Honorable Jay C. Sloan
Mayor, City of Georgetown
P. 0. Box 409
Georgetown, Texas 78626
lie: Waste Disposal Contract
Project W13C-Tex-703
Dear Mayor Sloan:
We acknowledge with appreciation your notification of August 24 of
the City's approval of the subject contract and providing the other
needed information.
You are correct in the understanding that the Authority agrees to pay
25 percent of the cost of the project and that this amount will be
174
provided from the proceeds of the proposed bond issue. To assure that the
Federally required 25 percent is provided it is proposed to base all
calculations on the total project cost including such items as may not be
eligible for Federal grant participation. It is also suggested that the
contingency figure used in estimating total project costs be a liberal one.
These suggestions are intended to protect the City, since any unused funds
apply to the benefit of the City.
In a telephone conversation of August 25 Mr. Wood verified that the City
still plans to open bids on the project August 30. We will appreciate
receiving as soon as possible a copy of the EPA "Part B" and the City's
final decision as to the purchaser or purchases of the bonds. We will
then submit for the City's formal action the completed contract and bond
resolution in accordance with steps 6 and 7 as listed in our letter of
August 11.
May we specifically point out that the proceeds from the bond sale will not
be available until November 1 at the earliest. unless the City has funds
on hand with which to provide interim financing, care should be taken as
to how soon the construction contract is executed so that the City will not
be faced with payments due the contractor before the money is available.
The cooperation which the City has extended in this matter has been
excellent and is very much appreciated. We sincerely hope that our actions
and coordination have been as good as yours, and trust that the entire ma-
tter will be completed to the satisfaction and benefit of the City.
