<br /> WHEREAS, on March 2, 1984, the City of Everett entered an emergency

<br /> of $18,300; and
<br /> WHEREAS, the final Bridge Rating/Load Rating Analysis, as performed by

<br /> WHEREAS, it is anticipated at this time that there will be considerable
<br /> economy in having the construction phase of the Hewitt, Oakes, and Lombard
<br /> Bridges performed under a single construction contract by a single contractor;
