Honorable Mayor and Council,
Smyrna, Georgia
Gentlemen:
LOWELL CADY
C. E. DRUMMOND. JR.
We wish to submit the following proposal for engineering services
in connection with the proposed improvements to the City►s sewer-
age system and water system.
We propose to review the preliminary work which has been completed
by Mr. M. J. Hensley and make such further necessary investigations
and surveys as required to prepare a preliminary comprehensive re-
port covering the proposed work.
The surveys, investigations and report to include:
(a) A study of your present sewerage system and water system
for the purpose of determining such changes, alterations or repairs,
which might be necessary.
(b) Measurements of the sewage flow.
(c) Studies of the present loads on the existing sewers, to-
gether with studies of the past and estimated future population
growth in the various areas of the City, in order to properly fix
the sizes of sewers recommended.
(d) Studies of the streams into which the sewage is discharged,
together with the volume of flow and the uses to which the water in
the streams is put, in order to determine the proper degree and method
of treatment which should be adopted.
(e) Determination of the most economical location of the sewage
treatment plant or plants and the best type of sewage treatment plant
to adopt under the local conditions.
(f) Prepare a plan of the City showing the location of existing
water mains and sewers and needed relief sewers, if any, the location
of outfall lines to treatment plant and the future sewer extensions
required to serve unsewered areas.
Hon. Mayor and Council Page 2. July 12, 1952
Smyrna, Georgia
(g) Prepare detail estimates of cost of the sewage treatment plant
or plants and other work broken down by drainage areas to indicate the
coat of severing the various sections.
(h) In carrying out this work, we will cooperate with the State
Board of Health and such other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction
and will submit to these agencies the preliminary report and any other
supplemental information as may be required for review and approval by
these agencies.
(i) It is understood that the City has pending an application with
the Housing and Home Finance Agency for a grant to aid.in financing this
work and we propose to -assist the City in preparing such application,
with supporting data, and agree to furnish the agency with a y other
supplemental data required by them.
Our fee for the above services will be based on our audited cost in salaries
and expenses., plus 25%.
We propose to conduct the survey as economically as possible in keeping
with the re uirements and estimate that the total cost will not exceed
the sum of 2,000.00. After payment of the fee for the preliminary report,
the City will be.under no further obligation to our firm in connection
with this work.
When ready to proceed, should the City desire to employ our firm to carry
out the work, our fee for the complete design, construction plans and
specifications, assistance in the award of contracts and general super-
vision of construction would be our usual fee of 6% of the cost of the
work done, 4% of which would be payable upon delivery of complete plans
and specifications and the balance due as construction progresses.
If authorized to proceed with complete construction plans, we will enter
into a formal contract with the City for this purpose, the terms and con-
ditions of which can be made mutually agreeable.
Very truly yours,
WIEDE M AND SIMLETON
