Long term implications of this decision will be <br />discussed by Utility Committee on October 27, 2017 and how it might affect rate <br />structures or delaying other projects. <br />This project has been discussed at Utility Committee on several occasions with the <br />onginal budget in mind Bids were received after the last Utility Committee meeting <br />Why costs are higher need new backup power generation for existing facilities and the <br />new pump station. South plant can pump to high and mid zone, North plant to high and <br />low zone, there is no flexibility to get water to mid zone from north plant so added a <br />connection to the project that allows the north plant to deliver to mid zone. This will help <br />with capacity during the summer. <br />Public Comments — None <br />Councilmember Keany understood the original estimates were low from the design firm. <br />Director Kowar agreed and noted all bids received were very close in price. He <br />commented it is disappointing when consultants miss the estimate, but pricing is so <br />volatile right now it is not unusual. Councilmember Keany noted this was not a staff <br />error but the consultant's estimate <br />
