Old Business –
PPSSD – Colin Marcusan with SEH Engineering firm called in on a TEAM conference call. He explained the new contract that SEH is proposing to the township for new facilities plan for the new sewer district. A facilities plan is a document that MPCA and MN Public Facilities Authority use as a starting point to get us into their funding cycle. To qualify for the funds that they offer we need to complete the facility plan and get it approved. A facility plan is a feasibility study which reviews all of the options and possible alternatives and recommends an alternative that would be affordable. This contract is for the facility plan and part of the design as well. The contract is for $250,000 but according to Colin it will not cost that much to do the facility plan so since there are grant dollars to work with Colin thought that the extra funds could spill over toward the design phase. In this facility plan SEH would do some surveying by a drone surveying company. From this they can get what they need for the maps, laying out a collection system, considering possible treatment alternatives and they can also get geotechnical data. Colin answered question from the supervisors. Supervisor J. Stegmeir asked for some changes to the language of the contract. Once the changes have all been made, Colin will get the contract back to the Township for approval. The board agreed that Supervisor J. Stegmeir would be the person of authority to sign the contract.
