SOUTH BEND PUBLIC UTILITIES <br />224 North Main Street <br />P.O. Box 1714 <br />MICHAEL L. VANCE <br />Director of Utilities <br />Members of the Council <br />Common Council <br />City of South Bend <br />Dear Council Members: <br />CITY of SOUTH BEND <br />ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />November 3, 1981 <br />There will be presented at first reading of <br />Council Meeting an ordinance approving a contract <br />of Water Works Commissioners and Stremmel & Hill, <br />of $113,985.00. <br />2191284.9322 <br />the November 9, 1981 <br />between the Board <br />Inc. in the amount <br />The proposed contract is a result of Stremmel & Hill's low bid <br />being accepted by the Board of Water Works Commissioners contingent <br />to your approval for the removal and replacement of filter media <br />(anthracite and gravel) and cleaning and repair of filter nozzels <br />at the Edison Park iron removal plant. The plant is currently 15 <br />years old, and no media cleaning or nozzel replacement has taken <br />place. As a result the plant will not operate as it was designed to <br />operate, and polyphosphates must be added to increase the efficiency <br />of the plant. <br />The work covered in this contract is actually Phase I of a two <br />phase project designed to eliminate the use of polyphosphates and, <br />therefore, save the yearly expenditure of about $60,000.00 for this <br />additive. If you have further questions, please feel free to con- <br />tact my office. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael L. Vance <br />Director of Utilities <br />MLV /mtw <br />cc: John L. Leszczynski <br />
