SUBJECT
recommendation
Authorize funding in the amount not-to-exceed $388,300 to Fannin County Electric Cooperative (FCEC) for final engineering services associated with providing electric power service to the Leonard Water Treatment Plant (Leonard WTP) southside for future expansions; and Leonard WTP High Service Pump Station-South.
end
PURPOSE
The purpose of this project is to expand the electrical service to accommodate the expansion of the Leonard WTP to its ultimate 280 MGD capacity. FCEC will design the expansion of the existing electrical substation at Leonard WTP, which transforms the 138-kilovolt transmission voltage to a 25-kilovolt distribution voltage.
