This is the third in a series nf six articles on the South Suburban Sanitary District By TOM STI.MMEL Any and all questions about street repairs in the South Subur ban area lead directly to the mud- caked oliice threshold of the South Suburban Sanitary District. The sanitary district is inextricably in volved. Dozens of questions have been asked by persons who are irri tatcd, or interested, ,or who have axes to grind. A majority of ques tions boil down to these: 1. Why wasn't the contractor bonded? Why did the riisiikt let itself gel a bum deal? 2. Why wasn't the contractor held responsible for street re pairs? Why did the district let him get away? oodmobiic Visit Slated A.Catogory 5 alert at Fort Lewis, Washington, involving all persons on duty at the post, forced can celation of a scheduled four-day visit of the Red Cross Bloodmo bile. Loss nf this operation pro duced an acute shortage in blood at the Red Cross center in Port- ind This shortage wilt be reflected throughout the area served by the program, which distributes the blood collected by the mobile units in various communities to Hie 80 hospitals served by the Red Cross Regional officials have arranged for an emergency drawing in Med ford Friday, and urge Klamath Basin residents to make an all- out effort to exceed (he quota for the Tuesday and Wednesday vis its of the bloodmobile to this com munity to restore the center's sup ply. Appointments may he made by phoning the Red Cross headquar ters, TU 4-4125, or the blood pro gram chairman. Mrs, Winston Pur viiie, TU 2-1565. Donor hours Tuesday are from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Elks Lodge. On Wednesday, the unit moves to the Service Club at Kingsley Field, with hours from 10 a.m. i 2 p.m. Civilian donors unable to come to the Tuesday operation are welcome at the military drawing at Kingsley Field, Wednesday. The answers, said Maurice Gun- derson, the district's construction boss, are: 1. The contractor was bond cd. Period. By jobs, performance bonds amounted to $1,388,747 for the sewer lines, $I5.134 for the disposal ponds, and $70,530 for the pump house. Total: $1.!B,4!2. 2. The contractor was not re sponsible for street repairs. The district assumed that responsibil ity. "We didn't let him get away," Gunderson said. "He discharged his obligations in every respect." The district did hold the con tractor responsible for street dam ages, and it is withholding about $20,000 from contract payment un it! datrsnges arc settled. Damage Distinction There is a distinction between damages and repairs. This distinc tion is under discussion now. The district claims its S29.WK) damages on paved streets; the- contractor claims even paved streets were in such bad condition when he started work that the resulting mess is not his fault. The ques tion has not been resolved, but the district appears to be adamant. j Significantly, the dispute con-i corns only paved streets. It docs not involve graveled and dirt streets. The reasons the South Suburban Sanitary District took these repairs upon itself appear. from Gundcrson's explanation. So include less money and more time. The explanation is complicated be cause it involves details of con struction. Among ways a contractor can dig a sewer ditch, lay a line, and fill the hole are what construction men call Class C excavation and Class D excavation. Class D is the nicest. Under this arrangement the contractor hauls excavation dirt away and fills his open trench with new gravel. The oretically, this grave! fill blends perfectly with a gravel road sur face, or provides a firm base for repair on a paved street. Class D excavation costs $1,90 a foot. Class C excavation is not so pretty. Under this arrangement the contractor fills his open trench with the dirt he took from it, and piles what's left on top in long. iismpy "windrows that stay where they arc until dirt in the ditch settles. Kveittttally, excess dirt is hauled away. Class C construction costs 90 cents a foot. Excavation Classes Kenneth Nelson Company of Pasco, Washington, laid 203.9K1 feel of sewer imcs for the dis trict, down to depths of 24 feel Some Class D excavation was em ployed under paved streets, but most work was Class C. This job cost $312,213. If Class D excava ,ion had been employed exclusive ly, the cost would have been $K73. 3.W. The saving, by Gundcrson's figures, was $3HS.14H. Both Class C and Class 1 ex cavation involve only the "pipe zoi.e" that portion of a street under which a sewer Sine is laid, "Th rest of the street is ttoi the contractor's business," Gundeisoti said. The rest of a greal many streets became somebody's business be cause whole roads collapsed, m She process of digging a pipe zone Memorable examples were on; Homcdale Road, w here the street j sloughed away to create a minia ture canyon eight feet deep and; 35 feel wide, and then flooded; and; on Leland Drive, where the street i caved inls a ditch 40 feel aide. from property line to properly line. "If Ihe contractor had been re sponsible for repairing all streets," Gunderson predicted. he'd have gone broke a long time igo. and so would we." : He said contractor responsibility for unpaved street repairs would have cost, by conservative esti mate, $254.fltK. Present street re pairs are not permanent, he said "It will he a year before this lhi:ig is finished (he way we want it to be. It'll probably cost $7.VW." At the beginning, the district having assumed street repair re sponsibility, an elior! was made to fix streets as ctjusErmlims i" M along. Gntdi.alty, street repairs hid to wait because money was gelling tighter and tighter. Next; District Finances, IT'S A WONPSRFUfc STQtl We!Mo-woil or foomsi Kugt. Guerar?tee(i Expert InsroaJton!
