Description of Project:
Design, permit, construct and place into operation two new drinking water wells (525 gal./min. pump capability). Functions include a pump building and treatment capability requiring PSE to provide a 3-phase power line. State of Washington Permit approved 1/20/21. Design/specifications complete, bid process in progress. Awaiting final County permit.
Background:
This project began in 2014 after the permanent closure of Well 4 due to E-Coli contamination. The goals and objectives for a replacement Well evolved for several years. The 2019 Board of Directors initiated actions to finalize the scope, obtain required permitting, finalize design, and construct the project.
Basis of Project and Value to membership:
Project completion eliminates a significant community risk of a single point of failure in both drinking and fire water supply. New increased flow rate also achieves long-term community water goals that ensure safe and clean adequate water capability at full build out within the CCA community.
Preliminary Cost/Schedule:
The total estimated direct construction cost is currently estimated at $698,625 which includes the cost of Project/Construction Management. PSE is behind schedule (45-days) in delivering their construction estimate. Decision on soliciting bids will happen on August 13th. Construction schedule will be provided by the winning contractor.
