State Revolving Fund loan (SRF) proceeds were a source of funds for the construction Project described and approved in Ordinance 8919-98, of which $638,682 remains available for Project use. These funds are paid by the State of Indiana directly to the Project vendors. The City's Municipal Sewage Works construction project requires additional modification to help alleviate hydraulic constraints (bottlenecks) through the primary and secondary portions of the plant to increase peak wet weather flows that can be processed through the plant. Such modification will enable the City to comply with federal mandate to maximize flows treated by the waste water treatment plant, and to effectuate its CSO (Combined Sewer Overflow) long term control plan. This proposed Project modification is directly related to the purpose and intent of Ordinance No. 8919-98, that is, to improve the secondary treatment system in South Bend's wastewater treatment plant, but Section 2 of Ordinance No. 8919-98 should be modified to explicitly include the proposed Project modification. Although actual cost estimates of the Project modification have not yet been made, funds of $638,682 remain from the original Project, and should be applied to this modification project. Such funds are expected to be sufficient to complete The Project, as modified. The Project modification has been approved by the Indiana State Revolving Loan Fund Program. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA as follows: Section I. Section 2 of Ordinance No. 8919-98 which describes the improvements to the City's Municipal Sewage Works (The Project) to be paid for by revenue bonds, should be amended to include the costs of improving the hydraulic system at the City's wastewater treatment plant in order to increase the peak wet weather flows that can be processed through the plant. The costs of such improvements shall include all necessary and related expenses of construction including but not limited to design, planning, analysis, as well as actual construction. The South Bend Board of Public Works (The Board) shall supervise The Project as modified in compliance with state law (Ind. Code § 36-1-12-1 et sew.), and shall enter into all contracts necessary or appropriate for such purpose. All designs, plans, specifications and cost estimates for The Project as modified shall be filed with the Council, and approved by The Board, and to the extent required, by the State of Indiana. Section II. The State Revolving Fund loan proceeds which remain on deposit for use in the construction project identified and approved in Ordinance No. 8919-98 in the sum of $638,682 shall be applied to and used for The Project as modified in Section I of this ordinance, subject to final approval of the designs, plans, specifications and cost estimates for The Project as modified. Section III. The remaining terms and provisions of Ordinance No. 8919-98 shall remain in full force and effect unless they are inconsistent with this Ordinance under which circumstances, the terms of this ordinance shall apply. Section IV. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after adoption by the Common Council and approval by the Mayor, and if required, by the State of Indiana. r~1. r Member, South B d Common Council At City erk Presented by me to the Mayor of the City of South Bend, Indiana on the ~~-~ day of ~cxr , 200- , at 1 ~.

The ordinance deals with an amendment of Ordinance 8919-98 to modify the scope of the improvements planned for the wastewater treatment plant.

This project will allow us comply with the CSO Long Term Plan requirements to maximize flow tlu-ough the plant during ~~~et weather. IDEM has approved our modification and their letter is attached for your information. I will make the formal presentations and am available anytime if you have questions.
