Construction Company. The work to be performed in subject project is that agreed upon by the City in connection with the improvement of the Home Federal Savings property. An emergency situation arises from the following: 1. The work must be coordinated with curb and gutter construction by the developer and traffic signal relocation by the City's maintenance contractor. 2. The work must be completed prior to October 7, 1977 when the Oak Tree thoroughbred racing season starts at Santa Anita Park at which time there will be a daily increase of more than 20,000 vehicles at Baldwin Avenue. Failure to complete by that day will result in reduced roadway width due to work area barricading. 3. A formal bidding process would require a minimum of 28 days from this date before award could be. made. Construction then would be during the racing meet ~ /;?:(h II g;?-2&'Y/ CHESTER N.
