<br /> -...,. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />NONE <br />REGULAR BUSINESS <br />SOUTH WATER TREATMENT FACILITIES - PRELIMINARY DESIGN REPORT <br />Tom Phare, Director of Public Works explained that over the past several weeks the Public <br />Works Department and Rocky Mountain Consultants (RMC) have been working on the <br />Preliminary Design portion of the South Water Treatment Facilities. The preliminary <br />design portion of the project has identified the technologies, building sites, floor plans, and <br />similar details for the south Water Treatment Facility. Mark Klee of RMC presented a <br />summary of the Predesign Report (Central Files). Mr. Klee focused on the items that vary <br />somewhat from the pre design report which Council reviewed in July. The report has been <br />presented to the Water Committee. The Water Committee recommendation is to proceed <br />with the project as identified in the original project timetable. <br />Approval of the preliminary design and authorization to proceed to the next step of the <br />project requires a number of specific actions. These actions are: <br />1) Authorization for RMC to proceed with final design. <br />2) Direct Finance Committee to retain a consultant to assist with the project financing <br /> and anticipated bond issue. <br />3) Authorization to negotiate with Paragon and Iconics for instrumentation and control <br /> software, and authorization to negotiate with Bristol Babcock and Opto 22 for <br /> instrumentation and control hardware. <br />4) Authorization for staff and RMC to enter into negotiations for desired easements <br /> and/or right-of-way related to the project. <br />Councilman Sackett brought up the concern that Councilman Davidson had expressed <br />about the additional cost for design. Councilman Davidson stated that RMC has since <br />gone to the compact design that other companies had originally proposed, so there is not <br />a significant difference in cost. <br />Mayor Fauson moved that Council approve the four recommendations; authorization for <br />RMC to proceed with final design; direct Finance Committee to retain a consultant to <br />assist with the project and anticipated bond issue; authorization to negotiate with Paragon <br />and Iconics for instrumentation and control software, and authorization to negotiate with <br />Bristol Babcock and Opto 22 for instrumentation and control hardware; and authorization <br />for staff and RMC to enter into negotiations for desired easements and/or right-of-way <br />related to the project, seconded by Carnival. Roll call was taken. Motion passed 6-0. <br /> 2 <br />
