Department of Public Works <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />INTER- OFFICE MEMO <br />Date May 31, 1973 <br />TO: James Roemer, Legal Depar ment <br />FROM: William J. Richardsonk <br />SUBJECT: VV" <br />Appropriation Request <br />I would like to request an appropriation ordinance be drawn for the <br />amount of $400.00. This money is to be appropriated from surplus <br />money that has been paid into the General Fund from the Division of <br />Engineering. The money has been generated through the fees that <br />have been charged for plans and specifications for the numbrous <br />construction projects that we handled. The appropriation will be <br />used to purchase blue print paper. These fees have not been computed <br />into Miscellaneous Revenue into the City in the 1973 budget. <br />Under our new procedure, working with consulting engineers, we do <br />not pay the consultant for printing the plans and specifications. <br />We find that this is a definite savings to the City when we handle <br />all of the administration of the bidding. That is why we put a <br />charge on the plans and specs, so that we can cover our costs of <br />printing them for bidding. The normal procedure used in the past <br />when the consultant printed the plans and specifications is that we <br />pay them for them plus about 2z times the costs to cover their pay- <br />roll, labor and miscellaneous items. As I say, under the new pro- <br />cedure, we find that this is a big savings. I want to re- emphasize <br />that this money has not been computed into the Miscellaneous Revenue <br />for the City. <br />By copy of this memo to you, I am also notifying the Council of this <br />request so I don't have to send them an additional letter. Thanks <br />very much. <br />CC: Members of the Common Council <br />Virginia Guthrie <br />Mrs. F. Mutzl <br />e Yyy <br />
