Council Letter No. 181
Agenda August 23, 1999
. Issue Statement:
Request for approval of the resolution giving approval of the 2000 - 2003 Community
Health Services Plan for the City of Richfield.
Background:
In 1976, the State Legislature passed the Community Health Services Act. The
purpose of the Act is to develop and maintain a system of community health services
under local administration. Community health services are those services provided to
protect and improve people's health by preventing illness, disease and disease
disability.
Through this Act, Richfield receives community health services subsidy funds from the
State to support the provision of services such as home health, disease prevention and
control, health promotion, family health and environmental health services.
Since 1977, Richfield has contracted with the City of Bloomington for the provision of
personal public health services. The community health services provided in Richfield
meet the requirements of the State Community Health Services Act and have
continually qualified for a subsidy. This state subsidy funding, in part, supports these
community health service programs through the agreement with Bloomington.
The Community Health Services Act requires that each agency prepares and submits a
four-year plan that addresses current and potential public health problems within their
community. Valuable input to the plan was received from members of the Richfield
Advisory Board of Health and other members of the community that were involved in the
planning process.
The plan was reviewed and approved by the Richfield Advisory Board of Health at their
July 19, 1999 meeting. Before the plan is submitted to Hennepin County and finally on
to the State, it must receive the approval of both the Board of Health (City Council) and
the Advisory Board of Health.
Recommended Motion:
Approve the 2000 - 2003 Community Health Services Plan for the City of Richfield.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. By approving the plan, the City will meet the planning requirement necessary to
continue to receive State subsidy funding.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The Council could decide to not approve the 2000 - 2003 Community Health
Services Plan. This would mean that the City of Richfield would not meet the
requirements necessary to continue to receive state subsidy funding.
Discussion/Decision Mode:.
The 2000 - 2003 Community Health Services Plan is being presented for City Council
app~val at this time.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 193
Agenda August 23, 1999
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and consideration of a resolution determining the necessity for the
issuance of general obligation bonds to construct a new community and recreational
center and calling a special election for November 2, 1999.
Background:
In August 1998, the City Council approved the hiring of Short Elliot Hendrickson to
conduct a feasibility study on the proposed recreational facility.. Shortly after, a group of
Richfield citizens called the Multi-Purpose Community Center Task Force assembled to
conduct public meetings, consider the needs and opinions of the community, study the
different options for a new facility and ultimately, report their findings to staff, the
Community Services Commission and the City Council. This group has stayed in close
contact with the Council, the Community Services Commission and the public,
requesting feedback and involvement and reporting their findings.
Recently, the group has renamed the proposed facility the "Richfield Community and
Recreational Center" which, in turn, changed the name of the task force.
After a year of study, the Richfield Community and Recreational Center Task Force has
determined a need for a new facility. With the help of S.E.H. and very active feedback
from the community, the task force has developed floor and site plans for the proposed
facility. The task force is also recommending that the project be funded by a General
Obligation Bond which will require a referendum that could be held in conjunction with
the school board election on November 2.
Based on the findings of the RCRC Task Force, staff is recommending that the City
conduct a public hearing to elicit public input regarding this project and potential funding
through a bond referendum. Attached is a timeline detailing the work of staff and the
task force and distribution of information about the proposed facility. Pending Council
authorization to conduct the referendum election, staff has scheduled several public
information meetings throughout September to provide residents with information about
the proposed facility and the proposed bond referendum election. The meetings would
be held at locations throughout the City at various neighborhood park buildings and
other City facilities (schedule attached).
Also, staff will schedule the first consideration of the ordinance approving a capital
improvement to construct a recreation and community center, pursuant to Richfield City
Charter, Section 8.04 for the September 13 regular Council meeting (with the public
hearing to follow at a later Council meeting).
Recommended Motion:
1. Conduct a public hearing and approve the resolution determining the necessity for
the issuance of general obligation bonds to fund a new community and recreational
center and calling a special election for November 2, 1999.
2. Direct staff to initiate the procedures for the public hearing and consideration of an
ordinance approving a capital improvement to construct a recreation and community
center, pursuant to Richfield City Charter, Section 8.04.
