Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Sealze <br />Jim LaValie <br />Steve Mercian <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Scott R. Tangen, Public Works Director <br />DATE: March 11, 1998 <br />RE: Sump Pump/Water Meter Inspection Program Recommendation <br />Since my March 6th memo I have recruited a former City of Little Canada Public Works <br />employee and we have reached a tentative agreement regarding inspection services for our sump <br />pump inspection program. This former employee's name is Bill Dircks. Bill was a part -time <br />employee from May of 1994 until the Fall of 1996. Bill is currently a student at the University <br />of Minnesota. He will be graduating in June. He has agreed to give us a written agreement to be <br />the inspector for our sump pump inspection program from April through the end of August. We <br />have tentatively agreed on a $15 per hour wage without benefits. <br />I have worked with Bill in the past and have found him to be a hard - working, honest, and <br />conscientious individual. I will personally be training Bill and I believe he will do an excellent <br />job for us. <br />For your information, the following are associated costs with doing this project in- house. These <br />costs are assuming a worst -case scenario: <br />Wages <br />Data Base & Map Work <br />Re- employment Ins. (if needed) <br />Mailing Costs <br />Associated Inspection Forms <br />Total <br />$15.00 X 900 Hours <br />$15.00 X 30 Hour <br />$300 X 26 Weeks <br />2,300 X .32 <br />$13,500 <br />450 <br />7,850 (Max.) <br />736 <br />1 200 <br />$23,736 <br />This worst case scenario is approximately 40% of our lowest proposal. I recommend the sump <br />pump /water meter inspection program be done in -house and I also recommend we hire Bill <br />Dircks as our inspector subject to above - mentioned written agreement. <br />PAGE 1 <br />
