<br />Sandra Tripp gave her monthly sewer construction update. She stated that she is going to give <br />an update on Phase 1, Phase 1-A and Phase 2 (which is currently under design). <br /> <br />Ms. Tripp said the update pertaining to the plant is more of the same as last month. They are <br />starting to work on the exterior of the buildings. Putting in door stoops, hooking up blower air <br />pipes in the process building. Nothing has been powered up yet as they are still waiting for the <br />MCCs to be delivered. More equipment is arriving and being installed. <br />Everything has been installed and hooked up in the preliminary treatment building. The odor <br />control system has been delivered to the site. <br /> <br />Sandra stated the springtime work has started at the collection systems, with paving and <br />installation of laterals on Orchard Road as well as miscellaneous pipe work. <br /> <br />It was reported that a change order was done to include odor control systems at the pump <br />stations. <br /> <br />Due to a technical problem, Sandra wasn’t able to get her computer to connect making it <br />difficult to report and provide a visual on cash flow and time spent. She stated that there are <br />215 days left on the contract for the treatment plant and the contractor hasn’t requested an <br />extension yet. It was noted that it will probably go out through July due to the supply chain <br />issues. There has been 73% time spent on that contract and 66% spent. <br /> <br />Spending is flattening out on the collection system contracts. <br /> <br />Sandra reported that last month they had open bids on Phase 1A, the Alternate Re-Bid Project. <br />She stated that the bids were very good. Their estimate is $5.2 million and the range in bids <br />came in at $4.7 million to $6 million. They have since received Authorization to Award from the <br />DEP and the Town has awarded the contract to Dig It Construction LLC out of South Dennis, <br />MA. The contractor is getting their Certificates of Insurance and Bonds pulled together then <br />the contract will be executed, presented to the Commission and then to the Town Manager for <br />his signature. Construction should start sometime in June and the duration is expected to be 19 <br />months. <br /> <br />Sandra stated that there are 30 properties in Phase 1 being served by low gravity systems and <br />that GHD and Jared Meader have been working on the procurement of the grinder pumps for <br />the systems. Bids for procurement of the equipment should hit the street within the next <br />couple of months. <br /> <br />It was reported that boring contractors with drill rigs and surveyors are out working on Phase 2 <br />of the project, which is currently under design. They are expected to be working through the <br />end of June. <br /> <br />The design for the upgrade to the treatment plant is progressing. This upgrade is to make it <br />possible to open another train and will also include 4 addition sand beds. <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
