REFERRED CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IND. PASSED o' \ SOUTH BEND PUBLIC UTILITIES 224 North Main Street P.O. Box 1714 MICHAEL L. VANCE Director of Utilities Mrs. Beverlie Beck President Common Council City of South Bend Dear Mrs. Beck: CITY ®f SOUTH BEND ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 November 28, 1983 2191284.9322 I've filed an ordinance for first reading of the December 5th Council Meeting approving a contract between Autocon Industries Inc. and the South Bend Board of Water Commissioners. At this time I'm requesting suspension of the rules, second reading and public hearing on the matter. It is very important that the contract be approved during 1983, as the majority of funding was provided in the 1983 Water Works Depreciation Budget. If that contract is not approved in 1983, I cannot encumber funding to start the project. I apologize for bringing this ordinance to the Council at this late date, but frankly bids were not opened until October 17, 1983 and the tentative award was not made until November 21, 1983. Therefore, it would have been difficult to award earlier due to the time needed for detailed bid review. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in completing this ordinance at the December 5, 1983 Common Council Meeting. If you have questions, please feel free to call me. Sincerely, Michael L. Vance Director of Utilities MLV /mtw cc: John Leszczynski Members of the Common Council SOUTH BEND PUBLIC UTILITIES 224 North Main Street P.O. Box 1714 MICHAEL L. VANCE Director of Utilities Mrs. Beverlie Beck President Common Council City of South Bend Dear Mrs. Beck: CITY ®f SOUTH BEND ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor COUNTY-CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 November 28, 1983 219/284 -9322 The attached ordinance will be presented for first reading at the ,December 5, 1983 Council meeting. The ordinance approves a con- tract between Autocon Industires, Inc. and the Board of Water Commis- sioners in the amount of $265,085. This ordinance when approved will allow us to substantially complete the repairs at the North Station caused by the main break in the spring of 1982. The contract repre- sents the replacement of the main control system which controls all well fields in town depending on the demand placed on the system by its customers. Currently those functions are being accomplished through the use of supervisory personnel and mobile operators. Prior to the 1982 main break, the majority of those functions could be controlled by the operator at North Station. As an additional system benefit, the Fellows Booster Station will become an automated facility under the proposed system. Currently that facility is manned 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Through that automation, additional savings may be realized as the new system becomes operational. The system will operate much more efficiently with the possibility of reduced staffing in the future. It is anticipated that work will not begin until January of 1984, yet it is critical that the ordinance be passed in 1983 because the majority of funding for the project was budgeted in 1983, with the balance in 1984. It is anticipated that the project would be completed by October of 1984. Funding would come from the 1983 Depreciation Fund budget line 416.0 in the amount of $194,655 with the remainder from the 1984 Depreciation Fund budget. If there are additional questions, please feel free to contact my office. Sincerely, Michael L. Vance MLV /mtw Director of Utilities cc: John Leszczynski Members of the Common Council
