SOUTH BEND PUBLIC UTILITIES <br />224 North Main Street <br />P.O. Box 1714 <br />MICHAEL L. VANCE <br />Director of Utilities <br />Mrs. Beverlie Beck <br />President <br />Common Council <br />City of South Bend <br />Dear Mrs. Beck; <br />CITY ®f SOUTH BEND <br />ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />June 30, 1983 219/284 -9322 <br />I've filed the attached ordinance for first reading of the <br />July 11, 1983 Common Council meeting. The ordinance when passed <br />would give the Common Council's approval fo a contract between the <br />Board of Water Commissioners and Geyer Construction and Development <br />Company of Lakeville.in the amount of $48,998.88. This contract is <br />the result of the Board advertising for bids for the construction <br />of the Edison flow equalization sewer system and Geyer Construction <br />and Development being the low bidder. <br />As you are aware, the Edison filtration plant clearwell is <br />currently being enlarged. As we are currently having problems with <br />sewer overflow as a result of plant backwashing it is reasonable to <br />assume that the enlargement of the clearwell will further aggravate <br />the problem. With this in mind we have designed the sewer system <br />modification described in this ordinance as a solution. Basically <br />we are redistributing the flow from the plant into five sewer systems <br />as opposed to it releasing into one system as currently is the case. <br />Funds are available for this work in the Water Works Depreciation <br />Fund. The current appropriation balance in account 416.0 Building <br />and Structure Improvements is $67,393.75. <br />If you have further questions, please feel free to contact my <br />office. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael L. Vance <br />Director of Utilities <br />MLV /mtw <br />Enclosure <br />
