Board approves multiple SRF disbursements and hears progress reports on water and sewer projects
Summary
The Crown Point Board approved several SRF disbursements tied to long-running water and wastewater projects, heard that the 24-inch water main and Southeast wastewater plant closings are targeted for May 18, and received an update that the Lehi lead service line program has replaced 230 lines with about $756,000 remaining in grant funds.
On May 6 the Board of Public Works and Safety approved a series of State Revolving Fund (SRF) disbursements and received status updates on major water and wastewater projects.
City staff presented final payment recommendations to close the Base 4 water utility improvements project and recommended SRF disbursements numbers 65, 51 and 52 for mayoral signature; the board approved each by voice vote.
Staff also reported the SRF environmental review for the 24-inch water supply line had been republished and that the 30-day comment period meant the anticipated loan closing was set for May 18. The downtown interceptor construction is progressing, with staff reporting recent progress meetings and that the project is close to completing phases 1 and 6.
The Lehi service line replacement project — aimed at removing lead service lines — has replaced 230 lines to date under a $5,000,000 grant, with approximately $4,200,000 spent and about $756,000 remaining. Staff said about 1,100 home inspections remain (secondary verification after meter-pit inspection) and that some contractor work could resume in July to exhaust remaining funds before the final phase.
Several SRF requests for partial payments were brought to the board and approved: disbursement 27 ($29,176) and disbursement 29 ($30,414) for reimbursement on existing contracts, SRF disbursement 9 ($985,146) and related retainage for the downtown wastewater contractor, disbursement 28 (payment $77,000 and retainage $4,053), and disbursement 19 ($220,006.38) for professional services to deplete that loan account. Staff said additional construction loan funds (approximately $3,000,000) and funds tied to the treatment plant closing (stated in meeting as $69,000,000) would become available through procurement and project closings.
Staff also updated the board on the Southeast wastewater treatment plant, noting pre-construction meetings and permit submittal; final project phases for collection system improvements were reported as complete at the design stage and under permitting. The Imperial Heights Sewer Rehabilitation was described as being supported by an Army Corps grant (described in the meeting as approximately $1,000,000), with procurement and professional-service agreements being finalized.
The board approved each presented disbursement by voice vote. Staff said they will return with final-closing confirmations and further schedule details at future meetings.
