Dear Craig Christoffersen:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed M & J Trailer Park Water Line from you on March 12, 2024.
This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan approval.
Our understanding of the project is the construction of an 8-inch diameter PVC C900 water line, including fire hydrants and other improvements, extending Ukon Water Company’s system
to connect and provide drinking water to the M & J Trailer Home Community (UTAH02078) water system. The water line will be installed along 450 W (4400 W) in Fielding, Utah running north
to 18250 N.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped, and signed byBrett Jones, P.E., dated March 12, 2024, and find they basically comply with the applicable portions
of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems in R309. On this basis, the plans for M & J Trailer Park Water Line are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before M & J Trailer Park Water Line may be put in service. A checklist outlining
the items required for operating permit issuance is enclosed for your information.Approvals or permits from the local authority or the county may be necessary before beginning construction
of this project. As the project proceeds, notice of any changes in the approved design, as well as any change affecting the quantity or quality of the delivered water, must be submitted
to the Division. We may also conduct interim and final inspections of this project. Please notify us when actual construction begins so that these inspections can be scheduled.
This approval must be renewed if construction has not begun or if substantial equipment has not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.SRF FundingThe project, as described
herein, is generally eligible for assistance under the Drinking Water Construction Assistance Program. All change orders will need to be reviewed and approved for compliance with the
Drinking Water Rules and the conditions of this construction approval. The project may now be advertised for bids. But, as a condition of the project funding, you must not award the
contract or proceed with construction until the Division of Drinking Water has authorized you to do so. This is necessary to comply with applicable requirements and to protect you,
as the funding recipient, by ensuring that the contract meets requirements for funded projects. Federal regulations require that a concerted effort must be made to encourage participation
of small and disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE) by providing requisite information, including plans and specifications on the project. In order to provide opportunities to DBE
subcontractors, utilization goals for Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE) have been determined to be 4% and 2%, respectively. As outlined
in the contract documents, the prime contractor must submit a list of prepared MBE/WBE subcontractors to be used on this project and documentation of solicitation efforts with the bid.
The prime contractor's efforts to provide opportunity to DBE's must be reviewed and approved by this office before the contract can be awarded.
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact Cameron Draney, P.E., of this office, at [phone], or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
