t10 TUESDAY DECEMBER 9, 1980 development of a proposed overall financing plan, Mr. Garland L. Page, Jr., P.E., Senior Vice President of Wiley & Wilson, informed Council that the City has no choice but to proceed with the construction of improvements to the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant, as set forth in the proposal, if the City is to overcome the offensive odor problem at this plant and is to provide capacity to treat the increasing flow into the plant. We are pleased to submit our revised proposal for the improvement of the City of Martinsville Wastewater Pollution Control Facility. The first proposal, Project A, is for the design, bidding and construction administration of interim improvements which will extend the treatment plant's capacity and help eliminate odor problems as further defined in the Agreement, Exhibit A. The second proposal, Project B, is for the expansion study to be used as a design base for the overall expansion of the wastewater facility to 12 million gallons per day and further defined in the Agreement, Exhibit A. Execution of the agreement authorizes us to proceed with these two projects. The agreement proposes a cost, plus a fixed-fee type of compensation. This is an EPA-approved method of compensation and would be readily adaptable in the event federal funds are secured. The total fee for Project A, including construction administration, but excluding the sludge disposal plan, is estimated, but not guaranteed, to be $88,000. The total fee for budgetary purposes for the sludge disposal plan is estimated, but not guaranteed, to be $33,000; of which $15,000 is for the services of outside consultants (Geotechnical Consultant and Sludge Testing Laboratory Services), which will be required for disposal site evaluation. . The total fee for Project B Study Phase is estimated, but not guaranteed, to be $26,400. Our fees are based on completing these services within the next 12 months. You and the Public Service Authority have requested that we provide cost estimates for the design and construction of these improvements for the purpose of fiscal planning. The following represent "order of magnitude" estimates for these improvements as of December 1, 1980. Applicable costs should be increased at the rate of l% per month to time of contract.
