CITY of SOUTH BEND <br />ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND. INDIANA 46601 <br />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 />June 3, 1981 <br />219/284 -9322 <br />There will be presented for your consideration at first reading <br />of the June 8, 1981 Council Meeting an ordinance appropriating <br />$110,000.00 from the Water Works Depreciation Fund. This approp- <br />riation will be used for the initial work needed in the clean -up of <br />the Olive Street well field. <br />The first phase of that clean -up process will include the <br />installation of an interceptor well system designed to reverse the <br />flow of contamination in the field. On June 1, 1981 the Board of <br />Water Works Commissioners opened sealed bids on the proposed work and <br />awarded, subject to your approval and funding, a contract to the firm <br />of Peerless- Midwest, Inc. in the amount of $102,102.00 as they were <br />the low bidder. <br />It is anticipated that this work upon commencement will be <br />completed in fifty (50) working days. As I'm sure the Council is <br />aware, the City's Legal Department is currently in negotiation as to <br />liability and possible reimbursement for this clean -up. It was felt <br />that efforts must be made to get the field into operation now as <br />opposed to waiting for responsibility to be established. <br />I appreciate the Council's review of this matter and will be glad <br />to answer questions or provide additional information which may be <br />required. <br />Sincerely, <br />/WUL Q e <br />Michael L. Vance <br />Director of Utilities <br />MLV /mtw <br />cc: John Leszczynski <br />
