Nine bids were received, with the low bidder being F.M. Frattalone at $1 1 1,306.55. This bid will keep the assessment rate at $22.58 per front foot. Maurer noted that included in the specifications was an alternative bid to add storm sewer improvements to one of the affected alleys. This additional work, if completed, will not change the final assessment amounts by more than a few dollars per lot.
