The above equipment being listed <br />on Page BF5 of the bid form. The net contract amount covering <br />the work as outlined above included in this award being <br />$2,512,000. This award is made subject to approval by the <br />Virginia State Water Control Board and U. S. Environmental <br />Protection Agency. <br /> <br />As a part of the "A-95" Review process, through the West Piedmont Planning <br /> <br />District Commission, Council gave consideration to a developer's proposal to <br /> <br />construct a 100-unit apartment complex on what would be an extension of Garden <br /> <br />Lane, in the Chatham Heights area, on a tract of approximately 15 acres. Two <br /> <br />representatives of G. W. L. Housing Corporation, Winston Salem, North Carolina, <br /> <br />were present to provide information about the firm's developmental proposal, <br /> <br />and various questions were posed including the possible meaning of a HUD <br /> <br />request for City comment and the City Planning Commission's concern about <br /> <br />whether there is any possibility that approval of this proposed project <br /> <br />might have an adverse effect on the City's continuing efforts to secure <br /> <br />Federal "Farmers Home Administration" loan guarantees for private construction <br /> <br />of homes. It was finally decided that Council would ask the City Manager to <br /> <br />respond to the HUD letter and notify the WPPDC that Council wishes more <br /> <br />information about this proposed project before a decision as to endorsement <br /> <br />might be forthcoming. <br />
