77 Commissioner Scurlock agreed that it should not be referred to as a package plant, which has a different connotation. He noted that there is a Marloff system, which is portable and less costly than the more permanent poured -in-place plant, and Director Pinto emphasized that one of the most important parts of the project is stability and a system that is built in modular fashion so it can be expanded readily. Director Pinto further noted that if we get to a point where it is necessary to do some redesign to make the bidding a competitive situation rather than being locked into one vendor, it may be necessary to expand the contract, and staff would come back to the Board for direction. He continued that we are looking initially at constructing a plant for one million gpd, but they can start up at half a million gallons. With minor changes in piping, the plant automatically goes to a one million mode, and then we can add modules up to five million gallons or even more in increments of 500,000 gallons. Commissioner Scurlock noted that without advanced methods of percolation, the site will not handle over one million gpd. Administrator Wright did not anticipate being up to one million for sometime to come, but we have sold the one million capacity and it is possible we may have to look for expansion to meet the permitting requirements of the DER in the very near future. Director Pinto emphasized that when we get the plant built for one million gallons,- we will try diligently to take existing package plants off line and bring that flow directly into the system. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously accepted staff's recommendation to authorize a change order under the existing contract with consultants, Williams, Hatfield, Stoner/Carter in an amount not to exceed FEB 5 1985 BOOK 59 P,.CE 747 L
