2. Resolution 4688 - Wastewater Treatment Plant Planning GrantCity of Kalispell Public Works Department Post Office Box 1997, Kalispell, Montana 59903-1997 - Telephone (406)758-7720, Fax (406)758-7831 REPORT TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Tim Hansz, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: CDBG Planning Grant for Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion MEETING DATE: April 1, 2002 BACKGROUND: The City's advanced wastewater treatment plant will soon undergo a comprehensive engineering analysis from which will be developed a preliminary engineering report (PER) recommending the size and type of facilities necessary to expand capacity. This will be done as an addendum to the current facility planning contract. The scope of this work has been developed and it is clear that the work required will exceed our original cost expectations for the PER The total cost of the work is now estimated at $127,875.63. The Public Works Department previously applied for and was notified that it had received a $10,000.00 DNRC Resource Planning Grant to partially fund this work. When it became apparent that costs would be greater than anticipated we sought additional grant funding sources to defray these expenses. The City's Community Development Department has prepared for us a CDGB planning grant application in the amount of $20,000.00. We are confident our application will be accepted. This additional grant funding will fully cover the additional cost of work for the PER. RECOMMENDATION: Public Works recommends approval of Resolution 4690.
