Cuuncii does nut have to receive any citizen inputs however, you may invite anyone to speak. Because it is a public meeting, an agenda has to be established and discussion limited to the posted agenda items, As our time is limited, the tentative agenda is planned around capital projects as outlined in the letter ,you received from our consulting engineers at. the last meeting; improvements to streets, water and wastewater system.

FAGIN, P.E. J. TRAVIS ROBERTS, JR., P,E, PAUL S. BOEDEKER, P.E. SAM C. MCKENZIE, JR,, P,E. DAVID J. PREWETT, P.E. CHARLES W. SCHELER, P.E, RICHARD K. ST, JOHN, P.E. THOMAS W. STANG, P.E. CHARLES A. DAVIS, P.E. As requested, we have conducted a review of, various items as discussed in our last meeting. Our comments are as follows: 1. Status Report of 12" Water Line Crossing I.H. 35 The topographic survey has been completed and a preliminary design has been prepared and reviewed by the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation (TDHPT). A final design should be completed and submitted to the TDHPT and the Health Department by the end of this month. After the project is reviewed and approved by both agencies, an advertisement for bid should be published. The approximate bid date is March 8, 19900 2. Street Projects Due to I.H. 35 One -Way Access Road A. Acker Street Extension from Elm Street to Bolivar Street Our research of the plat records indicate that the Acker Street right-of-way extends approximately 150 south of Elm Street. This is approximately half the distance to Bolivar Street. A review of the utility maps indicate that both water and sanitary sewer lines extend all the way from Elm Street to Bolivar Street. The presence of existing utilities may indicate that utility easements have already been obtained from the land owner. We understand that a pedestrian bridge is planned in the immediate area. Until we can review the construction plans and easements we cannot asses the impact of the bridge in relation to the Acker Street extension. Acker Street should be extended to Bolivar Street to � facilitate traffic movement once the I.H. 35 access roads become one-way. An easement will be required from the property owner prior to any further action. Mr. John Hamilton January 5, 1989 Page Two The cost to extend a 20 foot wide, 2 inch thick asphalt road with a 6 inch lime treated subgrade would be approximately $30-$40 per linear foot. B. Gateway Addition Our research of the plat records indicate that the Freese Drive right-of-way extends from Austin Street to Spur 138. The right-of-way appears to be 50 feet wide except for a portion along Gateway Addition, Section One which appears to be 25 feet wide. In order to extend Freese Drive southerly to Spur 138, a 25 foot easement would be required from 7 lots in Gateway Addition, Section One to provide a minimum 50 foot right- of-way. Access to Freese Drive could be accomplished by extending David Drive southerly approximately 120 feet, thence easterly approximately 150 feet to Freese Drive. The extension of David Drive should be in accordance with the Future Land Use and Thoroughfare Plans.. An easement would also be required from the property owner south of Gateway Addition prior to further action. r-� - The cost to extend David Drive as a 27 foot wide, 2 inch thick asphalt road with 24 inch concrete curb and gutter and a 6 inch lime treated subgrade would be approximately $60-$70 per linear foot. We are prepared to assist the City in the preparation of easement documents, construction plans, specifications, if council decides to proceed with these projects. 3. Status Report on Willowood Addition We have reviewed the construction plans as submitted by Michael Cummings and will return them to his office with our comments and revisions. Mr. Cummings indicated the owner is ready to begin construction immediately after the final plat is approved by the City. They plan to construct Willowood in several phases. The City should contact the owner to verify the various phases and request a construction schedule for each phase. 4. ;rant Sources for Water Distribution Improvements for Industrial Park Loop We discussed a looped water line from the vicinity of Spur 138 and old Highway 77 southerly to the industrial park, thence easterly to the railroad, thence northerly to Wayne Drive. 