Upon the call of the roll, all voted aye. Motion carried. 3.) Recommendation of Extraterritorial Certified Survey Map; 1014 Short Cut Road – located on Short Cut Road and CTH PP in the Town of Plymouth; for a 2-lot certified survey map. Brunner (enclosure) Stefani Brunner has submitted an extraterritorial CSM to divide land they own along Short Cut Road and CTH PP in the Town of Plymouth. The property as it exists now is approximately 1.98 acres and includes a home and driveway off of Short Cut Road, along with various outbuildings. Motion was made by Nicolaus/Wyatt to recommend that the Common Council approve the extraterritorial certified survey map for 1014 Short Cut Road as presented. Upon the call of the roll, all voted aye. Motion carried. 4.) Recommendation of Extraterritorial Certified Survey Map; N5908 Willow Road – located on Willow Road and STH 23 in the Town of Plymouth; for a 4-lot certified survey map. Van Horn Properties of Plymouth, LLC (enclosure) Earlier this year, the City approved an extraterritorial CSM for the Van Horn property along Willow Road and STH 23 in the Town of Plymouth after they acquired about 5 acres of land from the Kleinhans Trust to the west of their existing property. Now, they are coming back with a fresh CSM to adjust the lines of ownership as multiple LLCs under the Van Horn umbrella. Further, existing parcel 59016219022 (the main Van Horn property at N5908 Willow Road) is planned to have a small addition onto the service drive, but needs additional space to install that drive to meet setback requirements. As this property is within the City’s 1.5 -mile buffer for extraterritorial review as fourth- class City, Plan Commission and Common Council approval are required for CSMs in this area. The Town of Plymouth approved this CSM at their meeting on March 10, 2026. Motion was made by Nicolaus/Schmitz to recommend that the Common Council approve the extraterritorial certified survey map for N5908 Willow Road as presented. Upon the call of the roll, all voted aye. Motion carried. 5.) Recommendation of Extraterritorial Certified Survey Map; W5790 Emerald Lane (parcel #59016225160) – located on Emerald Lane in the Town of Plymouth; for a 3- lot certified survey map. Wolf (enclosure) Bart Wolf has submitted an extraterritorial CSM to divide land they own along on Emerald Lane in the Town of Plymouth. This area is within the 1.5- mile buffer for City of Plymouth extraterritorial review and approval. The lot is currently out-lot 1 of the Emerald Hills subdivision and is approximately 3 acres in size. The CSM would divide the lot into three new lots each one acre in size. Mr. Wolf has communicated to the City that he plans to build three spec homes on the property once the land division is completed. Staff discussed the layout of Emerald Lane along the southern frontage of these proposed lots. Though this is a Town of Plymouth road, city staff has had discussions with the landowner on how they plan to provide emergency vehicle access. Mr. Wolf has communicated that they have began discussions with the Town on vacating the town right- of-way for this section of Emerald Lane and turn it into a shared driveway. From the City’s perspective, as long as emergency vehicle access is adequate, the City does not have a preference on if the entrance is Town right-of-way or a private driveway. Motion was made by Nicolaus/Wyatt to recommend that the Common Council approve the extraterritorial certified survey map for 1014 Short Cut Road with the following contingencies: • The installation of at a minimum 20’ wide access for public safety vehicles. • Approval of the CSM from the Town of Plymouth Upon the call of the roll, all voted aye. Motion carried. 6.) Concept Plan Seeking Feedback; Regarding a concept site plan to construct three 12-unit apartment buildings on the former Willowglen Academy property at 1111 Reed Street in the R-4 Multi-Family Residential District Stroebel (enclosure) Trevor Stroebel has submitted a concept plan for the former Willowglen Academy property at 1111 Reed Street to develop the property with three 12- unit apartment buildings. The development would include a mix of one and two bedroom units, as well as a mix of garage and off -street surface lot parking options for residents. The former Willowglen Academy building would be razed as part of this project. The applicant is seeking general feedback from the Plan Commission before coming back with a formal submittal. Trevor Stroebel and Troy Hartjes were present for the meeting. Mr. Stroebel is the developer and Mr. Hartjes is their engineer from raSmith. Mr. Stroebel presented a summary of the project, explaining that they are proposing three 12-unit apartment buildings for the site and also have an option to purchase a vacant lot on Clifford Street directly to the south for a utility easement. The access would come off of Reed St and there would be a stormwater retention pond on the southside of the property. The general consensus of the Plan Commission was positive and for the applicant to submit a formal application for site plan review. 