Title
Approval of the revised site layout of the new Water Treatment Plant.
Presented by Stuart Moring, Director of Public Works/Environmental
Body
Item Summary:
Staff is nearing the 30% Design Milestone, which includes completing and submitting the Preliminary Engineering Report to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. This report identifies all of the design components, processes and technical limits of the new plant. A site plan has been determined based on the previous direction from Mayor and Council with a goal of beginning construction by early 2014. With that schedule in mind, Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. has developed a revision to the site layout to preserve more of the adjacent site to be used as park/open space. Another important milestone is submitting the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority loan application.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On May 14, 2013 the Public Safety and Public Works Committee recommended placing this Item on the May 29, 2013 Mayor and Council Agenda.
Financial Impact:
Jacobs Engineering Group has provided an estimate of $45,000 to $75,000 additional costs for the revised site layout; however, this number could be reduced or completed offset based on other aspects of the layout. This amount is within the allocated contingency for the total project.
