DISCUSSION FOLLOWED, AND IT WAS NOTED THAT IF FOR SOME REASON THE COUNTY LINE DID NOT GO UP THERE, RALMAR COULD END UP WITH A 12" WATER LINE, COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF RALMAR WAS READY TO PROCEED, AND . :MR. FALB STATED THAT THEY WERE READY TO START NEXT WEEK. MR. FALB POINTED OUT THAT IF THEY DID PUT IN A 6" LINE, IT SIMPLY WOULD BE ABANDONED WHEN THE COUNTY PUT IN THEIR 12" LINE, AND IF THEY BUILD THE 12" LINE, IT CAN THEN BE TURNED OVER TO THE COUNTY AND THEY CAN TAP INTO IT. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WOULD SIMPLY BUILD THE LINE FOR THE COUNTY AHEAD OF TIME WHICH WOULD SAVE TEARING UP THE EASEMENT TWICE. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE DOES`'NOT BELIEVE THAT RALMAR COULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS WATER LINE OUT OF THE GRANT FUNDS, CHAIRMAN WODTKE INQUIRED AS TO THE COST OF.THE 12" LINE AS COM- PARED TO THE 6" LINE. CONSULTING ENGINEER .JAMES BEINDORF ESTIMATED THE 12" LINE WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY X20,000 AS OPPOSED TO $12,000 TO $13,000 FOR A 6" LINE. THIS COST WOULD BE JUST FOR THE LINE UP. TO WHERE RALMAR WOULD NORMALLY TIE INTO THE COUNTY LINE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE BROUGHT UP THE QUESTION OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING ON THIS PROJECT, MR, FALB STATED THAT WHEN THE COUNTY PUTS THE WHOLE LINE OUT FOR BIDS, THEY WOULD AGREE TO BE REIMBURSED ON WHATEVER BASIS THE BID IS AWARDED, ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THIS IS A SINGLE AND UNIQUE -TYPE SITUATION, AND HE DOES NOT FEEL IT WOULD REQUIRE A BID. DISCUSSION CONTINUED AS TO WHETHER THIS WOULD BE REIMBURSABLE UNDER THE GRANT, AND COMMISSIONER Loy POINTED OUT IF A PORTION OF THE LINE WERE ALREADY COMPLETED, IT WOULD ALTER THE GRANT APPLICATION. THE BOARD AGREED THEY DID NOT WANT TO ALTER THE APPLICATION IN ANY WAY. MR. FALB NOTED THAT THEIR MAIN PROBLEM IS TIMING, COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER SUGGESTED THAT RALMAR ONLY BUILD THE 6" LINE THAT WOULD BRING THEM TO WHERE THEY TIE INTO THE COUNTY LINE AND THEN SEE WHAT THE STATUS OF THE GRANT IS, • 30 DEC 15 1976 too 27 459
