Councilman Miron reported that the Sewer & Water Committee met just prior to the
Special Council Meeting with Mr. Daniels of Thomas, Dean & Hoskins and Contractor
Ed Matelich regarding Schedule I of the Water Improvement Project and that the
committee is now ready to make a recommendation to the Mayor and City Council.
Councilman Miron further informed the Mayor and City Council that the original bid
for this Schedule I was $141,750.00 but that with some changes in specification
and re -negotiation with the contractor, the bid is now $112,300.00. This has been
accomplished without particularly damaging the original plant as planned. The bid
Is now within 9% of the engineer estimate. Councilman Miron requested Supt.
Lauterjung to report to the Mayor and City Council the design changes that were made
to accomplish the reduced amount of bid.
Supt. Lauterjung reported that the building was changed from a two story to a one
story. The roof of the building was changed to frame construction rather than
pre -stressed concrete. A gravity drainage to be used in place of sump pump. The
use of a water cooled generator in place of an air cooled generator.
Councilman Miron moved the bid for Schedule I of Water Systems Improvements Project
be awarded to Matelich Construction for $112,300.00 and that work proceed immediately.
