Legislature approves $1.54 million capital project for wastewater plant replacement design
Summary
The committee approved creating a new capital project funded with bonding for $1,537,340 to fund design-development and early construction-phase services to replace an aging wastewater treatment plant; the project includes capacity and permitting work and was labeled legislative request number 266.
Committee members approved a supplemental appropriation to create a new capital project, using bonding in the amount of $1,537,340, to fund the design-development phase and related services to replace an aging wastewater treatment plant whose existing infrastructure dates to 1957.
Donna Strecker, identified in the meeting as director of finance (value center), presented a cost breakdown in the project attachment: design development services (~$66,000), construction documents (~$371,000), bidding services (~$49,000), construction services (just over $1,000,000), and additional services for increased capacity and permit modifications (~$49,000). The request was identified as legislative request number 266.
During discussion, committee members asked about current capacity; meeting remarks referenced the plant’s capacity at about 250,000 gallons per day. A motion to approve the appropriation was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote recorded as “Aye.”
The committee did not specify a construction start date in the meeting; staff noted that a new capital project would be created upon approval and that additional design and permitting work would follow.
