Report of the Chief The Chairman called upon Mr.
Engineer and General Lee M.Nelson for a report and
Managerupon the plans recommendation upon the revised
and specifications plans and specifications for the
revised;for the Land land section of the ocean outfall
Section,Ocean Outfall sewer,as submitted by the design
Sewer engineers.
Mr,Nelson read hi~report to the Directors,stating
that he had found the plans and specifications to be clear
and concise and the design in accordance with good
engineering practice;that he recommended the Boards’
acceptance of the plans and the publication of notice
calling for bids to be received not later than January 14,
1953.
Report of the Design Messrs.~Harrison,Woolley and
Enginèers Carollo,representin~the firms of
Harrison &Woolley,and Headman,
Ferguson &Carollo,explain?d the new design of the land
section of the ocean outfall sewer which included 7~”
reinforced concrete pipe from the marine section inland
for approximately 700 feet and 60”reinforced concrete
pipe for the remaining 1355 feet at an estimated.constr~
uction cost of ~223,935;and an alternate proposal
using 7~”reinforced concrete pipe instead of 60”
on the 1355 foot section,at a total estimated constr
uction cost (using the 7~”alternate)of ~23l,l~5.
Mr.Harrison.reported that their revised design pro
vides a considerable saving by raising the level and
placing 1300 feet of pipe on trestle;but since the
entire line will be subject to infi1terat1~on from tidal
waters at low flow or will be subject to internal
pressures at higher flow,relative water tight joints
are required and two alrternate types of pipe joints are
included in the proposal,being (1)the bell and spigot
tubular rubber,gask.0t grout-filled joint and (2)the bell
and spigot solid rubber gasket joint.
Mr.Carollo led a discussion upon conditions con
tributing to sulfides generated by sewage,the cost’and
effectiveness of various methods of pipe protection,
and the amount of protection given the pipe against
sulfuric acid where chlorination is used lorodor control,

Report of the
—
Director Warner,Chairman of the
F’inancè Committee Finance Committee reported that
considerable time and effort had
been spent in reviewing the many problems confronting the
Districts by the Ueficit of some ~Li.OO,OOO in the bond
funds for completion of the project under the original
plan;realizing the desire of all Directors that maximum
facilities be built with the money available and within
the shortest period Df time,the Committee believes the
plan presented and approved in principal the best method
of procedure;also,that in analyzing the accounts,they
found items charged against the bond funds for expendi
tures other than construction costs,and as there will
be future charges of this nature,recommend that a con
tingency be set up for such payments.Chairman Warner
presented for consideration a time schedule for com
pletion of each unit of the work and stated that the
Finance Committee unanimously recommend that the Boards
Instruct the design engineers to prepare preliminary
plans covering the trunks and treatment plant facilities
based upo,n the plan devised by the Committee with an
equitable distribution of the costs and capacities in
the modification an~that they prepare a chart with the
plans showing the respective interests in the final
participation so that it can clearly be understood what
the program involves.
There followed a discussion upon clarification of
future costs of construction of the ellis Avenue line
and maintenance costs uncU~r the proposed modified plan;
Director McBride as1~ed Director Warner,for the record,
if the responsibility of Districts Nos.1,7 and 11 would
cease f or the cost of operation and maintenance and any
future additional construction costs of the reversed Ellis
Avenue line after that line had once been completed with
bond funds.Director Warner stated that it was his under
standing that the responsibility of Districts Nos.1,7 and
11 would cease at the time the line was completed.
Director Haiber stated that under the proposed modified
plan,some of the Districts would own capacity rights in
a line which they would not use and asked that if a
line should fail and have to be reconstructed wo’ild
the Districts owning the capacity rights but not using
them have to pay for rebuilding~the line.Mr,Nisson,
legal counsel for the Districts,stated that in the
absence of an agreement these Districts would not be
responsible.

Ordering the pre Director Warden requested

-
pricing re~ort~iriodifying the bond plan by
reduction of size of the lines
and capacity in the treatment plant,stating that
plans and spcificat~,ons for the treatment plant being
60%complete,if facilities could be built with funds
available by such modification,considerable time and
expense might be saved.The design engineers were
requested to submit a proposal of estimated costs
based upon Director Warden’s su~gestion.A verbal
proposal to be confirTned in writin~was made by the
desi,~engineers that for a fee of ,?5,000.OO,Harrison
&Woolley,and Headman,Ferguson &Carollo,would
prepare a pricing report covering estimates of the
costs of:
1.Treatment Plant ;~L2 at site near present
Booster Station based upon the preliminary
plans previously submitted Eand as ordered
modified by the Boards of Directors upon
the recommendation of the Chief Engineer
and General Manager arid for which final
plans are now 60%complete.
2.Treatment Plant #2 at same site as above,
but reduced in oepacity from the ~mgd,

of 24.29 mgd,except thatthe pump pit will
be predicated upon ~mgd as agreed to
be necessary by Mr.McBride.
3.Treatment Plant #2 at same site as above,but
reduced in capacity from ~mgd to such
lesser oapacit~as~canbe built for
approximately ‘iP9OO~°oo,which is the available
money left for treatment plant purposes.
