REQUEST FOR AN ADDITION TO THE AGENDA FROM THE CITY
OF STATESVILLE PERTAINING TO SEWER CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR
THE STATESVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT: Statesville City Manager Rob Hires
and Statesville Engineer Wayne Lambert said the city had awarded airport sewer bids
on January 3, 2005, to Buckeye Construction for $1,547,081,00. Hites said this amount
exceeded the original engineering estimate by $484,081.00. He said the July 6, 2004,
agreement between the county and city stipulated the county would pay one-half of the
costs associated with the construction of sanitary sewer from the Third Creek outfall to
the west side (Runway 10-28) of the airport. Hites said the county had added an
addendum to the agreement requesting re -review of the project if the costs exceeded the
$1,063,000.00 engineering estimate, and this was why he was advising of the cost
difference.
When asked if Evernham Motorsports would benefit from the project, Hites said
there were two options available to provide assistance with one of them being to pump.
He said the staff had looked at extending the output back towards Hwy. 70 to Third
Creek. Hires said the other option would be a force main with a pump station.
Commissioner Johnson asked about grant funds and the possibility of the county
being reimbursed for its participation in the project.
Hires said that for water and sewer, there was nothing available at this time. He
said also, the agreement stipulated the city would be reimbursed first, for any funds it
advanced for the project.
