Sewer Construction Update – GHD. <br />Sandra Tripp gave a presentation on Phase 1 and Phase 2 from mid-March to mid-April <br />reporting that a lot of working is going on at the plant. Eversource has delivered a transformer. <br />It’s in place and now needs to be connected by Eversource. <br />A ductbank with many conduits is currently being placed at the process building. UV equipment <br />has been installed. Air piping is getting installed throughout the plant. Finish work is taking <br />place in the office area. <br />Sandy reported that not much work is happening on the exterior of the preliminary treatment <br />building aside from stairs being installed. <br />Air piping has been installed in the process tanks. Sandy stated that the tanks have been <br />backfilled completely. <br />Two of the sand beds are complete. Sandy said that some unsuitable material was found in the <br />third sand bed and work has stopped on it for now until it is removed. <br />No major work was done at the Collection System North during the last month. Sea Oaks is on <br />hold for now. Paving will take place on High Sachem and Ashers Path during the spring. <br />It was reported that they have been doing pressure testing on Quinaquisett Avenue and <br />Orchard Road. Temporary pavement has been put down. They will be doing the gravity sewer <br />inverts. Sewer inverts are bricking up the bottom of the manholes to create a flow channel. <br />They will be cleaning up the sewers during April and May by running water through them to be <br />sure they are free of debris, etc. <br />Sandy said that they have done a lot of work on the interiors of the Falmouth Road Mashpee <br />Neck Road pump stations. HVAC and electrical is completed. <br />Sandy reported that the cash flow at the WRRF plant is a little bit behind planned spending. <br />They have spent 69% of the time of the original contract and have earned 58.6% of their <br />funding. <br />There has been no work on the collection system north contract, cash flow has flattened out. <br />Sandy stated that this contract will probably come in under budget. <br />Sandy said she did not receive a pay requisition on the collection system south contract this <br />month. According to last month’s report they are well ahead of planned spending. <br />th <br />It was reported that bids were opened and received on April 9 on the alternate rebid of Phase <br />1A. Six bids were received. Sandy said that GHD’s estimate was $5.2 million, the lowest bid <br />was $4.7 million and the bid range is from $4.7 to $6.0 million. The next step in the process is <br />to request authorization to award from the DEP. Construction is expected to start mid to late <br />May. Construction is expected to last for 19 months. <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
