 44. PROJECT:Glenrock Groundwater Supply
LEVEL:III
SPONSOR:Town of Glenrock
LOCATION:Converse County
PROGRAM:New Development
  
EXISTING LEGISLATION:
Purpose Chapter Session Account Appropriation Due Date
Level II 82 1999 I $75,000 2000
Level II 81 1999 I $300,000 2000
Level III 96 2000 I $1,650,000 2004

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The town of Glenrock has purchased the supply test well No. 5 drilled under a Level II study conducted in 1999. Construction tasks include installation of a pump, pump house, 10,220 feet of 14 inch transmission line, 11,200 feet of powerline, improvements along the transmission line (air/vacuum valves, blowoffs, roadbase, ravine crossings, etc.), installation of a PRV building, and SCADA equipment.

Civil Engineering Professionals Incorporated of Casper has been retained to design the improvements. Additional groundwater monitoring has been undertaken to insure impacts from the new well are identified and mitigated.

A construction contract for this work was awarded to 71 Construction of Casper in November 2001. However, only three of the four bid schedules can be completed given the available funding. The City has applied for additional funding of $ 175,000.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
It is recommended that the additional funding of $175,000 be approved to allow completion of the entire project.
