January 26, 1966 To: Town Board of Queensbury, Gentlemen: Since the last Town Board Meeting, when the bids were opened on the bid specifications for a Front End Loader; and the bid of Burton Equipment was low bid, I have again studied the specifications - have also examined a Lorain Loader. I find that it does not meet the specifications pri- marily; that the pivot point is rear of operator' s compartment; which I feel is a dangerous condition and there are several Ether minor factors, including the nearest supply service at Syracuse, New York. — I therefore feel compelled to request the Board to throw out that bid. I respectfully ask the Town Board to accept the next lowest bid of the State Equipment Co, of Albany, N. Y. Respectfully, Bernard J. Codner, Supt. 334 STATE TRAFFIC COMMISSION NOTICE OF ACTION Intr.

General Construction Changes Dear Sir: — The following are changes we have ordered done to avoid any hold up in the progfess of the work with the cost as submitted by Skyway Construction Co. : G? - (Crandell Associates Architects Letter - continued) 1. Additional height for the retaining wall to meet proposed grades. $105.15 2. Additional pilasters in the West and North walls to provide stiffening for these walls where earth will be brought near the first floor level. $132.64 We would appreciate approval of these items so that we can issue the necessary change order to the contract. We have received a proposal from Skyway Construction Co. , to add an additional. tread and riser for the main stairs of $129.00.
