HOLZER Supt. of Distribution F. W. GALLAGHER Supt. of Water Supply ROSS A. THUMA 1 Supt. Filtration July 16, 1958 it r, ' JUL 1.6 19M W"' ORAUON Cotma The 60" Mississippi River Conduit, Contract #2, has been awarded to Ashbach Construction Company, with actual work under way. The 60" steel pipe for this contract is being furnished by the Bethlehem Steel Company in Pennsyl- vania. In accordance with the specifications covering this contract, it is necessary to conduct tests on the Coal Tar Enamel coating and also to perform inspection on the application of the enamel on the pipe. , The Municipal Testing Laboratory is not in a position to make the necessary test on this material without the purchasing of special equipment. This would be most uneconomical to purchase the needed equipment for this one contract only. Also, to send our local men to Pennsylvania to make inspec- tion of the application would be most uneconomical. The reasonable approach is to secure the facilities of a competent testing firm in the area as the pipe is now being fabricated and inspection of the coating will be starting very shortly. We would not want to delay this work and as a result delay delivery on the job. The long delay in the award of this contract has accelerated the fabrication of the steel pipe in order that the contractor may place as great an amount as possible in the ground before cold weather. It is, therefore, recommended that the Water Department engage the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory, 1936 North 12th Street, Philadelphia 22, Pennsylvania, to perform this testing and inspection work. A copy of the proposal of the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory is attached, stating their prices will be $75.00 per test of coal tar batch sample and 750 per ton of steel on the application of the material, or a total of approximately $4,050.00. These prices appear to be reasonable. I would appreciate very much your preparation of the necessary Council Resolu- tion approving such services. / Very truly yours, CWH :lmp C. Hamblin Attach.
