The Engineers explained their views as follows: <br />Mechanical Equipment - Hounds View ;Tater Filtration Plant <br />Regarding the bids for the above mentioned project, we deem it <br />advisable to inform . the council of certain facts concerning the <br />equipment as bid by the low bidder, Turbprnatic Co., D.T. Ilicke Co. <br />equipment, and that of the second bidder the Layne- Ninnesota Co., <br />General Filter Corp. equipment. The bid of the Turbomatic Co. <br />was in the amount of 3.4,660 for' ;equipment which was an alternate <br />to that proposed in the base bid. `.o This equipment cannot be con- - <br />Strued to be comparable to that of the base bid due to the follow- <br />ing features: <br />1. The piping arrangement of the raw water line is such that the <br />flow to the individual cells cannot be separately controlled. <br />The raw water line itself within the tank is calibrated for a <br />1,000 gallon per minute flow. Should the rate of flow be in- <br />creased to 1,200 gal. or reduced to 300 gal. per minute, this <br />calibration would not equally distribute the water to the res- <br />pective individual cells. <br />2. The under drain system is connected in the manner which makes it <br />mandatory to back wash the entire unit rather than by an individual. <br />cell basis as proposed in the base bid. Should it be necessary to <br />back wah the unit with filtered w^ te" , the additional cost over <br />a 25 year period will approach 9,000. in power alone. <br />
