Greendale approves $76,100 in initial engineering tasks to advance water‑plant PER and SRF application
Summary
The board approved the first two task items from American Structure Point totaling $76,100 so Greendale can complete a preliminary engineering report required for State Revolving Fund and community project funding applications; a larger full design fee of $594,200 was discussed but not fully approved tonight.
The Greendale Board authorized staff to proceed with the first two task items from American Structure Point — project management and the preliminary engineering report (PER)/basis of design — at a combined cost of $76,100. Staff said completing the PER is a prerequisite for applying to the state SRF program and can also be used as matching documentation for congressional community project funding requests.
A broader lump‑sum engineering fee of $594,200 for full planning and design work was presented in the packet and discussed during the meeting, but the board limited its approval to the initial tasks so the city can meet SRF/IUP deadlines and decide on full design authorization later. Members raised operational concerns including salt‑storage containment at the water plant and whether fluoride/chloride treatment issues would require additional design work; staff said they will consult the engineer (Karen Sevidra) about those points and incorporate mitigation options into the PER.
Next steps: American Structure Point will begin project management and PER tasks once staff completes contract authorization for the $76,100; staff will return to the board with PER findings and recommendations for potential further design authorization and funding options.
