Water Bid
Extended
s The Alaska Public Works
las extended .thd'time for re
eiving SeSlSS bfds for water
supply reservoir dams, pump
ing station, pipeline and chlori
nator for the Kodiak water
project from March 26, 1952
to April 16, 1952.
The addendum te the Notice
to Contractors notice was
issued last week by Donald R.
Wilson, district director for
the APW.
The District Public Works
officer at 17th Naval District
headquarters repuested the
APW to extend the time limit
on the bidding so that Drake
Puget Sound could have time
to get in a bid, Wilson ad
vised the city council.
Earlier, it was announced
that five contractors or con
struction companies had writ-1
ten to Wilson requesting
copies of plans and specifica
tions for the water project.
Two weeks ago it was re
ported during a council meet
ing that Johnson, Drake and
Piper and Puget Sound Bridge
and Dredge had requested the
specifications. The company
currently holds a contract for
building at Kodiak Naval
Station.
Too High Voltage
For Station
Plans for the new pumping
station of the proposed water
and sewer project call for
480 volt power. Leon Johnson,
KEA superintendent, has ad
vised the council that 240 volt
power is standard for KEA
plants.
Johnson wrote the council
that he had informed Hubbell
and Waller Engineering Corp.,
who drew the plans for the A
laska Public Works project,
regarding the voltage here.
Johnson stated in the letter
that the engineering corpora
tion had not answered his
letter.
While the KEA can supply
transformers for the 480 volt
power it will be impractical
and expensive, Marshall
Crutcher, KEA board mem
ber, told the council Monday
night.
The council requested Bob
Hedloff, city clerk, to write
Donald Wilson, district direc
tor of the APW, regarding
the matter. Hedloff, for the
city, will request that the
plans be changed so that the
pumping unit will use 240 volt
power.

said.
