AWARD OF CONTRACT #98-0476 TO ATLANTIC CONSTRUCTION AND

CREEK PUMP STATION AND APPROVAL OF THE ASSOCIATED BUDGET
AMENDMENT #99-13
County Engineer, Wyatt Blanchard, reported the sewer force main from the Timber Creek
pump station, located in the Middle Sound area, presently discharges into the El Ogden pump station.
Due to rapid growth in the area served by the Timber Creek pump station, the time has come to by-
pass the El Ogden pump station. This action will require construction of 2,730 feet of a 12-inch force
main. The following quotes have been received:
Atlantic Construction and Development, Inc.$ 95,055
Heath Construction$226,500
After review, Staff recommends award of the contract to Atlantic Construction and
Development, Inc.
Motion:
District Commissioner Caster MOVED, SECONDED by District Commissioner Birzenieks
to award the contract and approve the associated budget amendment to Atlantic Construction and
Development, Inc. in the amount of $95,055. The Chairman was authorized to execute the necessary
contract documents. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
A copy of the contract is on file in the Legal Department.

WAIVER OF THE WATER DEVELOPMENT FEE FOR WOODS MOBILE HOME PARK
LOCATED AT 6612 GORDON ROAD
County Engineer, Wyatt Blanchard, advised that Mr. Wood, owner of Woods Mobile Home
Park located at 6612 Gordon Road, was requesting to connect to the Murrayville water system
without being required to pay the water development fee. When Mr. Wood decided to develop the
13-lot mobile home park, he contacted the Engineering Department on August 23, 1996, which was
prior to the water development fee being enacted. Since that time, Mr. Wood has experienced several
delays, including Hurricane Bertha. The development fee is $720 per lot for a total of $9,360 for the
mobile home park.
Since Mr. Wood contacted the District before enactment of the fee and Highland Pines Mobile
Home was allowed to connect to the system approximately a year ago without paying a fee, Staff
feels the District Board may want to consider waiving the fee.
Motion:
District Commissioner Birzenieks MOVED, SECONDED by Vice-Chairman Howell to
waive the water development fee in the amount of $9,360 for the Woods Mobile Home Park located
at 6612 Gordon Road. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion:
Vice-Chairman Howell MOVED, SECONDED by District Commissioner Birzenieks to
adjourn. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Chairman Greer adjourned the meeting at 11:20 a.m.
