The Weekly Report

FROM THE CITY MANAGER & STAFF Week Ending March 13, 2015 FROM THE CITY MANAGER: Kicklighter Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Ground Breaking Ceremony. Construction of the City’s new Kicklighter WRF was formally kicked off this week with a “traditional” ground breaking ceremony. Ceremony participations included (L-R): Columbia County Economic Development Director Glenn Hunter, LC-CC Chamber of Commerce Director Dennille Decker, City Manager Wendell Johnson, Columbia County Commissioner Scarlet Frisina, City Councilman Eugene Jefferson, Mayor Stephen Witt, Hatch Mott MacDonald Engineer Leslie Samel, City Utilities Director Steve Roberts, and Ortega Industrial Contractors Project Manager Sara Manansala.

During the “peak” growth period of 2005 through 2008, Lake City officials recognized that its wastewater system had reached threshold capacity (85% level) and that upgrade of the system would be required. Land for a new WRF was purchased southwest of the City Limits on Kicklighter Road and the planning process for the “Kicklighter Water Reclamation Facility” was initiated to construct a three (3) million gallon per day (MGD) WRF. The City then arranged project funding in 2010 using the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act “Build America Bond” (BAB) Program. BABs are taxable municipal bonds that carry special tax credits or federal interest subsidies for either the bond issuer or the bond holder.

While moving forward with the proposed 3 MGD Kicklighter WRF design phase in early 2011 adverse economic conditions (growth slowdown) became a factor and the City placed the project on hold for additional review. As a result, the project design was amended in 2013 to construct 1.5 MGD WRF with added features for expansion to 3 MGD when necessary. The 1.5 MGD Kicklighter plant design was completed and the request for competitive bids was published during late 2014. The City awarded the Project Contract to Ortega Industrial Contractors at a cost $11.5 million. Additional revenue ($4.5 million) from the 2010 BAB was used for the City’s new Automated Meter Reading (AMR) System, the AMR and Public Service Communications Tower and to fund a required wastewater diversion line from the City’s existing St. Margarets Street WRF to the Kicklighter WRF. To the City’s benefit, the 2010 BAB provides an annual Interest Subsidy of $370,000. Over the life of the bond, this subsidy equates to a discount for the City bond payment of about $11 million. As final note, the Build America Bond Program was signed into law in February 2009…The BAB Program expired in December 2010. Thus, from an economic perspective, the City timing for funding the Kicklighter WRF was ideal. Upcoming Dates of Interest: Monday, March 16
