The-opinion of the t -. Q low c 1' citizen's were <br />presented. The Engineers explained their views as follows: <br />Mechanical. Equipment - hounds View Water 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, Turbomatic Co, , D.U. Hicke Co. <br />equipment, and that of the second bidder the Layne - Minnesota Co., <br />General Filter Corp. equipment. The bid of the Turbomatic Co. <br />was in the amount of 344,660 for' equipment which was an alternate <br />to that proposed in the base bid.`.:: 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 tie 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 800 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 water, the additional cost over <br />a 25 year period will approach >9,000. in power alone. <br />
