August 3, 1935.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: Attached is a revi-
sion of Resolution No. 85, pertaining
to the former authorization of the
City Council to file applications for
45% grants far tht•ee paving and
oue sanitary sewer project.
A complication arose at Mr. Hop-
kins' office at Des Moines after this
resolution was passed on Jtme 26th
and after the applications had been
prepared and delivered to Des
Moines. The reason for the change
is that recently the Federal author-
ities determined that 45%o grants
could not be considered through F.
E. A, of Public Works Division un-
less the total cost teas in exce.ts of
$25,000. None of these separate four
projects are as much as j25,000, but
the total of the four is over $33,DOD.
On July 27 Mr. Hopkins requested
authority from the city to combine
these three paving and one sevrer
project. A tentative resolution was
prepared and sent to him for ap-
proval July 29. Today, he has re-
turned aslightly amended section of
this resolution. The same is pre-
sented for the consideration and ap-
proval by our City.Conncil.
The chief paint outlined in this
combined request was that sr-..paste
bids were to be taken on ~1cit pro-
ject and that the City Council would
have authority to award each co ~-
tract to the lowest responsibb> Itid-
der on each project in order to leg-
ally assess the 55% !valance. Mr,
Hopkins, by letter of August ^, has
aPProved the coudit';on of awarding
the separate prnj~.cts by the Council.
Respectfully submitted,
R, M. EVANS,
City lYIanager.

sewer requests fora 45%o grant from
the Federal Government intu one

SANITARY SEWER

application to the Public Works
Administration, as one application;
Now, therefore,

of the City of Dubuque, Iowa:

the paving and sewer projects, as
above outlined in Section 1 (B), and
that each separate contract be
alvarded to the lowest, responsible
bidder in order to legally provide
far the assessment of 55% of the
project costs to abutting property.

be and is hereby authorized and di-
rected to furnish such information

Martin Schwaegler of 1001 White
Street, dated May 22, 1935, address-
ed to the City Council, for the priv-
ilege of buying Lots 7 or 8, McCra-
ney's Sub., on the east side of Gar-
field Avenue, north of Dack Street,
was considered and the site viewed

Inasmuch as Mr. Schwaegler has
recently made a statement that the
City could not furnish him with the
proper type of deed, it note seems
that his request is withdrawn. Ac-
cordingly, the decision of the Ceun-
cil was that at present neither of
these two lots should be sold.

CTentlem.en: At the meeting of
May 20, 1935, the City Council de-
termined to view the street light
that had been installed by Mr. Alois
i;I, flofiYnann, at his expense, on the
south side of West 15th Street abort
20' to 25' west of Central Avenue.
The original agreement with the
City Council, as of September 30,
1929, was that Mr. Hoffmann should
install this light and pay for the
fixtures and the City would provide
for the current and pay for said
current. Said light was blanked fn
1933 clue to the necessary reduction
in street lighting costs.
This question was considered by
the Council July 19th. The decision
previously made in 1933 was that
the average number of six lights per
block on Central Avenue should be
all lighted, whereas in the past two
years two lamps had been blanked
in each block. On July 19th the
Council viewed a Present blanked
extra light on Central Avenue in
front of the City Hall, south of 13th
Street. They also viewed a blanked
extra light at the southeast corner
of Central Avenue and 14th Street in
front of the former Union Trust &
Savings Banlt and another blanked
light on the south side of East 14th
Street about 60' east of-Central
Avenue.
The decision of the City Council
on July 19th was that the present
extra lamps above mentioned, in-
eluding the one on the side of Mr.
Hoffmann's funeral home, overe not
to be lighted at present as the
funds for extra street lights were
not available.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.

Council, Dubuque, Iowa.
Gentlemen: At the Council meet-
ing held April 22, 1935, a petition
from Mr. Peter Griner and other
residents in the vicinity of Avoca
and Decorah Streets was submitted
to the Council in regard to the over
flow of water on their private prop•
erties. Said petition further request-
ed that the nuisance be abated.
This matter was referred to the
Council to view the grounds.
On July 15th the Council made an
investigation of this area. The deci-
sion of the City Council, as of July
19th, was tlrat provision should be
made to prevent water from any
street iu this neighborhood flowing
over the curbs and damaging private
property. Consideration was also
given to the fact that in the pt•evieus
year a storm sewer had been pro-
vided from Delhi Street loading
down to near Cherry and Avoca
utreets to protect these properties
from flood water from Delhi Street.
Tire major opinion reached was
that tiie water damaging certain
properties ou Avoca and Decorah
Streets came from private property
c~• yards lying south and west of
said Decorah and Avoca Street lots
and that the City could do nothing
to Provide storm sewers or ditches
through private property to prevent
said flooding.

