7 Mashpee Select Board Minutes September 19, 2022 Wastewater ...Consultant Ray Jack: (continued) Update on Status of Wastewater Project _ Phase i V1,1 ge on Proposed Phase 2 - Notice of Protect Change Process: Update on State Revolving Fund (SRF.) / Project Evaluation Form (PEF) Request The solution is the State Revolving Fund (SRF) to include the Project Evaluation Form (PEF) which has been submitted to DEP as a placeholder for consideration to complete all roads in the collection systems contract. It was noted the Project Evaluation Form (PEF) was filed with the state under the SRF program in August as a non -binding placeholder. The request is for $12 million to cover the alternates and roads. Unanticipated costs include a 9% inflation rate and supply chain issues. With an uncertain economy $12 million is requested to cover the alternates currently estimated at $8 million. In January, eligible projects would be identified by the state and Mashpee would be notified of eligibility. It is assumed Mashpee would be selected for additional funding favorably. In proposed Phase II, the Notice of Project Change Process (NOPC) is required as part of the Town's Comprehensive Watershed Nitrogen Management Plan. Phase IT includes; 2A — Mashpee Neck Road/Pirates Cove 2B -- East Main/Santuit Pond Area 2C — West Main/Mashpee Pond Area 2D — Santuit Pond East 2F - Sandlewood The NOPC is required by the MEPA certificate. It reevaluates the existing plan and incorporates the Adaptive Management Approach. This includes shellfish propagation efficacy, the evaluation of sewering, stormwater management, and fertilizer management. The approach revises phasing as necessary. This will provide cost estimates for all Phase II Areas to allow for financial planning, operations and capital. Phase II planning also allows for I/A and Title V approaches. The NOPC is the intent of the proposed Town Meeting article for wastewater. The recommended use of ARPA County Funds for NOPC is $250,000 Proposed contract values include; Contract #1 - $27,905,000 (Base bid, with scrubber and 2 tanks) Contract 42 North - $5,024,198.10 (Base bid only) Contract #3 South - $9,806,731 (Base bid with wet well coating, lift station) Total ARPA funds, County/Federal (local) and Existing Appropriation: $1,676,850 With the additional tanks, capacity through Phase II would be achieved. At this time, the 100 residential homes will be temporarily excluded and may be considered as a change order. Contracts are secure for two years, and with negotiation and potential ARPA and/or SRF funding the residential homes would be added to the scope. The Select Board voiced support to the proposal.
