SECTION
GENERAL
1.0 Gemamd .
|norder tomeet the demands for water, wastewater and reclaimed water service
within the City ofSanford Utility Service Area oyub*m capital improvements are
needed. One nfthe most pressing needs |ethe construction ofanew, expandable
2.0 MGD Water Reclamation Facility in the vicinity of the Orlando/Sanford Airport.
Wastewater service is required to support expected significant growth in the
southeast portion ofthe service area. |naddition bothe water reclamation facility
water, wastewater and reclaimed water mains need to be upgraded and extended
to provide service. Many ofthese upgrades and extensions are associated with
road improvements planned throughout the service area.
Through the State Revolving Loan Program the City can obtain low interest loans
for funding the proposed improvements. The low interest (2.G5-3.22% in 1997)
results in significant cost savings to the City (i.e., interest savings on a $17 million
SRF loan compared to conventional financing would be over $10 million over the
life ofthe |oenj
Due hnthe significant cost savings associated with the SRF Loan program bio
proposed that the City pursue funding through the SRF program.
Aeofirst step the City has submitted orequest for inclusion onthe Planning portion
of the State Revolving Loan Priority List. The following three projects were
submitted:
Airport Vicinity Water Reclamation Facility $10.426,000.00
FnrnemainRelocations and Extensions 2.350.000.00
VVotermoinRelocations and Extensions 4,421,000^08
TOTAL $17.197.000.00
In order to be elevated to the fundable portion the year 2001. the planning and
design must proceed immediately. |naddition the plant site must beidentified and
secured byJune ofthis year tomeet the schedule.
The purpose of this Amendment is to authorize the Engineer to prepare a Facilities
Plan and other supporting documentation to obtain funding for the project under the
State Revolving Loan program.
The following items must be prepared or if already pnopured, assembled and
2
approved to obtain eligibility of the project for funding under the SRF Program:

TO: City Manager
FROM: Utility Director
RE: Engineering Services - State Revolving Loan Facilities Planning
Bill -
We have a number of high cost utility projects coming up in the near future.
These projects are needed to meet the growth of the city especially near the
Airport.
With the help of our engineering consultants we have been exploring ways to
fund these capital improvements projects. We have recently applied for inclusion
on the planning portion of the State Revolving Loan Priority list.
This loan program offers a low interest rate which will meet our funding needs.
This loan program requires the completion of a number of documents. Many of
these items would be needed regardless of the State loan program.
Attached is a proposal from CP&H outlining the necessary work needed for our
projects. This amendment would authorize CP&H to prepare the Facilities Plan
and other supporting documentation to obtain funding for our projects under the
State Revolving Loan Program.
It is recommended that the City Commission approve this CP&H amendment.
Funding for the engineering work at $176,389.92 would need to come from utility
reserves.

Re: "Proposed Amendment No. 52
CPH Project No. Z6582.00
Dear Paul
In order to meet the demands for water, wastewater and reclaimed water service within
the City of Sanford Utility Service Area system capital improvements are needed. One
of the most pressing needs is the construction of a new, expandable 2.0 MGD Water
Reclamation Facility in the vicinity of the Orlando/Sanford Airport. Wastewater service
is required to support expected significant growth in the southeast portion of the service
area. In addition to the water reclamation facility, water, wastewater and reclaimed
water mains need to be upgraded and extended to provide service. Many of these
upgrades and extensions are associated with road improvements planned throughout
the service area.
Through the State Revolving Fund Loan Program the City can obtain low interest loans'
for funding the proposed improvements. The low interest (2.65% - 3.22% in 1997)
resulted on significant cost savings to the City (i.e., interest savings on a $17 million
SRF loan compared to conventional financing would be over $10 million over the life of
the loan.)
Due to the significant cost savings associated with the SRF Loan program it is
proposed that the City pursue that avenue of funding.
As a first step the City has submitted a request for inclusion on the Planning portion of
the State Revolving Loan Priority List. The following three projects were submitted:
Airport Vicinity Water Reclamation Facility $10,426,000.00
Forcemain Relocations and Extensions 2,350,000.00
Watermain Relocations and Extensions 4,421,000.00'

In order to be elevated to the fundable portion of the portion of the list all planning,
plans and specifications must be completed and permits issued for the project.
Attachment B contains a schedule of activities required for the project. In order to have
a plant online in the year 2001, the planning and design must proceed immediately. In
addition the plant site must be identified and secured by June of this year to meet the
schedule.
