MR. BEINDORF NOTED THAT THESE DOCUMENTS COMPARE THE EN- <br />GINEERING ESTIMATES WITH THE BIDS AND ALSO SHOW WHERE WE STAND IN <br />RELATION TO THE ORIGINAL BUDGET. -HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT, ALTHOUGH <br />WE ARE RUNNING BEHIND ON THE COSTS FOR RENOVATING THE EXISTING WATER <br />SYSTEM, WHICH INCLUDES THE MONEY FOR THE LEAKAGE SURVEY, WE ARE <br />STILL AHEAD IN RELATION TO THE TOTAL COST. <br />MR. BEINDORF CONTINUED THAT THEY WERE OFF IN THEIR ORIGINAL <br />ESTIMATE IN REGARD TO THE REMOVING, REBUILDING AND RESTORING OF THE <br />METERS, AND CONSEQUENTLY ARE NOW BEHIND APPROXIMATELY $14,000 ON THIS <br />PART.- HE NOTED THAT THEY HAVE FOUND IT NECESSARY TO INCLUDE ZS TO <br />30 NEW METERS AND 3 NEW HYDRANTS TO REPLACE SOME THAT WERE TOO FAR <br />GONE TO WARRANT REBUILDING. THIS IS IN,EXCESS OF -WHAT WAS.ORI.GINALLY <br />FIGURED. HE COMMENTED THAT THEY HAD CONSIDERED REPLACING ALL THE <br />OLDER GALVANIZED LINES IN THE PINEVIEW PARK AREA, WHICH WAS THE ADDI- <br />TIVE ON THE BID, BUT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO GO AHEAD WITH THAT <br />PROJECT AT THIS TIME. MR. BEINDORF POINTED OUT, HOWEVER, THAT THERE <br />IS A CONTINGENCY FUND BUILT INTO THE ORIGINAL BUDGET, WHICH HAS NOT <br />BEEN TOUCHED SO FAR. <br />ENGINEER BEINDORF NOTED THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO COME <br />UP WITH.A FIRM PRICE WHEN YOU ARE RENOVATING AN OLD EXISTING SYSTEM <br />SUCH AS U.D.U., BUT THEY FEEL THE BID MADE BY DRIVEWAYS, INC., IS A <br />LEGITIMATE ONE WHICH WILL KEEP US WITHIN OUR BUDGET, AND THEY ARE <br />RECOMMENDING THAT THE BID'BE AWARDED TO DRIVEWAYS, INC. HE THEN IN- <br />TRODUCED ENGINEERS RALPH ENG AND .JIM .JONES TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS <br />THE BOARD MIGHT HAVE IN REGARD TO THESE BIDS. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT THE REBUILDING AND/OR REPAIR- <br />ING OF THE WATER METERS. <br />MR. ENG EXPLAINED THAT TO EXPEDITE THE RENOVATION, THEY <br />PROPOSE TO HAVE THE CONTRACTOR BUY A QUANTITY OF NEW METERS TO PUT IN <br />WHERE THEY TAKE OUT THE OLD ONES. THE OLD ONES WILL THEN BE REBUILT <br />AND CERTIFIED AND PUT IN LATER WHERE OTHERS ARE TAKEN OUT. HE FURTHER <br />NOTED THAT THE OLD METERS THAT DO NOT WARRANT BEING REBUILT WILL BE <br />SALVAGE TO THE COUNTY AND CAN LATER BE USED FOR TRADE-IN ON NEW METERS. <br />0 <br />JUN 16 1978aooK J5 PUE <br />
