December 12, 1972 <br />TO: Members of the Common Council <br />FROM: William J. Richardson, P. E. <br />RE: Purchase of Comminutor <br />The Wastewater Treatment Plant Board of Commissioners published a <br />Notice to Bidders requesting bids for a Model 36A Comminutor or <br />equivalent to replace one of three comminutors presentlyin operation <br />at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. <br />Only one bid was received and that was from the FMC Corporation, <br />Environmental Equipment Division, Chicago, Illinois. Their bid was <br />for a Model 36A Comminutor in the amount of $13,964. Inspection of <br />the present unit was made and it was indicated that it is beyond <br />repair. A quotation of approximately $14,000 was submitted for <br />replacement parts and labor. <br />A comminutor is one of three large grinding machines, similar to <br />garbage disposals, reducing the large debris or waste to a small size <br />prior to entry into treatment. This is a vital step in the waste <br />treatment operation. <br />lez' <br />William R chardson <br />Attachment <br />
