Habitat for Humanity in the Roanoke Valley's sole mission is just that. Our best estimate is that 1,000 of our resident families live in substandard housing, but do not have the resources to acquire standard housing. We are making this possible for dozens of families. We plan to do much more and have the volunteer labor to do so. What we lack, are building lots and funds to purchase building materials. We have an option on a five acre tract in northwest Roanoke at the east end of Kellogg Avenue. We hope to subdivide this land into 18 building lots. Unfortunately city water service to this tract is via a 2 inch water line. We most respectfully request that the City of Roanoke install a 4 inch water service line in Kellogg Avenue to serve this five acre tract. From there it will be economically feasible for us to develop single family building lots. Our city has helped our work in many ways, but there is much more we can do together. Your early favorable response surely would be appreciated, as we need to continue our home building. Sincerely, William S. Hubard President MARY F.

ROANOKE, VIRGINIA I. Backqround of project is as follows: City Council received two bids from stage equipment contractors for this project on May 11, 1992. Neither firm was registered in Virginia as a Class A Contrac- tor. On May 26~ 1992 City Council rejected both bids, recog- nized the need to procure the work on an emergency basis, and authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with a qualified General Contractor who in turn would employ a qualified stage equipment sub-contractor with experience of working with similar acoustical enclosures who would demolish the Civic Center Auditorium Acoustical Enclosure. The alterna- tives at that time were (1) remove the acoustical enclosure to free up the stage space it was resting upon; or (2) lose the Miss Virginia Pageant which was to start July 1, 1992. City Council, on June 8, 1992, in accordance with Section 41 of the City Charter, ratified a contract in the amount of $95~800.00 with Payne Construction Company, Inc., a general contractor.
