FY 2002-03 Regional Wastewater Program Budget

New Search

Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission. Capital Improvement Program alternatives. This budget is intended to fund administration, design and construction of an expanded and remodeled laboratory. On February 7, 2002, the Commission executed a contract with CH2M HILL for the lab expansion design and technical services during the construction phase. The FY O1-02 capital improvement program budget has $1,200,000 allocated for this project (administration, design and construction). Design is anticipated to be complete by the end of FY O1-02 for an estimated cost of $150,000. Remaining funds will be carried over to FY 02-03. Construction is expected to begin early in the fiscal year and is expected to take about nine months to complete. Wet Weather Flow Management Plan (WWFMP) -Flow Monitoring FY 02-03 Capital Budget = $190,000 The WWFMP was initiated in the FY 97-98 CIP in response to Master Plan findings and recommendations concerning the ability of the WPCF to handle peak wet weather flows. The goal of the WWFMP was to determine the most cost-effective, feasible peak flow management options to address regulatory and community concern"s. MWMC approved the WWFMP in February 2001. In FY 00-01, the Commission approved an additional appropriation of $650,000 - $400,000 to be used for the installation of two flow monitors for each major interceptor, technical assistance to determine the best flow monitoring technology, and $250,000 for the upgrade of the Glenwood pump station. MWMC executed a $254,360 contract in October, 2001 for. flow monitoring equipment and services. This contract will provide MWMC with three years of service to maintain and operate the equipment. Flow data will be collected at three monitoring sites along the East Bank Interceptor and three sites along the West Bank Interceptor. The data collected will enable staff to evaluate the performance of the collection system improvements, and make refinements to the regional hydraulic model used to simulate the collection system. FY 01-02 expenditures are expected to be $210,000. The remainder of the funds will be carved over to FY 02-03. In 2005, Eugene/Springfield staffwill need to begin providing maintenance and operation services for this regionally purchased equipment. The Glenwood pump station upgrade is tentatively scheduled to be rebudgeted in FY OS-06. This project is being deferred for several years to enable further reconnaisance of the source of excessive flows in the Glenwood drainage basin. Plant Performance Improvements - Predesign Study (Formerly Peak Wet Weather Flow Improvements) FY 02-03 Capital Budget = $900,000 The WWFMP identifies a 10-year program of specific capital improvements needed at the WPCF to address peak wet weather flow conditions. These include upgrading the primary treatment capacity to 263 mgd, upgrading the secondary treatment capacity to 130 mgd, and expansion of outfall diffuser capacity. The total cost of these improvements is estimated by CH2M HILL to be $33 million. In FY 99-00, $607,500 was budgeted for preliminary design/engineering study improvements. Additional funding, in the amount of $1,392,500, was approved in FY 01-02 bringing the total to $2,000,000 budgeted. This funding was to cover a predesign study that would consider the appropriate sequencing of improvements and determine whether other plant performance improvements could be cost effectively included. In addition to the predesign, funds were included for the design of the Secondary Clarifier and Outfall Diffuser Page 2E FY 02-03 BITDGET ' '.
