<br />ORDINANCE NO. 5360 -71 - (Cont.)
<br />Mr. David A. Wells of the Engineering, .Department read the following letter.
<br />"Memo to: Members of the Common Council
<br />November 3, 1971 "
<br />Subject: Approval of Contract for Construction of a Storage Garage
<br />at the Wastewater Treatment Plant
<br />Several years ago, the Wastewater Plant purchased a unit called a "Vacctor "' which,
<br />in two seasons, has resulted in making preventive maintenance on the South Bend
<br />sewer system a reality rather than wishful thinking. As with many improvements,
<br />certain problems seem to be associated with them. In this case, winter storage
<br />is a problem. Because the unit has various pumps and reservoirs for water, freez-
<br />ing of the unit would probably result in serious damage to the Vactor.. There-
<br />fore heated storage of the unit is required.
<br />Last year we were fortunate in being able to lease storage space from PTC. Be-
<br />cause their storage space has been severely curtailed, PTC is no longer able to
<br />accommodate the unit in their facility.
<br />A preliminary investigation to expand the present garage building at the Waste-
<br />water Plant was prohibitively expensive. The estimate was about $19.00 per
<br />square foot for the masonry construction. An alternative of a pre - fabricated
<br />metal building was then considered. As a result of bidding, Aulm Construction
<br />Co., Inc. bid results in a cost of about $7.00 per square foot for a building
<br />which will accommodate the Vactor and also other seasonal equipment used at the
<br />Plant, such as mowing equipment.
<br />The building will be approximately 30x60 feet and located west of the present
<br />digestors, between the digestors and the boundary fence.
<br />We recommend that this contract be approved for this addition which in needed
<br />rather urgently. Because of the present need, we would,also request that your
<br />body suspend your rules on this ordinance and have all three readings on
<br />November 8, 1971. This will allow us to get this construction underway more
<br />quickly.
