Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item
DATE: November 15, 2018
FROM: Kara Boyles, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Budget Request – Water Works – South Well Field Improvements
Which TIF? (Circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Funding for water main construction in the amount of $1,047,000
Specifics: This is the second request for funding for the South Well Field Improvements project. In
2017, the DPW (Jitin Kain) requested $1.6M for the design and a portion of the
construction improvements related to the well field property. The project was split into
two phases: work related to treatment and pumping at the well field and water main
extension to serve the south pressure zone. This request shall fund the construction of
the new 20-inch water main along the abandoned railroad corridor between Chippewa
and Ireland Road.
Many of the assets, including the wells and associated pumps and motors, have been
operating well beyond their useful lives and are in need of replacement to maintain
operability and system reliability. This project will address: site civil piping, process
improvements (pump upgrades and chlorination upgrades), mechanical, electrical and
instrumentation/controls upgrades. This request for funding will help the South Bend
Water Works complete a portion of their 6-Year Partial Capital Improvement and
Replacement Plan. This project was listed as a critical project, and identified in the Indiana
Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) testimony as projects to be funded with TIF in 2018.
