Public Works Director Prima provided a brief overview of the proposed contracts for White
Slough. Specific topics of discussion included the history of the projects, the proposed
additions of equipment and services associated with the project, consultant
recommendations, bids and contractors, and staff recommendation.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Prima stated, while the contractor is known for
being conservative, he is pleased that the bids came in under the Engineer's Estimate.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Prima stated the project is in response to a
mandate by the State, which came with no funding.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Prima stated this project is a part of the permit
process, which will be good for five years, and receipt is anticipated any day.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Prima stated the project does not address
odor, which might need to be addressed at some time in the future if the State mandates it.
Mr. Prima provided an overview of potential remedies.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Prima stated this is the final phase for the
mandate and is covered by the previously instilled rate increase.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Mr. Prima stated staff is methodically studying options for
land acquisition. City Manager King commented an on unknown lead for land acquisition.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Mr. Prima stated the possibility of doing the project without
another financing is slight because the debt service proceeds remaining are not sufficient;
although, a refinancing of the older Certificates of Participation (COP) may be an option.
Discussion ensued between Council Member Hitchcock and Mr. Prima regarding land
acquisition, state permit measurements, cannery options for land usage, land
contamination, nitrate remedies, and what other cities are doing.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Prima stated the timing of the funds is
largely dependent upon how quickly they are able to mobilize and move, with an anticipated
date of this summer or late fall. City Manager King stated the immediate issue is how to
get effluent to the station. Mr. Prima stated the pipeline is not included in the current
project cost.
Continued April 10, 2007
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Prima stated the cost associated with
Phase 3 is approximately $15 to $20 million.
In response to Council Member Hitchcock, Mr. Prima stated that, while they do not
anticipate significant unforeseen charges, the City may want to make some repairs to the
domestic line.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Deputy City Manager Krueger stated a portion of the
remaining COP is reserved for debt service and, while the County funds will definitely help,
there are some variables.
