Introduction The Waltek Corporation is currently undergoing an expansion of their existing facility, which wilt necessitate the extension of municipal sanitary sewer and watermain. At the present time, sanitary sewer is available on the west side of C.R. #57 a distance of 1,150 feet south of the Waltek project. Water service is available from an existing 12-inch watermain located a distance of 1,300 feet south of the Waltek project. Should the watermain be extended to the Waltek project, it would be highly desirable to extend the main an additional 1,000 feet northward to Sunwood Drive, thereby completing a 12-inch trunk main loop. This will provide enhanced fire flows and system reliability to the Sunfish Lake businesses by furnishing them with back-up water supply. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and associated costs for this project and propose a method of financing such. Description of Improvements The improvements would consist of extending the existing sanitary sewer, .which is located on the west side of C.R. #57 at the intersection with 142nd Lane, northward a distance of 1,150 feet to the westward extension of 144th Avenue. The sanitary sewer will be extended westward a distance of 206 feet within the right-of-way obtained from Waltek for the future westward extension of 144th Avenue. Watermain would be extended along the west fight-of-way of C.R. #57 from its present terminus point located 800 feet north of C.R. #116 to the westward extension of Sunwood Drive a distance of 2,300 feet. The watermain will be placed in a casing jacked across C.R. #56 connecting to the existing 12-inch main located on the southeast coruer of that intersection. All work will be performed within the county highway fight-of-way, however, temporary easements may be required to facilitate construction. Traffic control will need to be placed along C.R. #57 during construction, and turf restoration will be required as a part of the project. Six-inch services for water service and six-inch sanitary sewer lateral shall be stubbed for each of the existing properties serviced by the utility extension. Estimated Project Costs Appendix A contains a detail of the construction costs, which are estimated to be $111,680. In addition to construction costs, project overhead of 30% is estimated and detailed below: Engineering 10% Staking and Inspection 7% Fiscal and Legal 3% Administration 5% Contingencies 5% There are no anticipated right-of-way costs for the project. Therefore, the total project cost is anticipated to be $145,184.
