Analysis
This resolution approves a contract change to a State Water Infrastructure Program Grant from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (“TDEC”) and the Metropolitan Nashville Water and Sewerage Services Department (“MWS”), previously approved by Resolution No. RS2023-2118.
The original grant was in amount not to exceed $63,418,244.83 with a required cash match of $101,077,755.17. The grant is used to provide for major upgrades at the Dry Creek Water Reclamation Facility including construction of a new headworks, new Biosolids Facility, other residual management improvements, odor control improvements and electrical improvements. The term ends on September 30, 2026.
The resolution under consideration approves a change to the grant contract to change the scope of the project and reduce the required cash match from $101,077,775.17 to $29,200,052.09. The revised scope would be for a planning, design, and construction project at the Dry Creek Water Reclamation Facility to replace the current headworks.
