WATER COMMITTEE REPOHT
The water committee met on July 24th at lO:OOA.M. All members present. Also
the Engineer.
The Tenders for the paintinr; of the south end Hater Tower were
reveived.
The following prices
B. PHILLIP
C. H. HEIST
(>vATEHDOWl'T ONTARIO)
R. D. MCCOLLUM
were submitted:
$12,075.00
$11,215.00
$12,110.00
These prices were for painting the tm~er 3 coats inside and out
also the lettering.
Since asking for Tenders it seems to appear as if two coats outside
will be sufficient.
The Connnittee got in touch with C.H. Heist Ltd. and asked what their
price would be if only two coats were used on the outside.
They informed us it would be $1.100.00 less.
Therefore the Hater Connnittee reconnnends that the bid of C.H.
Weist Ltd. for $10.115.00 be accepted.
This is for 3 coats inside, 2 coats outside and the lettering. The
work to start right after Labour Day.
