H.          Approval of Plans and Scope of Work for Sandia Creek Drive, Phase I 

General Manager Rogers described two alternatives in the scope of this project.

He discussed which funds would be used to supplement the project if the larger scope of work is approved.  

The Board reviewed the scope of the project, the portions that could be deleted to reduce the cost, and the prudence of adding additional work beyond what was originally planned. 

Motion was made by McBride, seconded by Buescher, to authorize the larger  scope of work for Sandia Creek Drive, and to adopt Resolution No. 02-14: 

Approving the Plans and Scope of Work for the 2002 Rehabilitation of Sandia Creek Drive, Phase I
