Dear Mr. Beardslee:
Montana Offices: Post Office Box 126
Laurel, Mont. 59044 • (406) 252-9326
Thank you for your invitation to bid on 125,000 gallons of MC-250 to MC-3000
and 20,000 gallons of MC-30 to 70 for the City of Kalispell for the coming year.
We are sorry we are unable to give you a quote.on MC Cutback because of the
energy shortage. We are enclosing a copy of a letter that we have been sending
out to government agencies stating our position regarding cutback asphalts.
In lieu of the MC-250 to MC-3000 bid requested, we would be happy to quote the
following:
Approx. 125,000 Gallons CMS-2S Emulsified Asphalt (Mixing Grade)
........ $44.10 per ton (Approx. $0.1822 per gallon) ..........................
We do not have a suitable substitute for MC-30 to 70, and therefore, we are not
submitting a bid on Item No. 2.
The above price is F.O.B. Kalispell, Montana, via tank truck in minimum loads
of 46,000 lb. (23 Tons). This material will meet the Montana Highway Commission
' specifications.
Please Note: We are quoting by dollars per ton since all freight rates are now
on a per ton basis. We weigh all trucks and the tonnage is a direct reading so
we do not have to use conversion factors to go back to cents per gallon. We
would invoice you on a dollars per ton basis in 1973.
We would appreciate the opportunity to supply the City of Kalispell.
Yours very truly,

`f 8 4, The energy crisis confronting our nation is causing us to find ways of
stretching our available supplies.
We can realize additional gasoline and diesel fuel by discontinuing the
use of these products as diluents in 11C and RC Cutback Asphalt for road
construction and maintenance. Last year our refinery used 2,500,000
gallons of diesel fuel and gasoline to liquify MC and RC Cutbacks, We
can save this fuel by substituting asphalt emulsions made with water
and chemicals for these cutbacks. Engineering field experience shows
that for most needs we can provide an emulsion which will successfully
replace the cutbacks.
We are requesting that your agency consider changing to asphalt emulsions.
This request is for contracts presently held by-CENEX and any future work
that you may have scheduled.
After you have had time to review this request, we want to meet with your
agency to determine the number of projects which can be changed. All
changes from MC and RC to the appropriate asphalt emulsion will be made
at no additional cost.
Another consideration is the environmental aspects of using an asphalt
emulsion which does not release gaseous hydrocarbons into the air during
the curing process.
If you have any questions between now and the time we contact you, please
call us.
Yours very truly,

Gentlemen:
We are in receipt of your call for bids on road oil for the city
of Kalispell. We regret at this date that we are already committed
for our product in 1973. We appreciate your invitation to quote

we would be very much interested in trying to obtain your business
for 1974.
There is only so much asphalt available in each barrel of crude
oil charged and although we make it the year round, we try to
dispose of our production at as early a date as possible.
Again, we thank ,v6U 4? JOUP invitatIbh Md WO6ld 6100ee16ts

In entering flow of traffic because of the extra space (4 times as much as a car) .
needed for a bus to enter traffic flow - that some of the busses would necessarily
alter their routes because of the one-way.

MAYOR VETO -

City Council
City of Kalispell
Ladies and Gentlemen
Referring to the Council action approving the. Employment Committee's wage proposal
which recommended $30.00 per Month per man for the Police Dept. in addition to the,
percentage raise offered the rest of the departments, I wish to veto this action.
I feel the differential as offered (1) is unjustified,. (2) will disrupt the harmony
that has prevailed between the departments, (3') will call for money we do not have and
would call for other raises in excess of 5.5% which I consider a practical maximum.
We must pick up on our regular payroll the employees presently on: E.E.A. funds..
These employees represent a major payroll increase.
With our mill raising about $11,000 we will have to pare our budget much below the
requests.
Sincerely,
487

a better operating city. The police department should be up -graded and given support

Mr. Francis Bitney, Parking Commission Chairman, reminded the council of the
recommendation of the commission to acquire property on the east side for parking

have indicated that they would consider the sale of 200 ft. frontage lot for
$26,000.00 with $6,000.00 down and the balance over 5 year period at 7k% interest.
The Methodists would like to have the first opportunity to purchase the lots if the
City should let the lots go - they would want the lots blacktopped by 1974 if the
City does purchase the lots for parking. They request an offer on or before July
25th and would require 30 days for acceptance or rejection of the offer.
The Parking Commission would like to make offer of $25,000.00 plus real estate
commission and requests the City authorize the parking commission to make this offer.