00 Mr. John Hamilton January 5, 1989 �;- Page Three To our knowledge, the only grant funds available are through the Texas Capital Fund Program which are contingent upon new business and new jobs created within a community. Low interest loans are available through the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for treatment, transmission and storage (not distribution). The Texas Capital Fund Program provides both low interest loans and grants. The same criteria is used in evaluating grants and loans except for grants the business must provide at least twenty (20) new Sobs and must commit to a 2 or 3-1 match of grant funds. A maximum of $500, 000 is available for a business that can provide up to 250 new jobs. If more than 250 Sobs are provided, a maximum of $2000 per job is available. The funds are normally financed for five to ten years. The business must also demonstrate that they cannot get funding from any other sources and they must provide a written commitment to the City. The Program also recommends that a municipality hire a grant consultant (i.e. G.S.A.) to perform the tedious and complicated application process. 5. Existinct Ground Storage Capacity As stated in the water system analysis report we prepared for the City in a letter dated May 11, 1989, I requires an additional ground storage capacity of 146,000 gallons based upon a current population of 4200. At that time we also recommend the City construct a minimum 300,000 gallon storage tank. A more long term solution would be to construct a 500,000 gallon storage tank to provide sufficient capacity to approximately the year 2000. 6. Water Quality You mentioned some citizen concern about the possible increase in the mineral content of the City's drinking water. The City obtains its water supply from wells drawing from Trinity Sands. This formation characteristically produces water high in mineral content. Also, the wastewater department has indicated that the Ph appears to be increasing at the treatment plant. Arising Ph could indicate a higher sodium and chloride content at the plant. This could be coming from the City wells or from a sewer service dumping excessive sodium and/or chlorides. Mr. John Hamilton January 5, 1989 Page Four The drinking water system should have a chemical analysis performed each year according to the Texas Health Department. The City should review these records to determine if an increase in mineral content and Ph has occurred. The City should also review the records before and after the Acker Street well was put in service to determine its effect on the mineral and Ph content. The only way to reduce the mineral content of the well water is to construct treatment facilities to reduce unwanted minerals prior to distribution into the system. This would be far too costly for the City, especially considering the plan to obtain surface water from the Upper Trinity Municipal Water Authority (UTMWA). ?. Existing Well Capacity As stated in the water system analysis report previously mentioned, to meet the State Board of Insurance regulations the City requires an additional well capacity of 476 gallons per minute (gpm) based upon a population of 4200. The UTMWA water supply is scheduled to be available to Sanger by the Summer of 1993. If the City does not construct a new well, the existing wells will have to suffice for three more years. With the increased population to occur from Willowood Addition and other areas and considering the strains put on the water system in the summer months, the City can ensure ample water supplies until 1993 by constructing a well, pump station and ground storage tank. Without these improvements or with constructing only a new ground storage tank, we can only speculate as to the ability of the system to provide ample water through 1993. 8. Water Purchase from UTMWA Our calculations from the water system analysis previously mentioned indicate an estimated peak water demand of approximately 1.4 million gallons per day (MGD) in the year 1995. With all pumps operating, the City can provide 669,600 gallons per day (GPD). An additional 1.0 MGD purchase from UTMWA added to the existing pumping capacity would supply approximately 1.7 MGD to the City of Sanger. Based upon our population projections, an additional 1.0 MGD purchase of water added to the existing pumping capacity should provide enough water to last until 1997 when the City will be able to purchase additional water from UTMWA. Mr. John Hamilton January 5, 1989 Page Five 9. Proposed Improvements and Cost Estimates The City has already committed funds on two projects. The estimated construction cost for the I.H. 35 12 inch water line is $24,000.00 and the estimated construction cost for the offsite sanitary sewer line and sewer oversize for the Willowood Addition is $94,000.00 Several options are available to the City in order to increase their water supply and storage in relation to the UTMWA water Implementation Plan. OPTION 1 The UTMWA will require an air gap at the point of delivery to the Sanger system. This is normally obtained with a ground storage tank. A 500,000 gallon ground storage tank should be located on the east side of town near the proposed pipeline from the Denton water treatment plant. A 350 gpm well and 500 gpm pump station should also be constructed at the ground storage tank site. This should provide for immediate and future