Comment: Two bids were received for the Washington Street Bridge Deck Replacement Project. The bids are as follows: Cramer R Associates, Inc. $190,866.30 Hanson Concrete Company 165,994.27 Engineer's Estimate 131 963.00 Engineer's Estimate (less item q4) 127,963.00 Action: Hanson Concrete submitted the low bid which is 26% over the Engineer's Estimate. After contacting other prospective bidders, it was determined that there is plenty of work for small bridge contractors this construction season. One item in the contract, sandblasting and pointing, is not worth the $16,000 hid ($4,000 Engineer's Estimate) and Hanson Concrete has agreed to delete this item from the contract. The Engineering Division, therefore, recommends that Council award the contract with Item q4 (sandblasting and pointing) deleted. Total contract price is then $149,994.27 and 17% over the Engineer's Estimate of $127,963.00. Item No. 10 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION AWARDING FOUR CONTRACTS AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST SAID CONTRACTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE IOWA CITY SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER.

These bids, including alternates, are less than the estimated cost of remodeling the structure. General Revenue funds will not he necessary to finance the project as sufficient funds from other sources are available.

Page 7 Item No. 14 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 28-3 AND SECTION 28-36 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF IOWA CITY, IOWA. (first reading) Comment: The purpose of this ordinance is to amend the Uniform Plumbing Code by adding requirements for the registration of apprentice plumbers which will not only indicate who works in the profession, but will be beneficial in establishing a beginning period for apprentices who wish to apply for their journeyman's license. This ordinance also regulates the minimum sized vent pipes and waste pipes that must be used in the installation of plumbing fixtures. This ordinance also allows for the use of a loop -type j venting system for island sink and lavatories and in remodeling work. This loop -type venting system is a system that has been used in Iowa City for several years, however, has never been in total compliance with the Plumbing Code. It is the recommendation of the Plumbing Board and the plumbers themselves that this loop system be utilized in special situations with the approval of the Plumbing Inspector. These amendments have been reviewed by the Plumbing Board of Appeals and the Board recommends that the Council adopt this ordinance. A copy of the proposed ordinance was attached to the agenda of April 8, 1980.
