City considers cheaper street work plan and bids
Alderman Boynton proposes a unified process where the city engineer drafts specifications and cost estimates for street projects in San Antonio, bids are invited by the city clerk, and contracts awarded only if cheaper than city labor. The measure also requires council approval and limits on new construction until funding is secured. Aldermen Mauermann seeks asphalt work funding but the second reading fails. An ordinance orders bids for a city depository.
