see. He said the work done by the Jackson Center is a shorter time frame and is noted to be about three and a half months. Commissioner porosin asked how the contracted work is different from the plans and costs that the task force spent months looking at. Michael Talbert said the original work was done concept wise by OWASA staff and this is the next step, which allows firm pricing. He said there were 8 lines that comprise the area. He said this will lay those out in terms of what is really feasible, and it will include the preliminary engineering. He said this will give a more defined route for the lines and a better cost estimate. Commissioner porosin asked if the drawings that the task force looked at were preliminary engineering drawings. Michael Talbert said these were preliminary drawings, but they were not certified by an engineer. He said these were just a best guess by OWASA staff based on broad based estimates. Commissioner porosin asked if the contract for the outreach will be exclusively for the Jackson Center Michael Talbert said yes. He said this will be paid directly to the Jackson Center, and then the Center will sub-contract with RENA. PUBLIC COMMENT: Robert Campbell said he is a representative of the Rogers Road Neighborhood Association (RENA). He said RENA had been in collaboration with the Jackson Center about the work to be done. He said the goal was to put together a package that could be used by all of the municipalities for any other type of project to be complete in and around the Rogers Road neighborhood. He said surveys have been done in the past, but things have changed, including the layout of the neighborhood. He said the parcel being looked at here, has not changed. He said the data that has been gathered over the past 40 years is scattered; but with the mapping expertise of the Jackson Center is helping to consolidate this in order to move forward with this project. Elizabeth McCain is from the Jackson Center. She thanked the Board for their time and investment in this plan.
