To: Mt. Crested Butte Water & Sanitation District Board of Directors
From: Mike Fabbre, District Manager
Date: May 7, 2020
Subject: District Manager Report
(4-WW-C) Clarifier Building The project has started again after delays due to COVID-19 and some sub-contractors being sick. All County exemptions to resume work are in place and we are cautiously moving the project forward. keeping our operators healthy and social distancing are still the main priorities as overlapping areas with staff and contractors are unavoidable. Progress will be slower because of only allowing a limited number of contractors onsite at time, but substantial completion is scheduled for 6/10/20.
(102001) WTP Expansion Project The Town of Mt. CB Planning Commission voted unanimously on approval of the design review. JVA has completed the 100% construction drawings and project manual which were submitted to the Town and their third-party reviewing contractor. Closing of the loan with the Colorado Water Resources & Power Development Authority is scheduled for 5/14/20, and we continue to monitor interest rate as that date nears. After the loan is completed, we will look to provide Moltz construction with a notice to proceed.
CBMR Water Service Line This project is now under contract with Lacy Construction with a substantial completion date of 6/15/20. We are still working out some details with CBMR, but will look to break ground the third week of May.
(202002) Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) We were successful at installing five flow meters throughout the collections system to help track I&I. We were able to complete this before the peak I&I spring run-off season and the information we gather should be valuable for our engineering report that is required for our discharge permit.
Meridian Lake Park Reservoir No.1 Water Rights The 60-day window after our filing for an absolute water right has expired and there were no public objections submitted. We are now waiting for the water court judge to make a final determination.
Personnel John Dethloff has retired after 31 years of service to the District. We will plan on having a party or BBQ at an appropriate time later in the season. Evan Sandstrom has been hired to join the wastewater department and will begin training over the next few weeks. The District still has one water and one wastewater position to fill.

The purpose of this memo is to update you and the District Board on the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Expansion Project and activities completed in the month of April 2020. The summary below is purposely brief and can be expanded upon if you or any of the Board members have specific questions or concerns.
JVA submitted the 100 percent construction drawings and project manual on April 27th to the District and Moltz Construction. These incorporated the comments from the team on the 90 percent submittal.
JVA has submitted the Gunnison County building permit and land use applications for the East River Pump Station. The Town of Mt. Crested Butte design review package was submitted to the Town’s reviewer on April 30th. We expect approvals for these submittals in mid-May.
A Notice of Award was issued to Moltz Construction on April 16th. Moltz will be providing a signed agreement, bonds and insurance this week to the District. A Notice to Proceed is expected following the loan closing in mid-may.
A pre-construction meeting is likely to occur in late May which will include representatives from the State Revolving Fund program.
The Conditional Use Application was accepted by the Town of Mt. Crested Butte. This application included a landscaping plan for the water treatment plant.
The project remains on schedule and within budget. Mobilization is expected to begin following the loan closing around May 15, 2020. We appreciate the opportunity to work with the District on this important project and look forward to supporting the District during construction phase over the next two years.
