CITY OF LUBBDCK MEMORANDUM, INTER OFFICE TO: MR. ROY GRIMES From: Doug Blackburn Subject: Bid #2449 DATE: July 25, 1956 The bid of the Blume System Tree Experts is the lowest bid; however, I recommend the bid of the Asplundh Tree Expert Company be accepted as the best known bid. Thqblume System is a new bidder for us, and while I know nothing against this company, I know many things in favor of the Asplundh Company. Asplundh has trimmed more trees per year for us thela.st two years than anyone ever has before. Asplundh also has the best public relations and public acceptance of any company that has ever trimmed trees for us. In two years, we had only three complaints from customers as to the manner in which the trees were trimmed. This is compared to an average of one complaint from a customer per week that had to be investigated with othei/companies. The difference in the bids is only about $150.00 on the total of $6500.00. This is less tr and one-half per cent. The bid of Eidar is not acceptable since they do not use a brush chipper. Isl Douglas F. Blackburn Douglas F.

In addition to these improvements, a new 1011 water line has been constructed at a total est"ted co of $25,000.00, one-half to be paid for by the Federal Governement and the balance to be paid grit of Airport Revenues. Our future planning contemplates the construction of a runway and taxiway ex- tension during the next fiscal year in order that we will have the facilities to accomodate turbo- prop transports scheduled for service into Lubbock early in 1958. Our planning and programming does not contemplate the need for general revenues or tax monies of any/ind to accomplish this improveme It is feltt, however, that $100,000.00 of warrant authority will. be required to permit this construct with Airport profits to retire the warrants as they come due. It is with considerable pride in the growth and development of Lubbock and the Lubbock Municipal Airport that we, the Airport Board, r:tauest that the City Commission draw a draft on the Airport Revenue Fund in the amount of $23,090.00 as the interest and principal payment due during the year 1955-56 for the retirement of all Airport tax bonds including the 1929,1946, 1948 and 1949 issues. This represents the fourth consecutive year that the Airport has been able to meet the Bonded Debt Retirement payment and with this payment represents a total of $90,132.00 transferred from thg Air- port Revenue Fund to the General Fund for debt retirement purposes.
