REQUEST: Amend Ordinance 97-45 to authorize the issuance of General Obligation Bonds for the purpose of financing the following wastewater public improvements: 1. Paukaa Community Collector Sewer $2,000,000.00 2. Kalanianaole Collector Sewer, PhII $3,000,000.00 3. Kaumana Gardens Collector Sewer $4,000,000.00 TOTAL: $9,000,000.00 B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): 1. Paukaa Community Collector Sewer: These funds have been previously appropriated in Ordinance No. 96-68. A subsequent appropriation and bond authorization for $2.5 million initially was meant to supercede the previous appropriation. However, final estimates for the planned work have increased to $3,324,199. It has also come to our attention that a significant portion of the old plantation line has deteriorated and is in need of replacement in order to prevent imminent sewage spills. We have already repaired one section where the pipe had separated and the ground collapsed. We then performed a TV inspection of the old line and discovered significant root intrusion and corrosion of the cast iron pipes. Costs to replace this line may exceed an additional $1.0 million. 2. Kalanianaole Collector Sewer, PhII: These funds have been previously appropriated in Ordinance No. 96-68. This project is a grant condition for the Hilo Wastewater Treatment Plant. 3. Kaumana Gardens Collector Sewer: These funds have been previously appropriated in Ordinance No. 97-82. This project is a grant condition for the Hilo Wastewater Treatment Plant. SIGNED: DATE: a Head
