Bids are as follows: "Signal Engineering Company of Houston (all or none) Kar-Trol Signal Company of Houston Graybar Electric Company of Austin $9,300.00 9,443.20 9,594.20 "Invitation to bid was sent to all known suppliers of approved vehicle detectors in this area. "The cost estimate by the Traffic and Transportation Department was $10,000. Present bid lower than in October 1960. At the 1960 unit prices the amount of this bid would have been $11,500.

T. Williams, Jr. City Manager SUBJECT: Lawn Irrigation System at Terminal Building "Since the Austin Water Sprite Company has been relieved of its obligation in the bidding for the sprinkler system at the Terminal Building, we would like to revise our recommendation for the award of this contract. (As you may have heard Mr. Kindle passed away last Sunday.) "We have made further investigations into the use of PVC pipe since making the previous recommendation and offer the information on the attached sheet for your consideration.

"If Proposal B is accepted with both Alternates No. 1 and 2 in the amount of $11,814, we will have a complete system for a total contracted price of $14,245.78. "If Proposal A is preferred in the amount of $13,135.00, we will have a complete system for a total contracted price of $15,566.78. "It will be necessary to add approximately $800.00 to the above total contracted prices for plans and supervision of the work in order to arrive at an over-all cost. "Col.

Eldridge Supervising Engineer Construction Engineering Division" "RE: POLYVINYL CHLORIDE PIPE December 27, 1961 "The City of Los Angeles, California, has done much pioneering in the use of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipe. They began using this material for service connections from the water main to the customer's meter in 1951. Before they were willing to become involved in new materials to be located underneath pavements, they spent several years in testing work and with pilot installations. "We have discussed the use of this material with Mr. Socha, Chief Engineer of Water Works, Los Angeles, California, and find that they are well pleased with this pipe when used with standard fittings and are continuing to use increasing quantities in their system. All of this pipe is subject to pressures varying from 45 to 150 p.s.i. Mr. Socha states that it is his opinion that the PVC pipe will have a life expectancy equal to that of copper pipe. "In reviewing the Journals of the American Water Works Association, we find many other satisfied users of PVC pipe. Generally, we find that other types of plastic pipe have been used by various water industries, but PVC is the only non-metallic pipe that has been trouble-free. "In the City of Austin at the Weberville Service Building, we have used this pipe to convey strong acid wastes and have found it to be completely satisfactory for this service. "Specifications for the Terminal Building Sprinkler System call for Hi-Impact, PVC made from virgin materials by the most reputable manufacturers. This pipe is the highest quality available and it is the same pipe which has been established as successful. s/ A. M. Eldridge Supervising Engineer Construction Engineering Division" 1311 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1311 The Council discussed the LAWN IRRIGATION SYSTEM at the Terminal Building at the AIRPORT. It was brought out that the Austin Water Sprite Company had been relieved of its obligation in the bidding as Mr. Kindle had passed away. Mr. A. M. Eldridge, Supervising Engineer, Construction Engineering Division, recommended that Polyvinyl Chloride Pipe be used in the place of copper pipe. He stated he had made an investigation into the use of PVC pipe and gave a report of his findings and submitted samples of the pipe.