~i
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The Community and Recreational Center Task Force has considered the needs and
opinions of other Richfield citizens in determining the scope, size, features, location
and funding of the proposed facility.
2. Numerous public meetings were held and information was published since the
inception of the Task Force in September 1998 to discuss the proposed facility and
in anticipation of this recommendation.
3. At their final meeting on August 19, the Task Force reviewed these findings and
formulated a formal recommendation based on the meetings, surveys and study of
the last year.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Do not schedule a bond referendum election for the construction of the proposed
facility.
2. Schedule a bond referendum election for a date other than November 2, 1999.
Council may choose to conduct the bond referendum election in conjunction with the
general election in November of 2000.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A notice of this August 23 public hearing was published in the Sun Current. Council
action to schedule a special election for November 2 is requested at this time in order to
meet the statutory requirements. Representatives from the task force will be in
atte ance to present their formal recommendation.

Richfield, MN 55423

Date: August 2, 1999
Mr. Mayor & Members of the City Council of Richfield:
The Community Services Commission had recommended to you in 1998, that a
task force of Richfield citizens be put together to review existing data, gather
citizen input and ascertain whether a new Community Center was needed for our
city.
On September 17, 1998, a group of 30-35 Richfield citizens volunteered and met
for the first time to discuss the merits of such a facility. We have continued to
meet on a weekly basis to research, gather information from our community and
propose a New Community Center for the City of Richfield. Early in our
meetings, we crafted a Mission, Vision and Goals that would work as our tool in
this process:
Mission Statement:
^ Serves as focal point for our Richfield Community activity "A
gem of the City"
^ Welcomes all community members regardless of Age, Race or
Creed
^ Addresses social, health & recreational needs for the greatest
number of citizens
Goals:
^ Economically feasible to build
^ Financially responsible to operate
^ Meets multi-purpose needs now and in the future
^ Is safe, secure and inviting
^ Improves the quality of life for atl Richfield residents through its
programs, facilities and services
We held workshops, distributed informational brochures, held open weekly
meetings, and gave presentations to a variety of Richfield organizations
(including the Chamber of Commerce, League of Women Voters and Visions).
We also presented on cable TV, and distributed information through "Your City"
and The Richfield Sun Current. All of this was done to receive input and
feedback for purposes of conceptualizing aCommunity Center that will address
unmet needs and improve the quality of life in our city.
Following is a recommendation that we wish to take to the voters on November
2, 1999.
Recommendation:
Community Center:
• Congregate Dining
• Senior Programs site
• Multi-purpose rooms
• Crafts
• Small-group meetings
• Sociallnteraction
• Clubs
-1
• Classes
• Adult/Social lounge- areas
• Teen Center
• Child Activity Center
• Drop-in daycare
• Richfield Familink Resource Center
• Recreation staff offices
Health & Recreation:
• Zero-depth recreational pool
• Water play features
• Two. exercise lanes
• Aerobics/exercise studio
• Walking/running track
_ Cardiovascular/weight area
• Locker room (general and family)
Meeting/Banquet Facilities:
• Seating for 500
• Weddings
• Proms & Banquets
• Family gatherings
• Revenue Source
• Multi-purpose meeting rooms
Cost:
$9.5 million in 25 year General Obligation bonds
• $100,000 home/business tax impact - $52/year ($4.33/month)

Location:
Veterans Park
• Portland Avenue & 64th Street (Southeast corner)
• Land use 4.18 acres of 108 acres (3.8%)
Conclusion:
Based on our research, input and feedback from citizens, we are recommending
that the City Council hold a referendum vote on November 2, 1999, for issuance
of a 25 year General Obligation Bond to build the $9.5M Community and
Recreational Center we are proposing.
Sincerely,

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 194
Agenda August 23, 1999
Issue Statement:
Public hearing and authorization of the sale of general obligation tax increment revenue
bonds on behalf of the HRA to fund the Richfield Rediscovered and Transformation
Homes Programs.
