Cement bids for Phoenix dam project face scrutiny
Washington March 1 The Portand Cement Co of Int Kah was among bidders for 200000 tons of cement for the Phoenix dam irrigation project. New York Portland Cement Co offered to supply at 235 delivered per barrel or 2296 a ton, with Denver Portland bid 4.9 10 per barrel. Government may reject all bids after discovering local cement beds could lower cost to about 2 per barrel. Logistics from Globe to dam site require hauling 40 miles over rough roads. bids reflect bond and payment terms, and concerns over delayed payment. Also noted is potential local cement production and mill construction cost savings under $1 million. Additional odd anecdotes appear unrelated.
