Genesee County Drain Commission - KWA

See all emails with these participants
On December 13", 1 received-a phone call from John O’Malia, who will be coordinating the efforts between Wade Trim and AE COM for the Genesee County Drain Commission (a.k.a. KWA). The latter firm will be charged with developing the design criteria for the entire project and the preliminary transmission line route selection and the easement surveys. Wade Trim is involved with the intake construction project.’ The initial design criteria should be available in January or February of 2013. The present intent is to break the project down into several pieces for the actual design, such as having separate design projects for the low lift pump station, transmission line, reservoir, SCADA system(s) and treatment plant. The request for bids for the design work for each portion of the project may be advertised next month. There may be several consulting firms participating in the overall design. Genesee County will request to meet with ODWMA staff to discuss the design criteria early next year. The city of Flint has provisionally accepted the offer to join the KWA. The city’s approval is subject to the subsequent approval by the Department of Treasury. The state’s approval (or possible hearings leading to the approval) is expected in January. There may be some opposition by DWSD about Flint participating in the project. . Genesee County has approved the sale of $30 Million of bonds. The county is expecting to obtain a 3% APR for the bonds. . : ‘ Jon B xxxEND_PAGE:deq27_b318_1485_1485_1