Background:
The new construction and transformation of single family homes through Richfield
Rediscovered have been highly recognized and very successful. The vision of the City
Council and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) in 1990 resulted in a
program which has provided more than 100 new homes. In addition, over 50 homes
have been significantly remodeled or "transformed". Council action authorized the start-
up interfund loans from the water/sewer fund and Lyndale/Hub/Nicollet (LHN)
redevelopment district to acquire substandard homes. The momentum from the initial
authorization and the HRA's use of the Development Account in the following years has
sustained the new construction program and allowed the implementation of the
Transformation Homes Program.
To continue the programs, a new funding strategy is required:
• Rapidly increasing property values in the marketplace, even for substandard and
obsolete homes valued at 50 to 60 percent of the community average, result in fewer
properties redeveloped with available funds.
• Administrative changes made in 1997 due to pending tax increment legislation
resulted in the Development Account no longer funding new construction and
transformation.
No other funds are available to continue the program.
Staff has worked with Ehlers & Associates, Inc. (Ehlers) to evaluate all the. options that
are available. It is recommended that the City issue up to $2.8 million in general
obligation tax increment revenue bonds. This action would fund the new construction
and transformation programs for four years. The HRA, through a pledge agreement
with the City, would cover debt service with future Richfield Rediscovered district tax
increment funds, and with housing trust funds provided by the Gramercy and Urban
Village tax increment districts. The bond issue would be structured in two portions. The
first $1.4 million portion would be issued this fall. The second would be issued in
approximately two years. The City Council and HRA would monitor the program activity
in two ways: through the annual budget process and the annual report on tax increment
obligations prepared by Ehlers.
Ehlers' original plan was based on cash flows for two years and is summarized in an
attached memorandum (Exhibit B). Ehlers has recently concluded that a program
spread over four years provides a $20,000 savings in costs of bond issuance, as well as
providing better program continuity. A memo from Ehlers (Exhibit A) describes their
analysis in greater detail. The HRA approved the issuance of $2.8 million at their
August 16 meeting.
The bond would be a general obligation of the City that is 100 percent supported with
tax increment. The risk in issuing general obligation debt by the City is that it might
have to be, in part, supported by general tax levy. However, the proposed structure of
multiple sources of tax increment that have been identified represents an amount
sufficient to cover the required debt service. This structure demonstrates that the risk
has been minimized. This type of financing was successfully used in the LHN in the late
1970's and early 1980's. Because it is to be a taxable bond, it would not impact the
City's ability to issue other debt. The issuance of $2.8 million. in bonds, will provide
approximately 28 new homes and approximately 60 to 80 transformations in the next
four years.
~~ I
The plan to issue additional debt has also included a review of how existing debt is
being managed. A memorandum from Ehlers (Exhibit C), which is dated July 7, 1999,
discusses loan payback. Tax increment generated by existing Richfield Rediscovered
districts is structured to retire the debt based on the schedule presented. The structure
retires all obligations. Sid Inman of Ehlers will attend the Council meeting to answer
any detailed questions about the bond issue, the HRA's pledge of tax increment to the
City bonds, and the management of previous loans made to the program.
Recommended Motion:
Adopt a motion approving the attached resolution which authorizes the sale of general
obligation tax increment revenue bonds to provide a four year funding plan for the
Richfield Rediscovered and Transformation Homes Programs.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. A public hearing on this matter was requested and was properly noticed.
2. Richfield Rediscovered. is important because it removes small, substandard and
obsolete homes and provides new homes for people at all income levels.
3. The Transformation Homes Program is important because a small amount of
incentive deferred loan financing from the HRA helps provide more large, family-
oriented housing and encourages homeowners to make improvements rather than
move.
4. There are no funds to continue the programs from this point forward and the
demand for both programs is high.
5. A four-year funding plan has been developed by Ehlers, reviewed by legal counsel,
approved by the HRA, and found to be the recommended course of action.
6. The HRA, through a pledge agreement with the City, will cover the debt service
from future tax increment districts and land proceeds.
7. The water/sewer fund debt is being repaid on schedule.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Discontinue the programs.
2. Defer action, continuing to evaluate alternative funding sources.
3. Request a modified bond structure.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
A negotiated bond sale would occur 60 days hereafter, and funds would then be
ava~able to the program in the fall of 1999.

