Bacharach & Company of Kansas City, Missouri, after making a final inspection of the swimming pool. filter and recirculating system in our gymnasium, has offered the suggestions in his letter of May 14.. A carbon copy of the same is attached, for your observation. : After removing the filter, rock and gravei from the mammoth steel drum, Mr. Livingston recommends a replacement cf 100 brass bushings and loo Type § strainers, together with 2100 pounds of filter gravel and 4200 pounds of Blue Diamond filter sand. The total is $107.00. This sand and gravel come from Red Wing, Mimnesota, and it is apparently the only sharp-grained sand that will do the job. This material is necessary to get the filter functioning for our Summer School program. This is a "must", and it is listed as an emergency. I am there- fore sending a requisition through the Business Uffice for this needed material, You will see by Mr. Livingston's letter that his total bid is $847.00, including the item of $107.00 for sand and so forth. Therefore, I would like to recommend to the Budget Committee that we ask Mr. Livingston to go ahead with the recirculating pump and motor and the other additional items that he mentions in his letter. The other items would amount to $740.00. This includes the labor of insiailation, plumbers, and material and all equ&pment. This is a bid to complete the gob. I asked Mr. Livingston for the address of some tile and marble people so that we could get bids on the possible installation of the 1275 tile to replace the broken ones. Of course this would be an additional expenditure and rather a heavy onee I am going ahead and asking that these various firms submit bids for the replacement of these tile and I will submit that to you at an early dates I called attention to the heavy expense to the University through the leakage of five thousand gallons a day due to faulty tile.
