WATER PROJECT UPDATE
Jesse Cowger, P. E. – Varela & Associates, Inc. – Mapping Water System
Jesse Cowger, Project Engineer from Varela & Associates, Inc., presented two options for mapping the Town’s water system, with costs directly correlated to the level of detail of the maps. Cowger explained that due to construction and engineering costs coming in under budget for the water project, $41,954.22 of USDA grant funds are remaining.
Rose Running, USDA Community Specialist, and Dave Dunnell, USDA State Engineer, have approved mapping the Town’s water system as an eligible cost for grant funding.
Utility Superintendent Marty Ramin recommended Council opt for the more detailed mapping package to insure that future utility crew employees would be able to readily locate any component of the Town’s water infrastructure.
Cowger estimated that the more detailed option would cost the Town no more than $14,978.00.
• Snyder moved to approve mapping the Town water system with level of detail as recommended by Ramin for no more than $14,978.00, and for Varela to include an electronic copy of the system via CD’s, with a second from Olin. Unanimous vote.
