The board at its semi-monthly meeting last night approved the engineers' plans, specifications and estimates for these structures, which were submitted by Engineer Frank Peacock, in the absence of Engineer Erik Floor who is in Washington with PWA State Engineer Latenser for a conference with PWA officials regarding the district's application for additional funds which was filed some time ago incident to the proposed plans for interconnections with the Platte Valley district.

The items included in the new call for bids are the ones on which the original bids were rejected recently as being above the engineers' estimate, except that some small road culverts adjacent to several of the larger drainage culverts are included in the new call along with the big culveits. On the first occasion, contractors were asked to bid on the job as a whole. In the readvertising for new bids, however, it is divided into a number of separate items. Contractors will now bid separately on each of the big culverts (the small adjacent ones being included with the big ones); the siphon, the weir, and the drainage ditch excavation work. The district reserves the right to let contracts on the items individually, or as a whole, whichever way the best prices are obtained.

Because of the additions of the small road culverts and the tendency toward rising prices, the total estimate for all the items has been raised to $195,182.50. The first time it was $165,900. The estimates on the individual items are: Culverts, $13,290, $9,228, $20,135, $22,850 and $11,341.50, respectively; siphon, weir, excavation work, sault.
