WHEREAS, The City recently offered the Spit Dredge Spoils for bid at a minimum bid of $5.00 per cubic yard; and

WHEREAS, It is the intent to use no more than 20,000 cubic yards, as stated, that is available in the pile on the Spit at this time for the project in the amount of one dollar per cubic yard."
