APPROVAL OF SEWER PARTICIPATION REQUEST FROM WOODLAKE AT LORDS CREEK
SUBDIVISION AND ASSOCIATED BUDGET AMENDMENT
County Engineer Greg Thompson reported that the developers of W oodlake at Lords Creek subdivision
designed the pump station, gravity sewer and force main large enough to accommodate existing off-site flow in the
basin and flow from their proposed subdivision of 246 lots. The developers are requesting District participation in
the difference in the cost to upsize these facilities to accommodate future flow. Once the proposed pump station is
complete the Lords Creek Pump Station #2 will be taken off-line and accommodate flow from the Lambs Bluff
pump station in the future when the District constructs additional gravity sewer to existing homes in the area.
The developers obtained three bids for construction of the system. The lowest bid was East Coast
Contracting in the amount of $2,519,421 with the District's portion of $288,937 to cover the cost of up sizing an 8-
inch gravity sewer to a 12-inch gravity sewer and the cost of constructing a lO-inch force main through the
development and 41 % of eligible pump station costs proportionate to future flow.
Staff requests that District Board approve participation in the Woodlake sewer project and the associated
budget amendment #07-058 in the amount of $288,937.
