LUECKE, MAYOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORDS <br />GAY A. GILOT, P.E. <br />DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />March 24, 2009 <br />Mr. Derek Dieter, <br />President <br />South Bend Common Council <br />In Re: Ordinance Appropriating $1,000,000 for Digester Cleaning and <br />Rehabilitation. <br />Dear President Dieter: <br />The attached ordinance is offered for Council consideration. It deals with new <br />appropriations from Sewage Works enterprise fund (641) to the "Other Contractual" line <br />item in the 2009 Sewage Works budget for wastewater. Sewage Works Enterprise Fund <br />641 has the necessary monies to cover the requested appropriation. <br />The total dollar amount to be appropriated is $ 1,000,000. These funds will be <br />primarily used to cover the cleaning, repair and rehabilitation of two of our anaerobic <br />digesters. These digesters play a critical role in the final processing of biosolids at the <br />plant and have not been cleaned and rehabilitated in over 20 years. <br />We believe this to be an infrequent maintenance responsibility and did not have <br />engineering estimates until January of 2009. Our hope is to complete this task during the <br />2009 construction season. <br />I will make the formal presentations and am available anytime if you have <br />questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~.c:~-v <br />ohn ~ . illon <br />APR - $ 2009 <br />,i01`tl V~O.3E'D, It~i. <br />CTtY CL~R!t, <br />ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES CENTRAL SERVICES STREETS <br />l ~-- .~.- "~ ~: -WATER WORKS <br />~ <br />CARL LI'ITRELL, P.E.
