City of South Bend <br />Public Works <br />Memorandum <br />To: Board of Public Works <br />City of South Bend <br />1316 County City Building <br />227 West Jefferson Blvd. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />From: William LeFever <br />Supervisor -Operations <br />Water Works - Water Treatment <br />830 North Michigan St. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Subject: Door and Frame repair for Erskine, Edison, Carriage Hills, Cleveland South, and Olive <br />Stations <br />Date: August 17, 2023 <br />Dear Board Members: <br />The Division of Water Works - Water Treatment, North Pumping Station is requesting approval for a crucial <br />infrastructure enhancement project. We are addressing the issue of deteriorating doors and frames at several <br />of our water filtration plants: Erskine, Edison, Carriage Hills, Cleveland South, and Olive. <br />Over time, the doors and frames at these filtration plants have suffered significant wear and tear due to <br />weather exposure, frequent use, and the presence of chemicals. The proposed door and frame repairs at the <br />specified sites hold the potential to substantially extend the structural integrity of these buildings while <br />simultaneously bolstering their security measures. <br />After evaluation of available options, we have identified Action Glass as the most suitable contractor to <br />undertake this project. Notably, their competitive pricing at $37,751.00, combined with their swift turnaround <br />time and comprehensive experience, places them at the forefront of potential candidates. Brown and Brown <br />quote $70,900.00, Ziolkowski Construction $62,139.00 to complete the project. <br />We kindly request your prompt consideration and approval of this proposal, as the timely execution of these <br />repairs will contribute significantly to the sustained functionality and longevity of these critical facilities. <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter. We eagerly anticipate your positive response and stand ready to <br />provide any further information or clarification you may require. <br />Sincerely <br />William LeFever <br />Supervisor -Operations <br />Water Works - Water Treatment Department of Utilities <br />547-235-9484 <br />wl e Feveri_wso Eichbendin. go <br />
