If approved by City Council, the City will cost participate in this construction project only to the extent of the City’s proportionate share of the oversized gravity wastewater main, lift station, and force main. The proposed oversized improvements include construction of: • • • a 1,075 gallons per minute (gpm) lift station located at an appropriate low point within the boundaries of the Property, approximately 3,100 feet of force main from the proposed lift station northwest through the Property and then southwest across an unnamed tributary of Gilleland Creek to the existing 8-inch force main located outside the Coomer Path Lift Station site, and approximately 3,000 feet of 18-inch gravity wastewater main from the proposed lift station northwest through the Property and then southwest across an unnamed tributary of Gilleland Creek to the existing 15-inch gravity wastewater main located outside the existing Coomer Path Lift Station site. The City will reimburse the Owner for an overall total amount not to exceed $5,720,080 for hard costs and soft costs. Hard costs include, but are not limited to, construction and materials.
