Shadow Mountain water project gets EPA-directed funds; procurement split into phases
Summary
Staff said congressionally directed EPA funding for the Shadow Mountain ARPA project was approved last week and that the county will break the work into pump procurement, neighborhood main-line construction, and a separately EPA-funded reservoir project; pumps procurement will be advertised next week.
Susan, a county staff member, told commissioners that congressionally directed EPA funding for the Shadow Mountain ARPA project was approved last week and that staff plan to divide the overall scope into multiple procurements to match available funding streams.
"That funding has been approved as of last week," Susan said. Staff described three procurement tracks: (1) purchase of pumps to move water from the existing pump station to the neighborhood water system, (2) a construction contract to build the main lines and connect the pump station, and (3) a separate EPA-funded procurement to build a permanent reservoir. Susan said staff will advertise the pumps procurement next week and expected construction contracts to follow under ARPA and EPA funding allocations.
Break-split procurement, staff said, helps align ARPA dollars for work that the county will complete this year while using EPA funds for the reservoir component. Commissioners asked whether future development could connect to the new lines; staff said developers would need to build their own hookups but could tie into the new mains.
Next steps: pumps procurement advertised next week; staff will return with bid results and recommended awards.
