work on their side of Lin- den Avenue. Since the prices were very favorable, Mr. Ollendorff recommended that the City Council authorize payment to the City of Clayton in the necessary amount (approximately $15,000) to pay Noonan Construction Company for work accomplished on the eastern curb line of Linden Avenue in University City, from the south city lim- its to Kingsbury Boulevard. Mr. Ollendorff also noted that all residents on Linden had signed an agreement to pay their share of the special assessment for this work. Mrs. Metcalfe moved approval.