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota, has heretofore

MEMORANDUM
TO: Bruce Nordquist, City of Richfield
FROM: Mark Ruff-Ehlers & Associates
DATE: August 4, 1999
RE: Principal Amount for Richfield Rediscovered Financing
The City and HRA are considering the issuance of G.O. Tax lncrentent Variable Rate Bonds for the
continued funding ofthe Richfield Rediscovered program. Previously, the tiRA has discussed a maximum
principal amount of bonds equal to approximately $1,400,000. This amount would carry the program for
approximately two years.
The HRA does have an option -which may save finance costs in the future due to the unique structure of
variable rate debt.. The HRA could authorize the issuance of up to $2,800,000 of principal, which would
carry the program for four years instead of two years. While the initial bond issue would only be enough
to fond the immediate costs of the program ($1,400,000 or less), the higher authorized amount could allow
the City and .yRA to issue "subseries" of bonds in future yeas. The subseries concept is similar to a line
of credit at a bank.. The total amount would not be drawn immediately, but the HRA would have authority
to draw more in the future. The subseries would avoid approximately $20,000 in new legal opinion, rating
agency, and financial advisor costs.
The subseries options does not diminish the HRA's control over the total amomit of debt to be issued. The
HRA could implement a process which requires HRA approval and a new set of financial projections prior
to the issuance of a new subseries of debt.
We do recommend that the maximum amount of debt be increased to $2,800,000 to offer the HRA the most
flexibility in options for future Richfield Rediscovered needs.

FROM: Sid Inman - Ehiers/Pubiicorp Inc.
DATE: July 19, 1999
RE: Richfield Rediscovered Finance Pian
EXHIBIT B
As per your request, we have been reviewing the long term funding. options for. the Richfield
Rediscovered Program. in the payrt the program has had a variety of funding sources and each
year it was uncertain that the project would be funded . Your objective was to find a secure funding
source for at least five years.
At the current time the city's funds are committed to other capital projects and therefore not
available to the HRA for this project. The HRA had to look to its own funds in order to continue the
project.
• Due to the lack of city funds we determined that the HRA would have to borrow the funds needed
from another source. We first determined that we needed to establish base tine data as to the
annual need of the project. We established the goal of 7 homes a year and $200,000 for the
Transformation Program. Following are the sources and uses for the project:
SOURCES
lend Sale Income. 210,000
Other
TOTAL SOURCES 210,000
USES
Acquisition Cost 455,000
Admin and Demo 42000
Other Costs 28*pp0
Transformation Program 200.000
TOTAL USES 725,000
TOTAL GAP 515,000
Funding the project presented two problems. First, we needed to borrow funds upfront for the full
$725,000 needed to complete one year of the project. But, we would receive $210,000 within a
year and a half. Therefore we only needed to borrow long temp for the balance or $51.5,000. 'The
second problem was finding a source of revenue to support the borrowing.

As we proceed with the analysis of the funding sources for future Richfield Rediscovered
Projects, !want to insure that we are all operating under the same assumptions regarding the
amount of tax increment generated, the amount of the outstanding loans and the tenor and method
of loan payback.
• Enclosed for your review is an analysis of all of the Richfield Rediscovered tax increment
districts. At the current time you have 8 districts with 20 separate projects that are generating tax
increment. You will note that we arc projectins that after a deduction for 10'/o administration,
15% for the housing trust fund (currently eaz marked for future Richfield Rediscovered projects)
and .25% for the state auditor,.vou have an annual balance of $55 792 available to }~, offvo
loans. You should be aware that due to the restncttons in pooling this amount can only be spent
for costs incurred within the district. Since all costs have been incurred the only expenses to be
paid back are the city loans.
Also enclosed !or your review is a break down of the balance due on the loans as of I2-31-98 and
a payback schedule. Asper the City Councils direction we have attempted to pay back al! of the
loans. Since there is insufficience funds to pay all principal back we have not applied an interest
rate. The chart shows that by applying the available tax increment to the loans and using a 0%
interest rate, you will repay all of the money loaned from the water and sewer funds and
$977,893.18 of the loans from the Development Account.
Please review this information and confirm if this is your understanding of the agreed solution.
If so let me know and 1 will prepaze individual payment schedules for each loan.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 195
Agenda August 23, 1999
Issue Statement:
Approve first reading of an ordinance that would license and regulate the practice of
therapeutic massage in the City and schedule a public hearing and second reading for
September 13, 1999.
