How long out of date of its life expectancy did we travel?

Mr. Boucher

We are at about 19 years right now. We contacted other facilities, it's hard to say because the particular model
we have, you know, there’s very few out there. But the diaphragm is expected to last about 15 years so we
went beyond that. We talked to some facilities, larger facilities, they just change them out every 10 years
whether it needs it or not. But you should be able to get 15 years out of this, at least.

ON THE QUESTION
Mr. Kohalmi

So we had a partial sewer pipe collapse back three or four, five months ago, Commercial Street; but under the
old railroad bridge. We went out and inspected the area and there are 3 or 4 structures that need to be
replaced and 3 or 4 pipes that need to be replaced as well. So this is a contract that’s going to take care of
that.

Mr. Kohalmi

Sure, sure, late 1800’s, yeah.

Alderman Klee

Thank you. When | was looking at the bids | noticed that from the lowest to the highest we were looking at
about $100,000.00 difference. What would be that significant that they would literally almost double?

Mr. Kohalmi

So they will clean the sewer pipe out a little bit with a water jet and they will put a remote camera down the
pipe. After they get the video, they send it to our Department for review. | think we are looking to video 60,000
linear feet which should identify quite a bit of old sewers that need rehab or replacement.

| interviewed 4 of the 5, | had trouble tracking down one of the gentlemen, so | spot checked two other ones
including NFR Project that is currently going on. | spoke with the Deputy Chief regarding their project.

Everybody had very positive reviews, long term work with Eaton & Associates, | didn’t receive any negative
feedback on the company and the firm itself.

Mayor Donchess

Already well thank you. Any questions or discussion?

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

| believe we have a couple people from the PD in case you'd like to, why don’t you just come on up? There
may not be any questions but at least you get to say hello. Just sit down in the chairs, that’d be good. I’m not
sure everyone has heard about this project, so maybe just tell us a little about it.