Gentlemen: Following the adjourn-
ment of the Council meeting June
26th there tivas submitted to the
members of the Board of Health a
request from Jahn Robinson of 1865
Cedar Street that the Board of
Health grant him the right to do
scavenger work for the City of
Dubuque.
This question was considered at
an informal session of the City
Council July 19th. It was stated that

several years ago as the vault clea-
ner for the City; that Mr. Eugene
Frith, who has the garbage contract,
now collects dead animals and the
City Street Department collects rub•
bish. The •term "scavenger work"
would seem to interfere with all of
the three above mentioned present
arrangements. Accordingly, the peti-

sary.

ceived from the Iowa State Highway
Commission regarding as to whether
or not cities that are benefitted by
these overhead, newly planned cross-
ings, would be required to purchase

both buildings and land, far the ele-

(B) CONSIDERATION FOR
ELIMINATION OF TWO BIDS.
Bids No, 1 and 4, as above out•
lined, are suggested to be under con-
sideration of elimination,
Bid Nc. 1, by the Peerless Pump
Division of the Food Machinery Cor-
poration was based on the included
gasoline Angiue being made by the
Waulesha Motor Company. Since
the bids were received, we have
checked this particular gasoline en-
gine and have determined that this
Waukesha engine has not had the
approval of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters, as is definitely
required, and was stated in our
specifications. No other alternate
gasoline engine was included in this
bid.
Bid No. 4, as listed above, from
Kretschmer-Tredway Company, con•
tains certain information as to guar-
antees of efficiency and current to
be used by the electric motor for
pumping water from the deep well
that are not in lice with the other
bids. The reasons for not consider-
ing this bid No. 4 are due to the
stated ]ow percentage of efficiency
of the Pump and the excessive
amount of current required to oper-
~~'
t~
~41
P
f:
212 Special Session, August 30th, 1935
ate the pump by the electric motor.
Actual guarantees of current neces-
sary for water pumping of the five
bids are 'as follows at the stated
1,750 Gal. per minute:
K.W.H. per 1000 Gals.
Bid 1. Peerless .............................486
Bid 2. Fairbanks, Morse & Co..501
Bid 3. Morrison Bros. & Co.,......502
Bid 4. Kretschmer-Tredway Co..590
Bid 5. A. Y, McDonald Mfg. Co..500
Accordingly, the required current
per 1000 gal, on Bid 4 at.59 K.W.H,
is approximately 19% above the
average of that of the other four
bids.
Accordingly, from the original
bids, it would seem that both Bids
1 and 4 should be eliminated.
In regard to Bid 1 of the Peerless
Company, which included the state-
ment that the Waultesha gasoline
engine was approved by the Under-
writets, the Dubuque city officials
have determined that this is abso•
lutely in error. Since our investiga-
tion, we received a wire, dated Au-
gust 28, from the Waukesha Motor
Company advising that they had not
as yet had approval from the Under-
writers on this particular- engine.
We were shown on August 28th a
letter- from the Waukesha Motor
Co., dated prior to August 26th, ad-
dressed to the Peerless Pump Divi-
sion, stating that the same gasoline
engine was approved by the Under-
writers. The representatives of the
Peerless Pump Division were very
sorry for this error in their bid
which }vas entirely the fault of the
Waukesha Motor Company, and not
theirs.
At 4:00 P. M. Wednesday, August
28th, a letter from the Peerless
Pump Division was presented to the
writer, and is attached hereto, stat-
ing that due to the failure of ap-
proval to date of the Waukesha en-
gine, said Peerless Pump Division
would agree to furnish and install,
instead of the determined non-
approved Waultesha engine, a defin-
itely ltnown, approved new gasoline
engine made by the Climax Engin-
eering Company of Clinton, Iowa,
designated R-4-U, for the same sum
as their original bid, viz. $7,361.47.
A serious question is whether or
not a change of equipment can be
considered in any formal bid after
the same is opened and tabulated.
Determination of the elimination, or
consideratieu, of this lowest bid is
presented to the Council.
In regard to Bid 4, following the
tabulation of bids and comparison of
the guarantees of efficiency and
amount of current necessary for
operation, we were advised August
28th by an engineer from the Cook
Company that errors were made in
their bid regarding, first, the effic•
ieucy which should have been stated
at a higher percentage and also,
second, in regard to the amount of
cm•rent necessary which should
have been considerably less than
stated in the bid.
(C) ANALYSIS OF OTHER
BIDS
The second lowest bid was from
Fairbanks, Morse & Company. The
construction of pumps by this com-
pany is at San Francisco, California.
Motors are built by the same firm
at. Beloit, Wisconsin,
Statements as required in the bid
as to the number of pumps built by
this firm include the information
that this firm has been building
deep well pumps for only six years.
Total available records show only
17 pumps of 16" size and one pump
of 20" size that have been sold by
this firm in the entire United States.
The guaranteed K.W.H, of current
necessary far pumping 1,000 gallons
of water is fairly low as previously
stated in "B." Certain necessary
comparative data, however, was not
included in this bid as to power
costs at higher and lower capacity
than 1750 gallons per minute, as was
required to be outlined in the spec-
ifications.
The third bid, from Morrison Bros.
Company of Dubuque, included an
American Well Worlcs as made at
Aurora, Illinois. This company has
been building large pumps for 28
years. Their records show that in
the State of Illinois, alone, there
have been sold and installed seven
pumps of 17" size; 13 pumps of 20"
size, and eight pumps of 24" size.
The R. G. Dunn records do not
ptrovide a rating for the American
Well Works. This firm is and has
been in receivership for several
years. However, it was learned that
this receivership was not due to
finance, but to equity, as the firm
ltas over $500,000 in surplus at
present.
The guarantee of electric current
consumption for this pump and
motor at 1750 gallons, as stated in
"B," is but slightly in excess of Bids
2 and 5, viz. Fairbanks, Morse, and
McDonalds.
The fifth bid in actual price as
submitted by the A. Y. McDonald
Mfg. Co. includes certain conditions
that at•e for consideration.
The Sterling Pump C o m p a n y
which manufactures the deep well
pump is located at South Bend, In-
diana. This company is rated "B"
by the R. G. Dunn records, which
signifies good credit.
Special Session, August 30th, 1935 213
The gasoline engine, as included,
is also made by another Sterling
Engine Company at Buffalo, N. Y.
The rating of this company is AAA
} 1, Advantage in this gasoline en-
gine type includes the only available
remaining bid of a 6 cylinder engine.
(Others are 4 cylinder).
This Sterling Gas Engine design is
recognized by many city and private
utilities as the highest type of avail-
able engine and is used by many
municipalities. Last year, after in-
vestigation, a 6 cylinder, larger
sized Sterling Engine was purchased
by us for use at the Kaufmann Ave•
nue Water Station. Same has proved
to be efficient. It is used monthly
for a test. Records of sales of the
large Sterling pump include: at least
200 deep well pumps of 16" or larger
size are now in operation in the
United States. The period of these
exclusive turbine pumps has been 25
years.
The guaranteed I{.W.H, per 1000
gallons at 1750 gallon rate of water
pumped is the lowest of the five
bids, except the guarantee from the
Peerless Division, which possibly
cauttot be considered.
From available data submitted on
efficiency, the Sterling pump seems
highest of all at the designated
point, viz. 1750 gallons per minute,
which is our basis determination
from the well test, and should the
water level recede in the well, the
Sterling curve shows materially
higher efficiency at the lower water
levels.