Background:
The practice of therapeutic massage has increased iri popularity in recent years and
staff continues to receive calls from individuals who are interested in providing the
service of massage therapy in our City. Massage therapy is administered to individuals
for the purposes of maintaining, restoring and enhancing health; relaxing musculature;
increasing range of motion, reducing stress; relieving pain; and. improving circulation or
lymphatic flow, or both. It has been found to be very beneficial to those individuals who
may be injured or ill, or as a means of relieving stress and providing relaxation.
Massage therapy has become widely accepted as a legitimate form of massage and
can be obtained through stand-alone salons or in conjunction with hair care
establishments.
Currently. individuals practicing legitimate massage therapy must comply with the City's
commercial adult oriented services ordinance which has been in place for some time
and, when originally drafted years ago, was intended to regulate the saunas in the City
that often consisted of illegal massage based activity. These businesses were often a
"front" for prostitution and other illegal activity.
. The license fees for commercial adult oriented services are currently $1500 for the adult
oriented business license with a $1500 background investigation fee. Individual
employees at those establishments would also be required to be licensed at $50 per
year, with a background investigation fee of $124 per individual. The requirements and
fees of this ordinance are prohibitive for those individuals wanting to practice legitimate
massage therapy and who have requested that the City update their ordinance relative
to the practice of massage therapy and its growing field.
The draft of the therapeutic massage ordinance includes provisions that contain
educational requirements for all massage therapists, as well as zoning, sanitation and
health requirements. Staff from zoning, fire, inspections., health, police and legal have
all reviewed the draft and provided their input and recommendations. It is
recommended that each business be individually licensed at a fee of $500 annually,
with an initial background investigation fee of $500. Individual massage therapist
license fees would be $50, with aone-time background investigation fee of $50.
Therapists must be associated with a business that is licensed in order to practice
massage therapy and must be licensed by the City.
Community Development and Public Safety staffs have also met with a business owner
in the City who has expressed an interest in incorporating massage therapy into his
existing full service hair salon. He has reviewed the draft ordinance and provided staff
with feedback, recommendations and comments relative to the contents of the draft
ordinance.
On August 2, 1999, staff was directed by the City Council at a Study Session to proceed
with scheduling a first reading of a therapeutic massage ordinance. A resolution
~-i
amending Appendix D for fee additions is attached for Council's review but action will
not be taken until the public hearing on September 13, 1999.
Recommended Motion:
Approve first reading of an ordinance that would license and regulate the practice of
therapeutic massage in the City, and schedule a public hearing and second reading for
September 13, 1999.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. Therapeutic massage is a growing field that provides legitimate massage therapy
services to individuals for a wide range of health, stress reduction and relaxation
reasons.
2. Due to the high level of education and insurance requirements for a therapeutic
massage license, it is unlikely this will provide for any illegal prostitution related
activities.
3. There is a comprehensive, restrictive adult oriented ordinance that will remain in
place that will effectively address any illegal prostitution related activities, should
they occur.
Alternative Recommendation:
The Council could decide not to direct staff to proceed with a therapeutic massage
ordinance. This would mean that businesses and individuals wanting to provide
legitimate massage therapy would need to comply with the contents of the current
commercial adult-oriented service ordinance.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
Council is asked to approve first reading of an ordinance that would license and
regulate the practice of therapeutic massage in the City and schedule a public hearing
and second reading for September 13, 1999.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Council Letter No. 196
Agenda August 23, 1999
Issue Statement:
First reading of an ordinance amendment rezoning land between Aldrich Avenue and
one-half block east of Garfield Avenue and 76th to 77th Streets from R (single family
residential), C-1 (neighborhood commercial) and C-2 (general commercial) to PC-2
(planned general commercial).
Background:
CSM Properties, Inc. is proposing to construct a mixed land use development on
Lyndale Avenue between 76th and 77th Streets. All of the property currently zoned C-1
(neighborhood commercial), C-2 (general commercial) and R (single family residential)
would be rezoned to PC-2 (planned general commercial).
