3. Reduces the distance of pumping to Hillsborough since the BRLS is closer and <br /> eventually can be the one lift station instead of two (major reduction in maintenance <br /> and operating costs) that changes pumping direction to another treatment system. <br /> 4. Removes the old MCLS function which is close to McGowan Creek. <br /> There are two funding sources for this project- $3.5 million from the State Revolving Loan <br /> Fund and a grant of $1,348,400 from an EPA SPAP Grant. The State agrees monies from the <br /> SRF loan can be used to expend on this alternate which enhances the existing and proposed <br /> systems. Projected monies from EPA and SRF sources can accommodate the original and <br /> alternate design because of lower construction bids. The difference between the bid and the <br /> budget is reserved for this alternate project. This alternate design still needs to be engineered, <br /> permitted and bid and, if at all possible from a timing standpoint, coordinated into the proposed <br /> project. <br /> The design for this work will begin as soon as a design and construction administrator is <br /> chosen. A separate bid for construction will be necessary at a later date. Whether design and <br /> permitting can `catch up' to the present work is not yet known. In any event, this proposed <br /> design enhancement will provide a system that can be more efficiently operated. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact from approving the Resolution of Award. <br /> The contract with J.F. Wilkerson Contracting Company is for $2,942,954.46 and has been <br /> accounted for in the County's CIP and is within budgeted amounts. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br /> A.
