Talked to another civil engineer--$18,000 for surveying/basic designs, approx total $32,000 if permits and certified designs are needed 
  • USDA-  waiting for info from Willmot on building bidding..  Also -Need to submit more info to USDA. Civil Engineer says we will have issues with fire protection based on distance being greater than 400 feet to existing hydrants and the fact new building doesn't have sprinklers in design. Will also need to add sewage lift station to get sewage to existing lift station.
  • MODULAR building-  Communicating with Building Dept about small modular building where bus is located near playground. Again, we may have issues with fire protection.  Building would be small--approx 700 sq ft of usable space.