The existing commercial and single family uses would be replaced with amixed-use
planned unit development (PUD). The PUD plan consists of the following components:
76,000 square feet of retail and office space on the west side of Lyndale Avenue, 160
units of senior housing and 38,000 square feet of office space on the east side of
Lyndale Avenue, and 32 townhouses along the east side of Garfield Avenue.
The City Council is being asked to initiate the rezoning because the developer does not
have title to all parcels.
The rezoning will become effective on a sub-area by sub-area basis as the developer
comes into title of all the property in a sub-area. To illustrate, sub-area one is between
Lyndale and Garfield Avenues. When the developer has title to all the property in that
sub-area, the rezoning becomes effective. West of Lyndale Avenue is sub-area two.
When the developer owns all the property in sub-area two, the rezoning will become
effective. When the developer has title to all the property in sub-area three east of
Garfield Avenue, and provided that the rezoning for sub-area one is effective, the
rezoning for sub-area three will be effective.
This approach will permit redevelopment of the three sub-areas to move forward on
their own schedule. It also links the rezoning of the area east of Ganteld Avenue to the
area between Lyndale and Garfield Avenues. If for an unforeseen reason the senior
housing project doesn't proceed, the townhouse development east of Garfield Avenue
would not proceed.
Recommended Motion:
Approve first reading of an ordinance rezoning land between Aldrich Avenue and one-
half block east of Garfield Avenue and 76th to 77th Streets to PC-2 and set a public
hearing and second reading for September 13, 1999.
Basis. of Recommendation:
1. The City Council can initiate a rezoning. The rezoning request is then sent to the
Planning Commission for review.
2. The Planning Commission and City Council will also review a planned unit
development plan, final development plan and conditional use permit for the
proposed development.
3. The rezoning will not be effective until the developer holds title to all properties in a
sub-area as described in the attached draft ordinance.
4. The proposed development is consistent with the Lyndale Gateway: A
Redevelopment Plan and Study conducted by the. Planning Commission and
accepted by the City Council in 1996. The Lyndale Gateway study is referenced in
the Comprehensive Plan as a concept for the area.
r~~~
5. This area has been identified for redevelopment since 1985.
6. The HRA approved a Contract for Private Development with CSM for redevelopment
of this area.
Alternative Recommendation:
Deny this rezoning at first reading.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
First reading is set for August 23, 1999. If approved, a public hearing and second
reading will be scheduled on September 13, 1999.

and opened on August 13, 1999. Ingram Excavating has delivered the apparent low bid (a
copy of the bid minutes/tabulation is attached for Council review).

site improvements at the Academy of Holy Angels, accepting a base bid of $197,250.00.
Authorize staff to proceed with any alternates allowed by available funding (Note: Alternate #6,
regarding bituminous walks instead of concrete, is a deduct in the amount of $2,290.40). In
considering these alternates, priority would be placed on Alternate #4, regarding bleacher
installation ($11,800.00), and Alternate #5, regarding turf/sod installation instead of seed
($28,675.00).
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The bids were opened according to legal requirements on August 13, 1999, and bid
amounts and references. have been checked and verified.
2. The City has received a $2,000,000 grant from the State of Minnesota for the Ballfield
Replacement Project, which includes the Holy Angels site. After reviewing the contract
amounts for all of the project sites, staff has determined that there is sufficient balance to
cover this low bid from Ingram Excavating (with the possible addition of some of the
alternates).
3. A lease agreement between AHA and the City defining the joint use and maintenance of the
fields was approved by the Council at the May 24 meeting
4. Holy Angels neighborhood meetings were held in April and May to discuss proposed plans,
design and funding for the project. Neighbors will be notified of the second advertisement
for bid and the revised project timetable.
~-i
5. The City Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized advertisement for
bids for the AHA site improvements at the May 10 meeting.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. Council may award just the base bid in the amount of $197,250.00.
2. Council may reject the bids and direct staff to re-advertise. However, staff does not believe
a better price can be obtained from a reputable vendor.
3. Council may elect to award a contract to another bidder. However, the consultant has
verified bid amounts, checked references, and has recommended award to this bidder.
4. Council may reject bids and direct staff and the consultant to amend the specifications prior
to re-advertising for bids.
