! By NATALIE JOHNSON The city of Shelton is planning on continuing efforts to strength- en its sewer system this summer with sewer Basin- 5. On Monday, the city commission reviewed a proposal to award the bid for con- struction on the project. "This is a sewer line leak repair project for lack of a better term," said city engineer Mike Michael. Monday the city commission considered awarding the bid for the project to Buno Construction out of Snohomish. The Basin 5 project is specifi- cally designed to prevent the pos- sibility of raw sewage leaking into homes, groundwater, other water bodies, or the city water supply and to prevent ground water get- ting into sewer lines. The project includes more than 39,000 feet of pipeline that will be replaced over 14 months. Basin 5 is mainly in the Hillcrest neigh- borhood.

Buno Construction LLC out of Snohomish, the low bidder at $9.6 million, has applied for other city projects in the past. "This number is about $2.2 mil- lion dollars before the bottom of our engineer's estimate range," Michael said, "We have funding to cover the full $13 million dollars of the range between the various funding sources that we have." About five years ago, the city embarked on its plan to revamp the sewer system, including com- pletely redoing the wastewater treatment plant, adding a waste- water reclamation plant, adding or rebuilding several pump sta- tions and sewer lines and address- ing leaks in the various sewer ba- sins within the city. The various sewer projects un- der this umbrella have received funding from the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development Fund (USDA/RD). City staff advised the commis- sion to approve the bid. The com- mission should vote on the bid at a later date. an__ m n n N CO.
