August 4, 1970 <br />TO: Members of the Common Council <br />RE: Digester No. 3 - Wastewater Treatment Plant <br />e <br />FROM: John L. Hunter, Director of Utilities <br />\ Advertisements for bids were placed in the Tri- County News and <br />South Bend Tribune on June 26 and July 3, 1970. Bids were received <br />July 20 and referred to Clyde E. Williams & Associates, Inc. and our <br />office for recommendation. The following three bids were received: <br />Slutzky -Peltz Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc, $24,773.00 <br />0. J. Shoemaker, Incorporated 16,851.00 <br />E. L. Zimmerman Co., Inc. 16,405.00 <br />Since E. L. Zimmerman Co., Inc. is low bidder and meets specifica- <br />tions, recommendation was made to the Board of Wastewater Treatment <br />Commissioners on August 3 to accept their bid. The Board agreed and <br />entered into a contract on this date. <br />Objectives of this program are as follows: <br />1. Improve grit removal from the sides of the digester <br />cone and thereby increase the time interval between <br />digester cleanings. <br />2. Improve distribution of sludge input and thereby <br />put into effective use some of digester capacity <br />that is not now effective. <br />
