WIBA #1 – Update Feb 1, 2024

Water Improvement Benefit Area No. 1
Update as of 02-1-24

The status on the Clarkson Water Improvement Benefit Area No. 1 (WIBA #1) provided to the Town of Clarkson by its engineers, MRB Group, is as follows:

· Easement maps and descriptions were provided to Attorney Olson on 12/7/23. We have been working with him to respond to residents’ questions, and help to obtain the 29 signed easements required. Last update from Attorney Olson was that about 50% of the easements have been signed.
· MCWA is the only outstanding approval that the project needs regarding engineering. We addressed MCWA comments from 12/28/23 and returned revised plans and specs on 1/19/24.

We are still hopeful that the project schedule as of 11/1/23 is accurate (see below). The biggest hurdle is how quickly we can get all of the easements signed, notarized, and returned to Attorney Olson. It appears that everything else we need will be in place in the next couple weeks.

· Bidding of project early 2024
· Construction of project beginning spring 2024
· Construction completed and cleaned up spring/summer 2025

If you have any further questions on this project, please feel free to contact Scott Mattison, Engineer @ MRB Group, 585-340-3661 or Clarkson Town Hall 585-637-1130.
