Construction Company & Approval to Advertise for the Construction Bids
for An Elevated Water Tank up to 1,000,000 Gallons for the West Farm
Development Project/Millard Refrigeration Inc.: County Manager Mashburn
said the West Farm Development site would accommodate future industrial
development along with Millard Refrigeration.
Benji Thomas, an engineer with West Consultants, said bids were opened on
January 16, 2003, for the sewer line, and the low bid was from Bell Construction
for $160,466. Thomas said that at the time the bids were opened, they were based
on the plan for a four -inch sewer line from the Millard plant to Statesville's sewer
system. He said recently, notice had been received about the possibility of
serving additional "wet industry." Thomas said two additional scenarios had been
proposed, and these were:
Scenario 11 (6" forcemain)
Construct pump station on/near Millard's property and increase size to
accommodate the larger forcemain and to accommodate possible wet industry.
The pump station would be owned by Millard, at least initially, and the forcemain
by the county.
Total cost: $248,276
Iredell County's Obligation $112,800 (over five years)
$ 87,810 during construction (est.)
Immediate Capacity of Pump Station 100,000 gal./day
Ultimate capacity of forcemain 250,000 gal/day
Scenario III (8" forcemain)
Construct pump station on/near Millard's property and increase size to
accommodate the larger forcemain and to accommodate possible wet industry.
Again, the pump station would be owned by Millard, at least initially, and the
forcemain by the county. In this scenario, it is assumed that at new pump station
(cost not included here) would one day be constructed at the low point of the
West Farm "industrial park," thus serving a larger area as well as greater flows.
Total cost: $277,039.50 (est.)
Iredell County's Obligation $112,800 (over five years)
$116,573.50 during construction (est.)
Immediate Capacity of Pump Station: 180,000 gal./day
Ultimate Capacity of Forcemain 500,000 gal/day
Original concept or Scenario I (4" forcemain)
Construct project as already designed and bid. Pump station would be built on
Millard Refrigerated Services property and owned by Millard. Forcemain owned
by county.
Total Cost: $160,466 (bid price)
Iredell County's Obligation: $112,800 (over five years)
Immediate Capacity of Pump Station: 15,000 gal./day
Ultimate Capacity of Forcemain 100,000 gal./day
Mr. Thomas suggested for the board to choose scenario 11 or III. He said
the eight -inch line would provide an extra benefit for the county in the long run.
Thomas said a request was also being made for the board to authorize the
consulting group to advertise for the construction of the water tank.
Jeff McKay, the Director of the Greater Statesville Development
Corporation (GSDC), said the site had always been of interest to industrial
prospects, but due to the lack of infrastructure, nothing had developed. McKay
said in the past few weeks more interest had surfaced, especially with some food-
processing operations that would complement Millard's services. McKay said the
city last night had chosen not to participate in a one-third split up -front, but the
council would review the possibility of this type of reimbursement if annexation