water demands. The well could supply the additional water required until the UTMWA water supply is available in 1993 and then act as an emergency supply or provide relief during future peak demands on the system. The 500 gpm pump station would be sized for the future connection from UTMWA. A 12 inch water line will also be required to connect the well and ground storage tank to the existing water system. The estimated construction costs are as follows: Description Cost well (350 gpm) $175,000 Ground Storage (500 K Gal) 140,000 Pump Station (500 gpm) 40,000 12 Inch Water Line 140,000 $495,000 OPTION 2 This option is the same as Option 1 except a smaller ground storage tank and pump station is utilized. This will only provide sufficient ground storage until approximately 1995 and the pumps should be enlarged when the UTMWA water supply is connected. The estimated construction costs are as follows: Mr. John Hamilton January 5, 1989 Page Six Description Well (350 gpm) Ground Storage (300 K Gal) Pump Station (300 gpm) 12 Inch Water Line OPTION 3 Cost $175,000 103,000 25,000 140,000 $443,000 A short term solution would be to construct a 300,000 gallon ground storage tank and 300 gpm pump station at the Acker Street elevated storage tank. This would also require a 12 inch water line to be constructed from the site to the proposed I.H. 35 12 inch water line and thence easterly to connect into the existing system. An additional ground storage tank and pump station will be required at the future UTMWA water supply location in 1993. 1 The estimated construction costs at the Acker Street site are as follows. ��' Description Cost Ground Storage (300 K Gal) $103,000 Pump Station (300 gpm) 25,000 12 Inch Water Line 62,000 $190,000 OPTION 4 Another short term solution that is not desireable but could be a possible alternative would be to construct a 200,000 gallon ground storage tank at the existing Cherry Street ground storage and well site. This could be connected to the existing pump station and wells. This option would require increased maintenance costs due to the age of the existing equipment it would be connected to. An additional ground storage tank and pump station will be required at the future UTMWA water supply location in 1993. The estimated construction costs at the Cherry Street site are as follows: Mr. John Hamilton January 5, 1989 Page Seven Description Ground Storage (200,000 K Gal) Connect to System 10. Cost Summary and Funding Cost $80,000 5,000 $851000 We understand the City currently has $200,000 available for utility improvements. These funds should be combined with additional funds gained through issuing a certificate of obligation (C.O.). The additional funds required will depend on which option the City will choose. Each option is totalled,as follows: OPTION 1 Description Cost I.H. 35 12" Water Line $ 24,000 Willowood Sewer 94,000 Well (350 gpm) 175,000 Ground Storage (500 K Gal) 140,000 Pump Station (500 gpm) 40,000 12" Water Line 140,000 Subtotal $613,000 Engineering & Contingencies 87,000 Subtotal $700,000 Less Funds Available-2001000 Subtotal $500,000 C.O.

Cost 18,000 Total $458,000 010 Mr. John Hamilton January 5, 1989 Page Eight OPTION 3 Description Cost I.H. 35 146 Water Line $ 24,000 Willowood Sewer 94,000 Ground Storage (300 K Gal) 103,000 Pump Station (300 gpm) 25,000 12" Water Line 62,000 Subtotal $308,000 Engineering & Contingencies 42,000 Subtotal $350,000 Less Funds Available-200,000 Subtotal $150,000 C.O. Cost 6,000 Total $156,000 Description Cost 12" Water Line $ 24,000 Willowood Sewer 94,000 Ground Storage (200 K Gal) 80,000 Connect to System 51000 Subtotal $203,000 Engineering & Contingencies 27,000 Subtotal $230,000 Less Funds Available-200,000 Subtotal $ 30,000 C.O. Cost 11200 Total $ 31,200 Cost Summary OPTION 1 $520,000 OPTION 2 $458,000 OPTION 3 $156,000 OPTION 4 $ 31,000 These estimated construction costs do not include land acquisition or legal costs. The most cost effective alternative is Option 1. This would provide for the existing water demands and for the future connection of the UTMWA water supply in 1993. All other options would require additional ground storage and/or pumping facilities when the UTMWA water supply is available. Old Mr. John Hamilton �� January 5, 1989 Page Nine 11. Time Schedule If the City decides to proceed immediately, the following approximate time schedule could be expected for the work program. This would vary with the specific work undertaken. The construction of a water well could take as long as four months. Typical tank construction time is four to six months. Line Construction has a shorter time span depending on weather, location etc. Description Land Acquisition Plans & Specifications Health Department Approval Bid & Award Construction Start Construction Complete This concludes our report on the propose Improvements.
