16 <br /> 1 engineering design, administrative and contingency for possible rock. The topography of the <br /> 2 neighborhood is complex and the land falls in several different directions. This concept plan <br /> 3 does not include the costs of any property acquisitions or easement acquisitions. The <br /> 4 availability hookup charge for each of the parcels is based on an assumed average house size <br /> 5 of 2,500 square feet. When a customer connects to the OWASA water and sewer system, <br /> 6 there is a one-time fee that is estimated to be $4,300 for the concept plan. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Cost estimate Summarv: <br /> En ineerin , Desi n and Permittin 376,350 <br /> Construction Cost 3,763,506 <br /> Construction Administration 188,175 <br /> Construction Inspection 188,175 <br /> 20% Contingency 903,241 <br /> Sub Total 5,419,447 <br /> Service Availabilit Fees 368,768 <br /> Total 5,788,215 <br /> 9 <br /> 10 <br /> 11 The concept does not include the cost to actually connect individual homes to the sewer <br /> 12 system. Those costs will vary on the configuration of the lot and the distance from the house to <br /> 13 the main sewer line. Those costs are typically the costs of the homeowner and are estimated to <br /> 14 be about $20/foot. The connections to an individual house would be provided by a private <br /> 15 plumbing contractor. <br /> 16 The next step to move the concept plan forward would be to begin the preliminary engineering <br /> 17 and design work. Engineers would be hired to take this concept, go out in the field and start the <br /> 18 process of data collection and defining the details of the concept. OWASA has estimated the <br /> 19 preliminary engineering costs would be $376,350. That is a rough estimate based on what is <br /> 20 known of the area so far. A completed preliminary engineering and design will be necessary to <br /> 21 complete a Community Development Block Grant application. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Sewer Recommendations: <br /> 24 <br /> 25 The Task Force has discussed all or part of the proposed $5.8 million dollar sewer concept <br /> 26 plan, but has not yet recommended moving forward with this concept plan, pending an <br /> 27 agreement on a cost sharing plan for sewer improvements. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Grant Opportunities for Sewer Infrastructure: <br /> 31 <br /> 32 The Task Force explored several grant opportunities to fund the sewer improvement for the <br /> 33 Rogers Road Neighborhood. The Task Force was furnished a list of possible grant <br /> 34 opportunities from RENA including the following: <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Community Development Block Grants <br /> 37 Department of Health and Human Services <br /> 38 Department of Housing and Urban Development <br /> 39 Environmental Protection Agency <br />
