The request of the Fire Chief for authorization to recondition the

The contract with St. Luke' s Hospital in Cedar Rapids to conduct
audiometric testing on approximately 290 city employees at a cost
of $11. 45 per employee for testing plus an additional $1.05 per
report for data input fee was reviewed. Total estimated cost of
this program is $3,400. Bids were solicited from Allen
Occupational Health and Covenant at a cost of $17 .70 per person and
$24.00 per person, respectively. Moved by Angel, seconded by
Wright that authorization be given to enter into said agreement
with St. Luke' s Hospital specifically because said bid was low.
Motion carried.

engineering services contract with Clausen Engineering was

reimbursed. Moved by Wright, seconded by Angel that authorization
be given to enter into said agreement. Motion carried.
