The Water Committee has met on numerous occasions concerning the previsions set forth in Resolution The Committee reviewed the results of running-in tests on the overhauled Byrun-Jacksun pump, subject matter of Consoer Townsend & Associates report of June 19, 1~1. The Committee felt, after review of the specifications contained in Contract #B, that the running-in test was based on estimates and contrary to the specifications as set forth in Contract #3. As a consequence, a test in accordance with these specifications was arranged and run at 10:00 A.M. Friday, July 21, 19~1. Results of this test was fur- nished the Water Committee in Consoer, Townsend & Associates report of July 28, 1981. Results of the test were carefully reviewed by the Committee and discussed at length with the Water Superintendent. Even though there were certain modifications to the specifications set forth in Resolution 9-81, pertaining specifically to Item ~8 and the setting of the pump at 608 feet instead of the .YSO feet as specified, the results of the test and recommendations by Conscer Townsend were acceptable by the Committee. In the interest of not prejudicing the rights of the Village of Mount Prospect as to claims against Consoer Townsend & Associates, Wil-Freds, Inc., Byron- Jackson Pumps, Inc., and M. P. Schneller & Associates with respect to the failure of operation of the pu~ing unit in Well #8, the Committee did not wish to recommend any further payment under Contract #3 and its supplement for reasons outlined im Resolution #9-81, until such time as Village Attorney Hofert had an opportunity to review both the contracts involved and the circumstances related thereto. The latter was accompl~sshed and a letter from Attorney Hofert was directed to the writer's attention in which it was recommended that the Village Board recognize the lack of liability on the part of the principals aforementioned with the recommendations to proceed accordingly. The Water Committee met and reviewed all developments concerning Resolution 9-81 and Attorney Hofert's recommendation. The Committee agreed to recommend to the Village ~oard that full acceptance of the job to date be made and that the Village be authorized to issue a draft to the general contractor~in payment for the work done to date.
