CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Jerry J. Miller <br />Mayor <br />Rollin E. Farrand, Sr., P. E. <br />Director, Public Works <br />South Bend Common Council <br />County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />Gentlemen: <br />Reply To; Department of <br />Public Works <br />January 8, 1974 <br />There will be presented for first reading an ordinance appropriating a total of <br />$11,805.00 from the Revenue Sharing general fund. This money would be used to <br />defer the costs of purchase for two pieces of equipment on which bids were open- <br />ed on the 7th of January, 1974 by the Board of Public Works. The low bids are <br />as follows: <br />1 each Ford tractor, Model 51024C diesel tractor $ 7,100.00 <br />1 each Tiger Taylor side mounted rotary mower with 5' cut 4,705.00 <br />Total $11,805.00 <br />As you are aware, an environmental clean -up program was run last summer through <br />revenue sharing funds which you so kindly appropriated. We feel the program was <br />a success and if any shortcoming showed up it was the lack of availability of equip- <br />ment to be used in the program. This two part piece of equipment will enable us to <br />clean more lots, and also to include those with denser growth. We would feel that <br />this piece of equipment can also be used by the Bureau of Streets in cleaning up <br />some of the roadsides on our more rural appearing streets. <br />If you have any further questions Mr. Rollin Farrand, Director of Public Works,will <br />be glad to answer them. <br />Respectfully, e <br />Michael L. Vance - Fiscal Officer <br />Department of Public Works <br />MLV /mkm <br />
