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: Tony Burnside <br />Supervisor -Operations <br />Water Works - Treatment Division <br />830 N. Michigan St. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Subject: Repair of Edison Filtration Plant Stairs <br />Date: August 29, 2023 <br />Dear Members of the Board, <br />Water Works Treatment Division is requesting approval for the repair of the front entry stairs at our <br />Edison Filtration Plant. The stairs are cracking and crumbling in spots presenting a safety hazard for those <br />requiring access to the facility. <br />After looking into our available options, we have identified Ziolkowski Construction Inc. as the most <br />suitable option. Most notably their work will include treating the_ underlying rebar before patching <br />(addressing the root cause of the problem), sealing the concrete and applying a textured coating. They <br />will also guarantee their work for a total of $6088.00. <br />Three other companies were also contacted. Gibson and Lewis quoted a patch job that did not include <br />painting or texturing, which would be desired for safety reasons, and they would not guarantee their <br />work for $1946.00. Gibson and Lewis also quoted a full replacement of the stairs for $13,720 which they <br />would guarantee. We also attempted to contact Slatile, they were unresponsive. We also contacted CNS <br />Restorations, but they were not taking any more jobs for this year. <br />Ziolkowski may cost more for the patch, but they will cost less than replacing the stairs completely and <br />they will do the job properly and guarantee their work. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. We eagerly anticipate your response and are <br />ready to provide you with any further information or clarification you may require. <br />Sincerely, <br />T <br />Tony Burnside <br />Supervisor -Operations <br />Water Works Treatment Division <br />574-235-9484 <br />
