Summary

Staff reported a recent bid for water and sewer for the Chamberlain Business Park came in about $1,000,000 less than expected, potentially freeing funds to build the internal road and pave the project; staff described planned looped sewer and water connections.

Commission staff updated members on a planned road and utility extension to serve Chamberlain Business Park and surrounding parcels, describing a route from 100 South into the Cromwell property and back to the existing mains. "We ordered a bid to install a water and sewer, which was about at least 1,000,000 less than we expected," Charlie said, adding that favorable bid results may leave enough funds to proceed with the road work and paving.

Staff explained the design calls for a looped water connection and gravity sewer that will tie back to the sewer line on SR 50, which should allow future buildings in the park to tap into both water and sewer quickly. No formal contract award was taken at the meeting; staff said the project will be put out for bid for road construction when funding and specifications are finalized.
