Next week, a new larger and hine is to be demonstrated to the Delivery of materials still holds up the final completion of the plant. The Contractor has now received a delivery date of mid- January for the needed material. A request for an extension of time has been filed frith our consulting engineers and is being investigated by them as to its justification in accordance with the contract.documents. At the request of our pler_t operator, Mr. Gary Gleason, and after discussion with our consulting engineers and the Village Engineer, a request for an estimate for the cost of supplying a scum tank installation at the new plant was presented to our contractor, Stewart; and Bennett. The cost for providing such a scum tank, as bid as an extra by Stewart and Bennett is: labor - $1,973; material - $3,215; total - $5,188. It is recommended by the Engineer that this change and extra be authorized. It is recommended also by the Engineer that the changes and extras listed by the Clerk in her report be authorized by the Board. C Report of the Engineer November 1974 pge 2 We have received word from the County Resident Engineer of the Department of Transportation, Mr. Shannon, that the driveway construction for the new plant was not put in correctly by our contractor. Our consulting engineer was notified of this, and our contractor is on notice that the work must be corrected. Our contract documents call for the contractor to negotiate with and meet all the requirements of the New York State Department of Transportation in the installs - tion of these driveways within the State right of way. We also have been notified that Mr. Leonard Liberman has written to our contractor stating that the work the contractor did on his adjoining driveway at the north entrance to the sewer plant was not done according to his instructions. This matter also was referred to our consulting engineers, Teetor - Dobbins. REFUSE COLLECTION Although there has been notification on radio and newspaper that, due to certain holidays, our refuse collection would be delayed by a day or not delayed because we did not observe a holiday, there still is confusion with the announcements in the paper and over the radio by the City of Ithaca concerning their trash collec- tion. It is the recommendation of the Engineer that the Board authorize the Village trash collection crew to operate with the seine holidays as the City of Ithaca in relation to postponed pickups. This does not necessarily mean we would have to change our vacation days for the other work crew; and if it were necessary • for a refuse collection crew to work on a day when the rest of the Village would have a holiday, they would get equivalent time off at another acceptable time. The Engineer and the Public Works Foreman have met with the Engineer of the Town of Ithaca to discuss the installation of the Bolton Point road. Some of our workmen have already put in some time in cleaning and grubbing the water treatment plant site, and we are on call for the work as planned for by the Town of Ithaca Engineer. STREETS The rain early in the week caused collapse of the retaining wall on the Blomquist property on Iroquois Road. Rockfill will be placed in the area this week to support the remaining wall and also the land in the area where the wall collapsed. This provides support for Iroquois Road. ADDITION TO VILLAGE STORAGE BUILDING A bid has been received to provide the additional six hundred square feet of storage for a price of $2,390. This provides all materials and labor for this work except for the concrete floor and the insulation which will be installed by the Village work force. VILLAGE HALL • There is no insulation in the roof of the Village Hall. It is the recommendation of the Engineer that insulation be purchased and installed by our work force. J. B.
