It won’t be long now before the city finds out whether it will be able to go with the public-private partnership or P-3 model to pay for a water treatment plant on the east side.
Acting City Manager Bill Edwards says he got an email from P-3 stating a decision could be made as early as next month.
Edwards says P-3 is quite scrupulous wants to make sure the city has the people and resources to see the project through to the awarding of a contract complete with proper specifications before coming on board.
The application process has been so rigourous, though, consulting fees have more than doubled to over 200 thousand dollars.
