<br />. Mr. Bill Birrenkott <br />April 7, 1993 <br />Pdge Two <br /> <br />The construction of a pond would reduce the initial construction cost by an estimated 563,000. <br />This is due to the elimination of the basin below the building. This estimated reduction in cost <br />assumes that the approximately 0.25 acre of land for the pond has no value. Another cost <br />savings, which is harder to quantify, is the value of treating at the wastewater treatment plant <br />approximately 150,000 pllons per week of backwash water. Of course, this would be <br />eliminated in the future if the backwash water was reclaimed. <br /> <br />As we discussed, from strictly a cost-effective engineering perspective, we believe a pond is the <br />best alternative. From an initial cost standpoint, it certainly is the least costly alternative. <br />However, there are other issues involved in this decision such as safety, liability, aesthetics, and <br />environmental sensitivity. These other issues may outweigh the issue of least costly alternative. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or would like further information on this issue, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MAIER STEWAlU & ASSOCIATES, INe <br /> <br />c-~ <br />~.P~ <br /> <br />'DM:tp <br /> <br />cc: Mr. Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />005-0803 ..,.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />005-0803 .IIIr <br />
