Tapping and Inserting Co. Inc .
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and the
members of the City Council with information to award a contract
for a 16-inch water main valve insertion for the Water Department .
BACKGROUND
The Water Department ordinarily installs water main valves that
require interruption of water flow to properties connected to the
r main. In some areas, such as near hospitals, the water flow cannot
be interrupted. While many companies can insert plugs to stop
water flow, only one company has been found that can install a
water valve without interruption of the flow. Free Flow' s valve
inserting process permits the 16-inch valves to be inserted into
the water main without interruption of flow. Free Flow 16-inch
valves have been installed successfully in the City on Douglas
Avenue near Jefferson Street and on East Chicago Street, east of
Douglas Avenue .
The installation shall take place this year 100 feet north of
Larkin Avenue near St . Joseph Hospital for a cost of $18, 900 .
