7/19/84 Page -7- Schedule adaptable to a 4MGD once they get on line. The schedule was to be August lst and have water by June 1, 1985. He referred to t:he chart that was provided Council and staged they would be working with Louisville Associates on a parallel status with the City. They will bring their project team with the memk~ers of the Engir~ering staff of the City, and a contractor to make this work as a team. It is their plan to have the operators of the utilities work with them on the first de- sign before they present it to the City. To expedite the process they will go through the state review. Mr. Smades stated that they could save about 2 months time through the proposal, bid stages, and the necessary legal- ities that the City would have to go through. There will be 2 teams - the design team and the construction team. They had talked with the contractors or would speak with those who would be agreeable with the City, to meet the schedule. The State reviews would take place during the construction process. He depicted on a wall map the location of the 2MDG site then would increase this to the 4MDG site. Mr. Smades stated this technique was the latest one used all over the world for water treatment. The schedule was to start August lst with the team members and the design program - start the final plant design in September and have it done in December. Construction will begin in December putting in roads and starting some of the concrete work. The cost that they were com- fortable with was presented to Council in their packet. He reiterated that it had to be team work or the schedule would not be :met. That it why they were asking for City staff to have input as far as operation, so the City will have its plans set for opera- tion, manpower increases and scheduling for next summer . In reply to Mayor Meier's question, Mr. Smades stated that they have not done a 2MGD treat- ment plant on a fast track; however stated that they will have a person from Phonenix on their fast track team, who will do the instrumentation controls, and electrical work. He has just finished a 240 MGD treatment plant in ten months at the Union Hills Plant in Phoenix. The only element they have to fear is the weather.
