Sanitary engineer outlines Shawnee plant work, $2M Hume funding pursuit and $32M Project BOSC contribution
Summary
Sanitary engineering staff briefed commissioners on Shawnee wastewater upgrades and collection improvements, said they will seek $2 million in principal-forgiveness funds for the Hamlet of Hume sewer work, and reported Project BOSC includes a $32 million developer contribution for a new pump station; Indianbrook upgrades estimated at about $600,000.
Sanitary engineering staff updated the Board of Allen County Commissioners on Feb. 17 about several water and sewer capital projects, funding plans and procurement steps.
Brad Niemeyer and Ron Meyer provided a quarterly update on the Shawnee Waste Water Treatment Plant project and Shawnee collection system improvements. The pair said the Hamlet of Hume sewer-improvement project will pursue approximately $2 million in principal-forgiveness funds to pay down project debt and reduce borrowing costs.
Commissioners were told the Indianbrook pump station upgrade is estimated to cost about $600,000. The Neely Road project is currently on hold because it did not qualify for available funding and may be revisited next year.
Officials also discussed Project BOSC, which includes a developer commitment of $32 million toward the pump station. Staff described capital-permit and tap-fee estimates and noted the county expects to advertise for a construction manager-at-risk (CMAR) to handle construction of the new pump station; capital-permit revenue was estimated in the minutes at about $3.125 million.
Commissioners received the sanitary update as part of their regular county projects review. No final procurement decisions were recorded in the minutes; staff said CMAR procurement and related agenda items are expected to appear for formal approval in coming weeks.
