2009 FEASIBILITY STUDY CONTINUATION –
HENDERSON COUNTY SOLID WASTE
County
Engineer Marcus Jones stated as directed by the Board during the September 8,
2009 meeting, staff has negotiated an amendment to the engineer agreement with
William G. Lapsley & Associates to perform the FY09 Drainage Basin
Study. The amendment is to add an
evaluation of the District’s treatment alternatives.
A
proposed amendment document was distributed during the meeting and is attached
hereto and incorporated as part of the minutes.
Marcus
Jones reviewed six (6) options on the first page of the study and noted that
additional alternatives may be identified in the process of performing the
study. The fee schedule proposed ranges
from $85,000 to $100,000. During
meetings in the next couple of weeks with potential alternatives; the City of
Hendersonville and the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), they feel the scope
focus can be brought down to one number.
Information is due from MSD on projections for the upgrade of the
interceptor between our system and their system, and the options with the City
of Hendersonville may be restricted by the capacity of Mill Creek. Support from the Board would obviously
provide some leverage for staff when talking with other entities to finalize
the scope.
Commissioner
McGrady stated with respect to paragraph three (3) of the study, he would like
to expand the scope slightly to read that other options are available relating
to property that we currently own that can only be used for sewer.
3.)
Construction of a new treatment facility in north Henderson County or
utilization of the Bent Creek property in South Buncombe County.
Marcus
Jones stated this would be paid out of the Enterprise Fund which would be
brought before the Board of Commissioners as a budget amendment.
Staff
requests that the Board authorize the County Engineer to execute the proposed
amendment to the agreement with William G. Lapsley to conduct the Drainage
Basin Study.
Commissioner McGrady made the motion
that the Board authorizes the County Engineer to execute the proposed amendment
to the agreement with William G. Lapsley to conduct the Drainage Basin Study
per the scope of services as slightly amended in paragraph three *(3). All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Chairman
Moyer requested that Commissioner Messer, Marcus Jones and Will Buie brief the
advisory board and review the scope in order for them to understand what is
happening.
