Title
Discussion and action on engineering for water system improvements
Body
SUMMARY:
In order to proceed on the water system improvements, direction needs to be given to the City Manager on engineering for the following projects:
· Catoosa 127N - new water tank
· Holiday Drive waterline replacement
· Highland Lane waterline replacement
· Lantana Estates & Fairyland Acres waterline replacement
· Old Lantana Road waterline replacement
If the projects will be funded through Rural Development or State Revolving Loan Funds, RFQ's will be sent out to engineering firms. In preparing the RFQ's, the project needs to be identified. They can be sent out in two packages---one for the water tank and one for waterline replacements, but the engineering firm will need to know if the waterline projects will be further distributed amongst multiple firms. As pointed out earlier, if the projects are funded through Rural Development or the State Revolving Loan Fund, each engineering will have to prepare a preliminary engineering report and/or facilities plans on their project.
