He did locate the owner ot the building on the south or Little Dry Creek and had reached a tentative agreement for leasing of the land rrom the City on a no charge baais, pro- viding adequate liability insurance is provided for the City's protection. Council- ll&n Brownewell discussed the establishment of a sufficient right-or-way to the parking lot to the west ot the City Hall through this land, then the balance could be •riced ott tor parking as may be safely done. 612-57 PINAL PAYMKNT OP MOFFAT TUNNEL WATER AND DEVELOPMENT CC»(PAMY NOTE The City Manager announced that the Motrat Tunnel Water and Development Company had been paid ott 1n tul~or the water rights purchased from that comp&l_lY 1n 1954.

The City Attorney COlllllented that no tract of land shall be disconnected from the City without an election or the people. The City Manager stated that he was acquainted with this Charter provision and would recommend that this matter be pre- pared in advance tor inclusion on the ballot at the next regular election. Minutes or December 4).1961 612-81 RELATING TO PURCHASE OF WATER VALVES, OTHER THAN LOW BIDDER The City Manager read the following memorandum from the Utilities Director\· 1n tull: "INTER-OFFICE Mm.ORANDUM TO: Mr. L. R. Rudd, City Manager DATE: November 3, 1961 P'R,.,..: Harold H. Babcock, Utilities Director SUBJECT: EXEMPTING CERTAIN WATER WORKS MATERIALS FRCJtt OPEN BIDDING Pursuant to our recent conversation relative to the above subject, I am again recommending that the following items be exempt from open bidding and am setting forth herewith the reasons why: WATER METERS. It ia recOlllDended that we standardize on the Rockwell water .. ter. The Rockwell meter has proven over the years to be a very aat1a1"actory and dependable meter. Of the 5,275 meters in service 4,881 are Rockwell meters, being the only make purchased since the City took over the system rrom Denver. The cost or Rockwell meters has alwa7s been comparable or lower than other makes, but in these times or h1ghl1 competitive bidding we might at any time be confronted with one or more bids slightly lower than the Rockwell. Prom a maintenance view- point standardizing on one make of meter has considerable advantage, both trom stocking parts and the familiarity of the meters in servicing the aa.. nu HYDRAMTS. It la recOlmllended that we standardize on the Mueller Pire Hydrant. Aa tar aa I can tind out, the City has purchased only the Mueller hydrant since taking over the system from Denver. We have in our a7atem approximately 233 hydrants or which 195 are Mueller, 3 Pacific States, 30 old Denver m.ke (Denver makes its own hydrants, parts tor which are impossible to obtain) and 5 ot unknown origin. The Mueller hydrant has nany desirable design features, is easy to operate and requires a minimum amount or maintenance. The Fire Department highly rec0111Dends this hydrant. Mueller hydrants are predominantly used in the ~ter Districts in which F.nglewood is serving water, also 1n the ad- jacent Pire Districts in which the Englewood Fire Department partici- pates. A tire hydrant is a very important item, the failure ot which can be disastrous. Por the last two years we have gone to the Council tor approval or Mueller hydrants although they were not the low bidder, and have obtained such approval, but such a procedure is not tair to the other bidders. OATB VALVES. It la reooanended that we standardize on Mueller gate valves. Again, there is definite advantage of having uniformity tor the taailiarity, the dependability or operation and simplification of the stocking and availability or parts. The majority or the gate valves on our distribution system are Mueller valves and have proven very aatia1"actory trom the standpoint of quality, ease ot operation and 111n1mum amount of maintenance. Last winter when we took bids for our 1961 gate valve requirements, we accepted the low bid tor another make ot valves. This turned out to be a mistake. As an example, three ot the 14-inch valves had defective parts which made it impossible tor the valves to operate properly and was not discovered until the valves were installed and the water turned into the lines. I do not have an exact record or the amount of expense involved to remedy the condition but I would estimate that 1t was more than the additional cost would have been tor Mueller valves in the first place. 'lbere are at least tour Jobbers in Denver that can bid and supply Mueller valves and hydrants, thus, there would be competition even in submitting informal quotations. ~AL !UIPMBMT REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT. rea been and will be more occasions when the coat ot repair and/or replacement parts tor mechanical equipment will amount to more than ~500.00. In moat cases the equipment is of a certain make tor which the repairs or replacements can only be obtained trom the manu- tac turer or sales representative or that particular piece ot equipment. Thia ia especially true at our Water Filter Plant and our Sewage Treat- ment Plant where there are larger and more expensive equipment involved. The time element is often involved due to emergency repair, particularly at the tilter plants where a forced delay in repairing a vital piece ot equipment ~1ght result in a disaster. I I I I Minutes of December 4, 1961 There are also occasions when our larger mobile equipment such as the back-hoe, front end loader, tractor, etc., will require na.jor repair or overhaul in amounts over $500.00 for which it would be difficult to obtain this service from other than the original manufacturer or its sales representative. Therefore, I would recommend that mechanical equipment repairs and replacements be exempted trom competitive bidding. Inasmuch aa there is urgent need for .ordering our 1962 requirements tor the above nater1als aa soon as possible, with or without competitive bidding, any action on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
