7. NEWIBUSINESS (Cont'd) The memorandum from Mr. James Johnson, Chief Inspector for the Southeast Bureau of Housing, advises that the technical speci- fications call for securing the present lavatory to the wall. To complete the job properly, the staff agrees with the con- tractor and the homeowner that supply lines, shut -off valves, P- .trap, and vent arm should also be installed. The additional cost would be $67.00. The lavatory is located in the second floor bathroom near all of the bedrooms and is not working pre - sently. This presents a serious health problem and should be corrected. Commissioner Chenney asked what the situation physically might be, as the supply labor and materials are for the hookup of the lavatory. Mr. Keith Crighton, Director, Bureau of Housing Program, explained the original inspection was over a year ago, and we have no way of referring to what actually existed as we have none of the inspectors on the staff that were with us at that time. The original inspection, at that time, may have been good. However, the present condition on that lavatory needs the above work to make it operable. It is a needed $67.00, and it is a bargain for the amount of money. Motion was made by Mr. Chenney, seconded by Mr. Wiggins and carried, for the approval of Change Order No. I to Rehabilita- tion Contract No. 34, for an increase in contract amount of $67.00, with an amended contract total of $3,736.77, subject to Legal Counsel approval. e. Change Order No. l to Rehabilitation Contract No. 37, E -7: Approval was requested of this Change Order, which the Con- tractor is requesting in addition to their contract for replac- ing a rotted subfloor under the tub, and fixing the leak and overflow on it to meet the South Bend plumbing code, at 507 East Keasey Street, for an increase in contract amount of $143.80, with an amended contract total of: $5,174.41, and no change in time, Project E -7, Bureau of Housing. The contract is with Ted Combs Decorating & Construction Company. Mr. James Johnson, Chief Inspector for the Southeast Bureau of Housing, in his memorandum, advises the technical specifica- tions call for 1/4" underlayment and tile to be installed in the bathroom. Upon removal of the existing tub, it was found that approximately 10 square feet of subfloor was deteriorated, and that the tub overflow was not connected in a proper manner. As this is the only bathroom in the home, the staff had in- structed Ted Combs Decorating and Construction Company to pro- ceed with the changes immediately in order to provide bath facilities to the family as soon as possible. `The staff re- commends the change order be approved.
