While specific budget details are not definitively stated, previous design reports estimated total project costs ranging from approximately $300,000 to over $41 million for comprehensive upgrades. The project serves approximately 9,000 sewer connections with a current Average Dry Weather Flow capacity of 5.0 MGD. Compensation for the selected consultant will be based on approved actual time and materials, not to exceed the agreed-upon "Not-to-Exceed Fee", with progress-based payments contingent on task completion.
