The City will contract for <br />the constructi on of the GAC Pl ant and will operate it. The Army <br />will pay for the construction and the operation of the plant until <br />the aquifer is cleaned to Federal drinking water standards. <br /> <br />The GAC Plant will be located at the City reservoir site at 3001-- <br />5th St NW.. and will treat water from old City Wells #3. 4, 5. and <br />6. Operation of the GAC plant will accomplish some clean-up of the <br />aquifer and also increase the City1s water production capabilities. <br />The settlement agreement requires the City use the GAC Plant for at <br />least 80% of our annual water needs. <br /> <br />The total estimated construction cost for the plant is $3.900,000. <br />The City would be responsible for an estimated $24.000 of this total <br />for chemical feed equipment. The Army will place funds for the <br />balance of the construction cost in an account which the City can <br />draw from as construction payments come due. <br /> <br />Bids will be opened for this facility on March 28. 1989. The bids <br />will be presented to the Council for consideration at the April 11. <br />1989. Council meeting. The specification requires that the plant <br />be operational by April 1. 1990. and final completion by September <br />1. 1990. <br /> <br />The City has received final approval of the plans and specifications <br />from the Corp of Engineers. <br /> <br />Benke verified that the Army would be required to have a building <br />permit during the construction. <br /> <br />Benke asked if installation of additional piping would be needed on <br />Silver Lake Road with the pumping of additional water. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Presentation by Army <br />National Guard for <br />Installation of Armor} <br />Fac il ity <br />Report 89-35 <br /> <br />Approval of Plans and <br />Specs for Permanent <br />GAC Facility <br />Report 89-36 <br />
