Wednesday. March 12,1980 Outfall

Contract $8.8 Million SWAINTON — Pandullo, Quirk Associates, the consulting engineers to the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority, have been chosen to receive a statewide award for engineering excellence for its design of the Ocean outfall in the Ocean City Region, which will cost almost $9 million

toinstall.

The New Jersey Consulting Engineer Council presentation was made recently at Forsgate. Cited for innovative design approach and attention to protecting the environment through which it trt*els, Pandullo Quirk Associates' ocean outfall project will be submitted to national competition through the American Consulting Engineers Council. A CONSTRUCTION contract for the $8.8 million 60.000 ft. outfall was awarded Feb. 27 to Spencer. White & Prentis Inc. of Rochelle Park. N.J. Work is expected to begin in April. No work can be done on the beach or ocean areas between June 15 and September 16. The Ocean City ojitfall will be the first in the area to be completely buried, with the average depth 5-6 ft. below existing bottom and at least 3 feet below the lowest ocean bottom elevation recorded since 1896 when records were first started. THE CAPE May County MU A members were told that shellfish actually would be improved in the backbay areas once the new treatment plant and outfall are on-line, sometime in 1981. MUA acting executive director George Marinakis congratulated the Pandullo Quirk organization. "We are pleased too that the outfall construction bid came in $430,000 less than the engineers estimate,

he said.

Snow In Before 4-Wheelers

The township police department could have made good use of its two new 4-wheel drive vehicles during the recent snowstorm. Unfortunately, the two vehicles haven’t arrived from the factory; fortunately, the snow wasn't that deep. Township committee recently awarded the $19,200 contract for the two Suburban 4-Wheelers to Burke Motor Sales of Wildwood, as the lowest responsible bidder of two dealers who bid. With an $811 trade-in allowance, the net cost to the township was $18,389 CHIEF ROBERT Denny previously told the Lantern that vehicles which will be used in routine patrol, were needed so the municipality would have mobility in times of snow stofVns and when it’s necessary to travel over sand dunes or on the beach.

The chief said March 3 he expected the two new vehicles to be delivered within about six weeks. Mr. Denny said the SaturdaySunday snow did^H cause any major problebis this time around. (It was the storms of the past two winters that precipitated the 4-wheelers’ purchase). At one point Saturday afternoon, shortly after the snow began, there were minor accidents all at the same time on three of the four major bridges in the township — Route 109, Seashore Rd. and George Reading. , '•WE LUCKED OUT,” the chief said of the major-storm-that-wasn’t; Mr. Denny pointing out that folks in the South weren’t so lucky, as in Elizabeth City. N.C. where people had to contend with 26 inches and 50 knot winds. The chief added he didn't think the Cape would get a major snow during the remainder of the winter. The township committee also announced recently the awarding of a $12,900 contract to Roads Machinery Inc. for a used 9-wheel pneumatic roller which included a new highway-safety yellow paint job.
