CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
SUMMARY
1 of 10
The identification and prioritization of projects to be included in the Capital Improvement
and Replacement Program is a multi-step process, requiring monitoring and updating to ensure
that the highest priority problems within the District are addressed in a timely manner, given
funding limitations. These stages include: project identification, conceptual solution,
preliminary study, final design, and construction.
At each step in the process, the project scope is reevaluated to verify that it continues to
meet regulatory requirements and customers’ needs. The project cost is updated based on
available information, and the project’s priority is assessed with the goal that the highest priority
projects are funded first.
Project cost estimates used in the budget preparation process and shown in the Budget
Supplement are usually based on the preliminary study stage of the process. At this stage there is
typically a minimal amount of detailed information available regarding geotechnical conditions,
utility relocation requirements, easement requirements, and other site-specific issues that have
the potential to significantly affect the project’s construction cost. Preliminary study cost
estimates are intended to be within thirty percent of the design engineer’s final estimates.
Individual projects may vary to a greater degree than the average, due to unanticipated site-
specific conditions that impact the project cost.
New projects are identified on an ongoing basis to ensure that the District is in
compliance with the regulatory requirements of the United States Environmental Protection
Agency and Missouri Department of Natural Resources, to address customer stormwater or
wastewater problems, remedy deficiencies identified through planning studies and hydraulic

analysis of the system, and implement required collection system and wastewater treatment plant
maintenance and upgrades.
Upon the initial identification of regulatory issues, localized problems, or system
deficiencies, a conceptual solution is developed, which includes a project scope, cost estimate,
and priority ranking of the project relative to similar projects. This solution and associated cost
estimate are general, based on a single site visit and a “table -top” analysis of the problem. The
project may then be incorporated into the Capital Improvement and Replacement Program in a
specific fiscal year, based on the availability of funds and priority of the project.
Before the year in which funding of the project is anticipated, a preliminary stud y is
performed. In this study, scope is reevaluated in greater detail to ensure that the conceptual
solution is still viable, given current conditions, regulatory requirements, and updated project
cost estimate and priority ranking. In performing this preliminary study, the District may make
multiple site visits to inspect the problem area and estimate alignment of the sewer or channel to
be constructed. Preliminary survey information may be obtained and a more detailed hydraulic
analysis performed than was done at the conceptual solution level. Preliminary studies are
typically performed by the Engineering Department. However, the District may use engineering
consultant services to perform preliminary studies during periods of heavy workload, or for
large, complex projects such as new treatment plants, upgrades to existing treatment plants,
tunnel projects, or major sewer upgrades.
Upon completion of a preliminary study, the project’s priority ranking is reevaluated
relative to other, similar projects. A project may be rescheduled to a later fiscal year within the

Capital Improvement and Replacement Program, should its priority ranking be reduced due to
increased project cost estimate or modification of its scope.
The final design of a project is performed by either the District’s Engineering Department
staff or via engineering consultant services. As part of the final design process, topographic and
geotechnical information is collected, utility conflicts are identified, construction plans and
specifications are prepared, and easement and temporary construction license plats are drafted.
In FY2015, 65 engineering budget items have been or will be procured using the
Watershed Consultant approach, retaining firms for multi-year efforts on a related suite of
projects, in order to increase efficiency, expedite the program and meet Consent Decree
requirements and schedule. Following is a listing of the Watershed Consultant related

For projects of significant scope and impact, coordination with property owners who will
benefit or who will be affected by the construction of the project is achieved at neighborhood
meetings hosted by the District. For smaller projects, property owners are individually contacted
during the design of the project.
Many projects require that new easements be acquired to enable the project to be
constructed. The time required to acquire these easements is lengthy and may result in delays in
the planned construction schedule. When necessary, the District may condemn for easements in
order to ensure that a project is constructed. Any required condemnation proceedings are
performed in full compliance with state and federal law. Some projects may additionally require
specific permitting from other government agencies, such as the Missouri Department of Natural
Resources, prior to bidding.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
SUMMARY
8 of 10
A project is advertised for public bidding a minimum of 30 days, followed by a formal
bid opening. Bids are evaluated to determine the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
Appropriation and contract ordinances are submitted to the Board of Trustees for their approval.
Upon ordinance passage, contracts are executed and notices to proceed are issued.
In addition to wastewater and stormwater projects, the District may construct sanitary
sewer sub-district projects at the request of property owners currently served by private systems
or individual septic tank systems. These sub-districts are financed by the benefiting property
owners, using special benefit assessments. The affected property owners initiate the projects by
submitting a petition to the District, which provides design and construction management
assistance. Because of the uncertainty of the viability and/or schedule of s ub-district projects,
they are not always listed in the Budget Supplement.
Wastewater projects are funded via revenue from the wastewater user charge paid by
ratepayers. The user charge also supports the sale of revenue bonds to fund the wastewater
program. Generally, Fund 6660, the Sanitary Replacement Fund, is used to pay for capital
wastewater work, while Fund 1101, the General Fund, is used to pay for non-capital wastewater
related work. The allocation of a given project’s costs between these two funds is an accounting
function necessary to facilitate capitalization of District assets. Wastewater projects may also be
funded by various Operation, Maintenance, Construction and Improvement (OMCI) funds,
Construction Funds, Special Funds, or the Improvement Fund.
Stormwater projects may be funded via the General Fund, Construction Funds, Special
Funds, the Improvement Fund, or from various Operation, Maintenance, Construction, and
