Your Committee of the Whole
to whom was referred AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE
CITY WATER WORKS OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA AND
THE CLOW CORPORATION, BENSENVILLE, ILLINOIS
FOR THE PURCHASE OF: I. WATER MAIN PIPE OF
CAST IRON OR DUCTILE AND FITTINGS: II:
MECHANICAL JOINT GATE VALVES, IN THE TOTAL
AMOUNT OF $138,024.36.
Respectfully report that they have examined the matter and that in their opinion the Ordinance go to the
Council as favorable.
TO: Members of the Common Council
RE: Purchase of Pipe, Fittings and Valves
FROM: John L. Hunter, Superintendent of Utilities
The Notice to Bidders was published in two newspapers on
April 18 and 25, 1969. Bids were received and opened on May 5, 1969,
and referred to our department for consideration. The tabulation of
the bids were made and the contracts awarded May 7, 1969. We are
enclosing a copy of the Notice to Bidders, specification sheets and
tabulation sheets for your review.
There are a few points that should be called to your attention
1. We are shipping by truck. We do not have a
sidetrack to be used for rail delivery.
2. We bid both cast iron and ductile cast iron.
The majority of the pipe used is regular cast
iron. However, in some areas and conditions
we do use the ductile because it is stronger
and a better pipe. The contracts were
awarded on the basis of ductile so, if needed,
it can be purchased,
3. You will note that Clow Corporation is not
low on the 3 -inch and 2 -inch pipe. We
awarded the bid to them to be certain we can
get delivery when and if needed. There is a
small demand and use for this size of pipe in
our system.
2
4, The tabulation sheets for pipe show last year's
prices in parenthesis. The tabulations sheets
show that Clow Corporation's bid on valves is
the same as last year.
S. We ask that public hearing be set on this
Ordinance for June 9, 1969.
