NEMETH, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 May 4, 1977 Members of the Common Council 441 County /City Building South Bend, IN 46601 RE: Johnson Street Sanitary Sewer Dear Councilmen: 219/284 -9251 The attached ordinance, appropriating $233,000.00 from the Cumulative Sewer Building and Sinking Fund, will enable this Department to enter into a contract for the repair of the sanitary sewer located in Johnson Street, between Lincoln Way West and Fassnacht Street. This existing sanitary sewer is a trunk line which services a large area west of this location. Over the last fifteen months the Bureau of Sanitation has been called upon to make repairs to this line at a number of locations. After visually in- specting and reviewing the condition of this sewer, we concur with the Bureau of Sanitation's request that it be replaced. Due to the size and nature of the project, plans and specifications have been prepared for the bidding of this work. This particular segment of Johnson Street is also included in the storm sewer program currently under contract in the Model Cities Neighborhood. Due to the nature of the work involved in replacing the existing sanitary sewer, we have chosen to delete the storm sewer installation proposed under the Model Cities Contract from that particular contract and have added it to the pro- posed contract for the repair of the sanitary facilities, thus placing all work on Johnson Street under the control of a single contractor. It is noted for the information of the Council that the total dollar reduction in the Model Cities contract, as a result of this activity, will be approximately $75,000. Your favorable concurrence is requested. Ver truly yours, r MdMah/on/, a rick M. P.E.
