RE: Digester No. 3 - Wastewater Treatment Plant
e
FROM: John L. Hunter, Director of Utilities
\ Advertisements for bids were placed in the Tri- County News and
South Bend Tribune on June 26 and July 3, 1970. Bids were received
July 20 and referred to Clyde E. Williams & Associates, Inc. and our
office for recommendation. The following three bids were received:
Slutzky -Peltz Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc, $24,773.00
0. J. Shoemaker, Incorporated 16,851.00
E. L. Zimmerman Co., Inc. 16,405.00
Since E. L. Zimmerman Co., Inc. is low bidder and meets specifica-
tions, recommendation was made to the Board of Wastewater Treatment
Commissioners on August 3 to accept their bid. The Board agreed and
entered into a contract on this date.
Objectives of this program are as follows:
1. Improve grit removal from the sides of the digester
cone and thereby increase the time interval between
digester cleanings.
2. Improve distribution of sludge input and thereby
put into effective use some of digester capacity
that is not now effective.
fi
3. Improve sludge circulation :into that portion of the
digester below the reach of the gas guns.
4. Increase circulation ability to aid in fighting an
emergency such as for example a shock loa.d of indus-
trial waste.
S. Installation of gas meters to monitor gas production
and digester performance. y
Please advise if we can provide you with additional information.
