The information has been forwarded to the Legal Department to be reviewed. After legal reviews, staff will distribute to Committee members and wait for any comments, etc., and then will proceed with mailing the letters out to the two companies involved. 2. Davis Stock CSO Stga Task Project Jim explained that the contractors will he starting within a week or 80. one issue that came up was in the fabrication of the pre- cast unite. The bid was put out separately and American Concrete had one set of forms to construct these with and they ordered three other sets to be fabricated from a company out of Connecticut. They did not receive these as quickly as expected, but the eats have since been received, and work will begin shortly. Jim also mentioned to the Committee that there are three CSO facilities that need to be built. One location is behind the Hydra's maintenance garage on Main Street. This Would service a great part of the west aide of Bangor. Because of the problem with access, staff is looking at other options including the area behind Bass Park. Staff does have a preliminary layout that is a variation of the waterfront project which uses a series of parallel installations of the same type connected by a manifold. It would be located in the parking lot area immediately north of the larger drainage swale at Bass Park. The location for the third project is on the Renduskeag in the area immediately adjacent to Bangor Hardware. There is another very tight space. Staff is looking at a similar installation. 3. Ratten Street Sewer Project This is a project that is out to bid. This would be to alleviate basement flooding on Walter Street. Staff's recommendation is to pick up much of the flow from the main sewer branch coming in to Patten and eliminate the cross country run to Walter run. It would be a fairly short project.Jim explained that as part of this project, the street will be widened. n Work continues on this project. Staff will continue to keep the Committee informed. 5. pndate - staff Activities *Brad informed the Committee a couple of months ago that the State had nominated nated the City's pre-treatment program to be placed in a national competition. Cities in Colorado received first and second place, but it was an honor for the City was recognized by the state. *Brad commented that the second letter for the roof drain disconnection program has been mailed out. * Brad met with the Bangor Water District to go over their proposal for billing software. The one that fits their needs the beat is a package from Advantage Data Systeme on Main Street. Brad And copies for anyone an the committee that would like to review it.

The current software will only be able to be used up until December 31, 1999 because it is not Year 2000 compliant. There are other options that staff will look at and will continue to update the Committee. 6.
