SCHEDULE ASSESSMENT HEARING - RESOLUTION #4122 <br />Gappa reported that Shank Constructors was the lowest bidder at $636,600, which is slightly over <br />the feasibility report of $616,600. With two- thirds of the project cost being funded through water <br />rates, the larger commercial users will be paying more through the water rates. Staff is <br />recommending one -third of the project be funded through special assessments in the amount of $350 <br />per unit. Single family homes would have one unit. Commercial properties could have more than <br />one unit. Gappa suggested that commercial users be assessed according to their sewer use, with a <br />cap of 5 units. <br />0 <br />Mayor Jabbour questioned why the bids would be higher than the feasibility study quote. Engineer <br />Tom Kellogg replied that items amounting to $100,000 were added to the project beyond what was <br />originally in the feasibility report. <br />Mayor Jabbour felt the community needed to be aware of the benefit of the new water treatment • <br />system, and that there would not be a need for private water softeners, which would be a savings for <br />them. <br />Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution #4121 declaring the cost to be assessed <br />and ordering preparation of proposed assessment for Navarre Water Treatment Plant <br />rehabilitation, and with the proposed assessment cost to include a maximum commercial <br />assessment of 5 units.
