The project was originally designed to include wetland strands which would involve the purchase of privately owned lands
along the lake's edge. Due to rising land costs the City has requested several no-cost time extensions until land
acquisition was complete. Because of these rising land values, the City evaluated alternative designs to complete the
project and reduce costs associated with land acquisition. The City has recently chosen an alternative design that
involves the installation of underground hydrodynamic separators to treat stormwater rather than the originally planned
wetland strands. The alternative design will allow the City to complete the project without acquiring privately owned lands,
which should result in significantly reduced total project costs. The City has modified their existing permit and the Peace
River Basin Board has included additional funding for this project in its FY2009 budget. The second amendment to the
contract was executed on January 28, 2008 which extends the contract expiration date from December 31, 2008 to
March 31, 2009. The third amendment has been executed and extends the contract period, revises the scope of work,
and adds FY2009 funds to the existing contract. The bid for construction went out on December 15, 2008. The
cooperator awarded the bid in January 2009. Project construction began on April 6, 2009 and is scheduled to be
completed by November 2009.
