K. S. Berlin - Engineering - Disposal Plants and Interceptor Lines
Nx. Berlin, representing the J.J. Rady Engineering Company, met with the
Council relative to the delay in the-,lest Main and Hmrble Property Disposal Plant
bid projects and the elimination of the Durain Ferry Lift Station with the exten-
sion of the sanitary sewer collection lines.to the idest Main Disposal Plant. At
the time the Council had awarded his firm the contracts, he had proposed to nego-
tiate for Federal aid in the improvement projects as the government had made pro-
vision for such grants to be made if the projects proved to be eligible. The
proposal will be presented on May 25th, however, it will not be known if the
application will be approved and funds available until after July 1st. Atthis
time if Congress will make the appropriation then'the money will be available for
a 30% Government grant on the overall cost. He assured the Council that Baytown
should bet a grant on the disposal plant projects however, he doubted if the Derain
Ferry Lift station project would come under the approved projects. it was suggested
that the firm proceed to advertise for bids, however; no contracts will be let until
after May.. The time element can be so arranged that a'delay can be made in the
awarding of the contracts without injury to the city.
