Jim Kaercher and Mike Alberi from HKM Associates presented and reviewed the
site plan layout and costs estimate.
The original rough estimated cost was $3,649,393 and has now been revised and
updated to $5,049,476, which is $1,400,083 more. The City's 25% share would
come to $1,262,369. Discussion.
A question was asked if EPA will fund the total increased costs. Mr. Kaercher
reported that we have contacted the State and they are willing because the City
of Laurel is a major city and a major plant in the State. Second part they
have to have is the money from EPA and that's where they really won't commit
themselves. They stated that their 1982 budget hasn't been in yet and they
don't know what it will be. They suggest that they will have at least another
million. But they can't guarantee anything at this time, but they should
know by this fall.
If this is put up for bid and the funding isn't there, then cuts will have to
be made.
Discussion.
There will be a need for approximately a $900,000 bond issue and Dave Michael
reported that these will have to be in hand before the bid is let.
Discussion.
HKM is in the process of beginning a rate study and they will advise us later
and have a discussion on bonding.
There was discussion about not making any cuts at this time and go for the
$5,049,476 project because some of the items cut would not get done at a later
time. If we don't get the full funding, make cuts at that time.
Motion by Alderman Marvin Carter that the City go ahead with the project
estimate of $5,049,476, seconded by Alderman Meyers. Carried.
The time table is to have the specs this fall and go to bid in late fall or
early winter and construction to begin
Meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
