Summary

Sussex County Council approved a $488,300 contract amendment June 10 for design and bidding services for Warwick Park Phase 2 septic elimination.

Sussex County Council approved Amendment No. 1 to a miscellaneous engineering contract June 10 to fund design and bidding services for Warwick Park Phase 2.

Assistant County Engineer Mauser said the county closed a Delaware DNREC State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan on March 14 for $9,963,400 to support the Warwick Park Phase 2 septic elimination project. County staff told the council that the project will connect 192 homes to nearby inland bays regional wastewater facility, eliminating on‑site septic systems and is estimated to remove about 7,200 pounds of total nitrogen from Indian River Bay each year.

Mauser said George Miles & Buhr (GMB), one of four firms on the county’s A&E on‑call list and the designer for Phase 1, provided a proposal of $488,300 for design and bidding services for Phase 2. The council approved Amendment No.1 to the EJCDC 2024 miscellaneous engineering fees contract with GMB in an amount not to exceed $488,300.

Council recorded the motion and voted unanimously to approve the amendment. Engineering staff said the wastewater will be conveyed approximately two miles north to the inland bays regional wastewater facility.
