If you ever wanted to own a piece of the old Tempe Town Lake inflatable dam, now is your chance.
The inflatable dam was replaced with a new steel gate hinged dam two years ago. The inflatable rubber dam was cut into pieces for reuse or future sale. Some of the pieces were repurposed as art that has hung at Tempe Center for the Arts and other galleries. Details on both the original dam and the award-winning new one may be found at www.tempe.gov/lake.
The former dam was made of a rubber material with nylon reinforcement. It's approximately 1 inch thick. Pieces are available in 13' x 13' sheets and 40" x 40' rolls. There are 110 sheets and 13 rolls. People can bid to receive one piece or all of the material.
For details, please visit https://ww2.tempe.gov/bids/ and select item # 19-030. Questions about the material are due this Wednesday, July 25, by 5 p.m. Bids are due Aug. 8.
For questions regarding the material, please contact Jason Browne, City of Tempe Solid Waste, 480-350-8051.
