Ms. Osborne
It has to go through DES for approvals and everything. Sometimes that it time consuming. It’s kind of a looser
schedule when it gets to the bidding part. We have to have it approved by DES before we can put it out to bid.
We will have a better idea once we get the final project moving along.
Alderman Cookson
The final construction is going to take 18 months, thereabouts?
Ms. Osborne
Thereabouts.
Alderman Cookson
Are there opportunities for efficiency? Can we pull this in any?
Ms. Osborne
We have pulled it in. The schedule, itself, a lot of the pump stations in the 30 percent design are cookie cutter
stations you know that you buy the structure and it doesn’t has to be constructed there. There’s just site work
and things to happen onsite. But you still have to look at lead times on pumps and those little buildings and
add things like that. This is our best estimate, the engineer’s best estimate for the final plan. Certainly if we
can expedite at any point, we would.
Alderman Cookson
Is this the city’s best estimate or is this ...
Ms. Osborne
This comes from Woodard & Curran.
Alderman Cookson
