DISCUSSION:
Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility(VCWRF)currently has 18 primary clarifiers,consisting of 12 small 80-foot diameter clarifiers and six
large 160-ft diameter clarifiers, located in the southeast comer of the plant.The 12 small primary clarifiers which were constructed in 1956, 1963,
and 1971, have outlived their useful lives and are in need of replacement.This project provides for process evaluation and preliminary design for
the improvement and replacement of the 12 small primary clarifiers.
The proposed scope of services consists of process evaluation,technical memos, preliminary design, cost estimates, and assessment of
additional/improvement infrastructure necessary for the replacement of primary clarifiers 1-12.
CDM Smith, Inc.proposes to perform the necessary work for a fee not to exceed$1,433,000.00. In addition to the contract amount,$190,300.00
is required for project management and material testing.
This project is anticipated to be included in a future revenue bond issue for the Water and Sewer Fund.Available cash within the Water and Sewer
portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under the callable Commercial Paper Program(CP)will be used
to provide interim financing for this project until debt is issued.Once debt associated with this project is sold, bond proceeds will be used to
reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the attached reimbursement resolution. Under federal law,
debt must be issued within approximately three years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable.Adoption of the attached resolution does not
obligate the City to sell bonds,but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond proceeds.
