Department of Public Works South Bend, Indiana INTER- OFFICE MEMO Date May 31, 1973 TO: James Roemer, Legal Depar ment FROM: William J. Richardsonk SUBJECT: VV" Appropriation Request I would like to request an appropriation ordinance be drawn for the amount of $400.00. This money is to be appropriated from surplus money that has been paid into the General Fund from the Division of Engineering. The money has been generated through the fees that have been charged for plans and specifications for the numbrous construction projects that we handled. The appropriation will be used to purchase blue print paper. These fees have not been computed into Miscellaneous Revenue into the City in the 1973 budget. Under our new procedure, working with consulting engineers, we do not pay the consultant for printing the plans and specifications. We find that this is a definite savings to the City when we handle all of the administration of the bidding. That is why we put a charge on the plans and specs, so that we can cover our costs of printing them for bidding. The normal procedure used in the past when the consultant printed the plans and specifications is that we pay them for them plus about 2z times the costs to cover their pay- roll, labor and miscellaneous items. As I say, under the new pro- cedure, we find that this is a big savings. I want to re- emphasize that this money has not been computed into the Miscellaneous Revenue for the City. By copy of this memo to you, I am also notifying the Council of this request so I don't have to send them an additional letter. Thanks very much.
