Project Updates:
Guilford- Board decided to allow contractor ( Jeff Meinders) to use the water from a neighbor of the treatment plant and DCRSD will pay for the water bill. He will have it set up so they can go either way- cistern or public water eventually with the construction.They are not building a cistern unless they need to- they have to hear from the railroad first about getting water to the site.Dillsboro- Lake Dildear- Christy there are issues with locating of the lines from Dillsboro and a sampler located as lines come in to plant. $9,292 cost of USI who he is hiring to locate the lines per Jeff Meinders. This is a change order to Lake Dildear project for the contractor who is assuming the cost of hiring a locator. Water, sewer, electric, and controls ( internet) is being located. Approved.
Meinders said - at Dillsboro - the plant area was surveyed by a metes and bounds one. Christy and Derek Walker talked about an easement on Dillsboro’s property 25 ft further. There may be about 30 ft of extra pipe needed there. This may help when they locate the utilities there. They will look at this at next meeting again.
Meinders said the cost of the sampler. Thought it was around $7-10,000 per the guy who sold them the previous one. Board will deal with tis when there is an actual change order.
New Business: none
Office Update: Kramer is going to file liens from the list of people who are not paying their bills. Kelly provided the list of people who owe more than $200. She may help with this. Customer pays the attorney’s fee. Approved.
Overly wet spring and tanks are 2 months later than expected. So there will be a change order request for time from Hrezo Engineering. That will come in at the next meeting.
Claims: Only operating claims this month. $2345. Approved.
Discretion of the Board: Steward Cline sent out an RFP as a continuation of work that Stenger started on. They want to vote on this at the next meeting.They will have to advertise this then. They will try to solicit other interested parties to apply as a superintendent.
