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.

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.
We feel this is a reasonable change which will give an easier run
for these stairs as they will undoubtedly receive a fairly heavy
amount of traffic. Please let us know your pleasure on this
proposal; as we should give the contractor -a decision -as soon as
possible so the stairs can be fabricated.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding these
changes.
Very truly yours,
CRANDELL ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS
