SOUTH BEND PUBLIC UTILITIES 224 North Main Street P.O, Box 1714 MICHAEL L. VANCE Director of Utilities Members of the Council Common Council City of South Bend Dear Council Members: CITY of SOUTH BEND ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 November 3, 1981 219/2849322 There will be presented for your approval at first reading of the November 9, 1981 Council Meeting an ordinance appropriating $43,445.00 from the Sewage Works Depreciation Fund to line item 260.0 Contractual Services of the Bureau of Sewers budget. As you will recall, earlier this fall we had a major sewer failure of the 36" brick sewer which runs on the north side of Sample Street from the railraod crossing at Chapin east approximately 500 feet. The Board of Wastewater Commissioners upon my recommendation declared an emergency situation and replaced the whole 500 feet as opposed to making spot repairs. If you will recall, this is not the first problem we've had with that line. After receiving three quotes from contractors the Board author- ized the low quote, H. DeWulf Mechanical Contractors, Inc., to make the repairs based on their estimate of $33,800.00 excluding the cost of replacement pipe which was directly purchased by the Bureau of Sewers. Work is completed and that portion of the sewer is operating fine. I appreciate the Council's cooperation in this matter. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact my office.
