Summary
At the Feb. 6 work session staff outlined a 2024 CWSRF sewer funding package (listed in packet as $14,960,00; presented here as approximately $14.96 million) and presented contract‑to‑date amounts for pump station/main work, PFAS treatment and sludge removal contractors.
At the Feb. 6 work session, Oscoda Township staff presented the sewer capital program and related funding status.
Staff described a 2024 Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) funding package shown in the packet at about $14.96 million (the transcript text listed $14,960,00; materials indicate a multi‑million dollar program). The packet lists planning and administration costs, a Rowe design contract, construction administration fees and a contingency line. Staff named several contractors and reported contract values to date: Elmer’s for pump station/main work, RCL for PFAS treatment, and Merrell for sludge removal, with a combined set of contract values to date and an overall contingency shown in the materials.
Board members reviewed the contract‑to‑date numbers and asked for clarification about phasing and contingencies. Staff responded that the items remain in the CIP and that funding structure relies on CWSRF terms including low‑interest loans and potential principal forgiveness for qualifying elements.
No formal contract awards or votes were taken at the work session; staff will bring specific contract actions to a future board meeting when recommended for approval.
