County Service Area (CSA) No. 17 provides sewer service in Cottonwood. The treatment plant discharges to Cottonwood Creek. Treatment improvements are proposed. In 2015, the State Revolving Fund provided a $434,000 planning grant. In April 2018, the Board adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration and the State Water Resources Control Board awarded a $5,897,000 grant/loan package. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was circulated for design and construction management services. PACE Engineering, Inc. was the only responsive firm to submit a proposal. Staff negotiated the proposed agreement and recommends Board approval. |