CONCLUSION.
Iu addition to the information
herewith submitted, we have for
your consideration .the following
data:
(1) Complete comparative tabula-
tion of all details of the bids, as
received.
(2) Original bids as submitted,
including certain mu'ves, statements
and general inform~atiou from each
bidder.
Your consideration as to the legal
method of award in this complica-
tion of prices and varying designs
as submitted is desired.
The pumping equipment under
consideration is on the recommen-
dation of the National Board of Fire
[Tnderwriters and is tc be operated
by electric power and also other
than electricity for emergency. Af-
ter acareful study, we believe the
most dependable emergency power
is a six cylinder gasoline engine.
We have in service at the Level
Pumping Statien one six cylinder
Sterling gasoline engine which has
proven most satisfactory in every
respect. Our recommendation is that

214 Special Session, f\ug~ust 30th, 1935
you approve the purchase of a Six
Cylinder Sterling Petrel Gasoline
Engine for emergency power for the
new pumping unit. As above shown
in the tabulations of the different
bids, rve believe the Sterling and
American pumps make the best
showing for bath efficiency and oper•
sting costs per 1000 gallons, pump-
ing 1,750 gallons per minute.
Another definite fact is that both
of these two companies have manu-
factured large turbine deep well
pumps for 25 years or more.
The Price submitted by the A. Y.
McDonald Mfg. Company fora Ster-
ling Pump with six cylinder Ster-
ling gasoline engine, pumping 1,75D
gallons per minute, with no alter-
nates, was $8,460.00.
The price submitted by Morrison
Bt•os.. Co. for an American Pump
with six cylinder Sterling gasoline
engine as alternate, pumping 1,750
gallons Per minute, was as follows:
gtne
+ ForB1Ste ling a6 CyL Gas$8281.00
Engine .................................. 365.00
$8,646.D0
We therefore recommend the pur-
chase of a Sterling Pump and Six
Cylinder Sterling Petrel Gasoline
Engine from the A. Y. McDonald
Mfg. Company as they submitted the
lowest total bid on this basis.
Respectfully submitted,
R. M. EVANS,
City Manager.
