  3. PROJECT COSTS & FINANCING - Baseline Position - Funding Available Sechelt Funding $ 8.9 Sewer Treatment Reserves $4.9 Sewer Treatment DCCs 1.5 Unrestricted Operating Surplus 2.5 Other governments $11.2 Gas Tax Funding $8.0 Building Canada Funding 3.2 Other sources $2.5 Loan $2.5 Repay over 5 years using sewer reserve surpluses FUNDING AVAILABLE $25.1 Project Costs 2011-2012 Costs $1.0m Contract price $21.3 PST $0.8 2013 -14 costs $1.3 Contingency $0.5 TOTAL COSTS $ 25.0

  4. Why is it “so expensive” • Because we are doing high level (“tertiary”) treatment • This added about $5m to the cost • . . . However . . .

  5. Why are we doing high level treatment? • Enables widest range of options for reuse of water. • 90% reduction in contaminant load to Trail Bay • Avoids $3m outfall expansion • In keeping with Federal and Provincial policies which encourage the use of reclaimed water • Goal was set in Sechelt’s 2011 Sustainability Action Plan

  6. Sustainability Action Plan Liquid Waste : “to treat effluent to the highest levels” • Other goals of the Plan; • Reduce noise and smell to the greatest extent possible • Pursue opportunities to recover resources from treated effluent • Maximise energy efficiency, reduce water consumption • Base infrastructure decisions on full life cycle costs • Ensure that municipal infrastructure is integrated and energy efficient and has the lowest environmental impact possible.

  7. Proposal Evaluation * For comparison, all capital costs assume biosolids composting by Salish Soils Need to add $3.2m of DoS costs to all bid prices to get the “Project Cost” **Base bid, Lot L projects include new, relocated, odour controlled pump station at Ebbtide

  8. Location of Ganges WWTP, Salt Spring Island
