Pavers, Inc. of Iowa City,, Iowa, in the amount of
$292,507.74. The base bid of Metro Pavers, Inc. was

enclosed in the bid offering, to reduce the bid amount
by $13,000.00 if the requirement for maintaining two-

ment has been reached with the Iowa State Highway Commi-
ssion to sign the off -ramps of the Interstate indicating
that Rochester Avenue will be closed during the construc-
tion process. A Work Order will be issued to Metro
Pavers eliminating the requirement to maintain two-way
traffic on Rochester Avenue with a corresponding
deduction of $13,000.00 from the contract.This project
was discussed at the City Council meeting held on
August 14,' 1973, as Item No. 14. The following is a
