AN ORDINANCE, confirming a contract with E. J. Fischer
for the relocation of the lower terminus of a public sub-trunk
sanitary sewer, called the Maline Creek Bissell Hills Sanitary
Sewer, situated East of Bellefontaine Road at St. Cyr Road in the
City of Bellefontaine Neighbors, St. Louis County, Missouri, with
an emergency clause.
WHEREAS, the Executive Director has proceeded under the
emergency power of Section Three, Ordinance No. 164 as amended, to
invite bids for emergency work, and
WHEREAS, the emergency consists of a breakage of a
sanitary sewer called the Maline Creek-Bissell Hills Sanitary
Sewer, situated East of Bellefontaine Road at St. Cyr Road in the
City of Bellefontaine Neighbors, St. Louis County, Missouri, at
Maline Creek, as a result of which raw sewage flows into Maline
Creek, and
WHEREAS, such sewer is so situated as to obstruct the
floodwater flow of Maline Creek and is continually endangered by
the piling up against it of driftwood and other weighty objects,
and such sewer has been continually damaged and repaired, and
WHEREAS, it is deemed to be a waste of public funds to
repair the present complete breakage without relocating such
sewer, and
WHEREAS, it is feasible in making such relocation to
remove such sewer from underneath improvements of the Gustafson
Nursing Hone without use of public funds because such Home has
unconditionally deposited in escrow with Security Title Company
$5,700.00 to be used for the project, and
WHEREAS, the lowest responsible bid received by the
Executive Director for the entire relocation project is in the sum
of $20,057.10, of which $14,357.10 would be payable from public
funds, held in the Operating Fund of the Maline Creek Trunk
Subdistrict, and
WHEREAS, the work consists of the laying of some 711
lineal feet of pipe, work necessarily incidental thereto, and the
relocation of the connection to the public sewer system of the
improvements of said Gustafson Nursing Home, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees finds such work
necessary for the protection of the public health and deems it to
be in the public interest to proceed with it at once,
