KELLY AND WARD MOBILE HOME PARKS AND TAYLOR ESTATES SUBDIVISION - SEWER
EXTENSION
A letter from Robert E. Owens, & Associates, Inc., Engineers, was read
regarding proposed Lift Station and Force Main to serve Kelly & Ward Trailer
Park and Taylor Estates Subdivision. The letter stated that the plans,
specifications and contract documents for the above Lift Station and Force
Main are complete and ready for advertisement for bids with estimated
construction costs of $33,300. The Agreements, the amounts to be placed in
escrow by Kelly Estate and the Developer of Taylor Estates Subdivision should
be available prior to advertisement. Necessary easements should be recorded
prior to the call for bids. The only outstanding easement was the Kelly
Estate. Based on station usage the monies involved; the Kelly Estate
$10,400 dollars with the balance $24,565 dollars from Taylor Estates
Subdivision. At such time the Ward Trailer Park should desire service they
would reimburse the Kelly Estate $5,200 dollars as their pro-rata share
and show proof of such payment before the City permits them to tie into
this station and force main set up. Inherent in the design of the lift
station is excess capacity of about l0 gallons per minute on average daily
flow basis which can serve approximately 40 additional singl~ family residents,
or the equivalent. Should this capacity be requested, then ~ of the total
cost of the lift station and force main should be reimbursable equally to
Kelly & Taylor before service is rendered. These are the recommendations
from Donald M. Shepherd, Engineer, and listed is a summary of mathematics
involved:
Escrow Amounts - Kelly/Ward $10,400.00
Taylor Estates - 24,565.00
Total Construction Cost $D4,965.00 (Inspection Included)
Future Rebates: (1) If Ward Trailer Park ties in $5,200.00
payment to Kelly Estate prior to service
(Kelly & Ward equal users) would be in order.
(2) 3rd party connections for surplus capacity
which is 25% of station capacity or
$28,300 (0.25) = $7,075.00.
This amount or any portion rebated would
go 50/5Q to Kelly & Taylor.
Discussion of this project, by the Council pointed out that we have
an easement across the North Shore Shopping Plaza in return for accepting
some Water Lines. It was stated that, before his death, Mr. J.G. Kelly
was to handle the easement involving his property and that of Zollie
Aldridge. The Council agreed that a copy of Don Shepherd's !etter,,men-
tioned above, should be sent to Attorney Tom Conley, who represents the
Kelly Estate, to advise him that the City needs to have easements from the
Kelly Estate and Zollie Aldridge and that these parties need to place their
monies in escrow so that the City can call for bids. Taylor Estates should
also be sent the same information.