7.) Preliminary Plat Seeking Approval; Consideration of an amended preliminary plat for a 102-lot residential subdivision along Pleasant View Road (parcel 59271821084 & 59271821085) to be known as Scholar’s Ridge. Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation (enclosure) In April of 2025, the Plan Commission approved a preliminary plat for a 94- lot single family residential subdivision along Pleasant View Road by the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation (SCEDC). The Plan Commission also approved a two- lot CSM and rezone for a separate multi-family development on the southern side of the property to be undertaken by a separate developer. That development would have been separate from the SCEDC project. Presently, SCEDC has informed staff that the multi -family development is no longer being considered. As a result, SCEDC is proposing a new preliminary plat that adds 8 new residential lots to the subdivision, bringing the total number of residential lots from 94 to 102. Recall that a rezone petition for the southern property from R -4 Multi-Family Residential to R-5 Traditional Family Residential was approved by the Plan Commission and Common Council last month in order to have uniform zoning for this new, expanded area for the subdivision. Dave Biebel and TJ Crowns were present from SCEDC, along with Matthew Matt Boekenhauer from Abacus Architects. Motion was made by Schmitz/Schellin to approve the revised preliminary plat for a 102-lot residential subdivision along Pleasant View Road (parcel 59271821084 & 59271821085) to be known as Scholar’s Ridge, contingent on the following: • City engineer and consulting engineer administrative comments being addressed Upon the call of the roll, all voted aye.

Box 107 Plymouth, WI 53073-0107 Telephone: (920) 893-1271 Facsimile: (920) 893-0183 Web Site: plymouthgov.com DATE: May 21, 2026 TO: Mayor and Common Council FROM: Tim Blakeslee, City Administrator/Utilities Manager RE: Approval of Resolution No. 14 Authorizing the Issuance and Sale of not to Exceed $11,675,000 General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series 2026A Background: As part of the 2026-7 Capital Improvement Plan, the City intends to issue debt for the Grove Street Reconstruction (2026), City Park Rehabilitation (2026), Watermain Loop (2026), Well 18 Engineering (2026), Sanitary Force Main (2026), Fire Truck (2027), and a 2027 road project. Given the upcoming debt related capital project list is essentially set, the city is proposing to conduct the borrowing for 2026 and 2027 together to save the issuance costs to conduct a separate borrowing next year. Also, the 2026 and 2027 ATC capital calls are not included as a legal determination was made by bond counsel that they are ineligible for tax exempt financing. ATC capital calls will be discussed at a future meeting. Due to the complexities involved in municipal debt issuance, the City works with Ehlers, to provide necessary support. Ehlers' expertise will ensure the City secures favorable interest rates. Ehlers' expertise will ensure the City secures the necessary debt while achieving the most favorable interest rates. The proposed schedule is as follows: Develop Financing Plan Draft Financing Documents Obtain Governing Body Approvals Seek Credit Rating Market & Sell Bonds Coordinate Bond Closing Fulfill Post- Issuance Obligations Ehlers has prepared and will present a presale report at the Common Council meeting tonight. The full report is included as Attachment 1. The Series 2026 A issuance aligns with our strategic plan to finance key projects over the next several years. Important considerations include: • The City's current debt limit usage is ~16%, leaving 84% of capacity available (as of late- 2025). • Due to the successful closure of TID #4 two years ago , the City gain ed a levy limit adjustment of approximately $350,000 without increasing the taxpayer burden. This closure will continue to influence the mill rate related to debt in 2027, as only half of the closure’s impact is usable for levy limit adjustments. • Staff recommends leveraging the TID closure levy adjustment and claiming abated debt to support capital projects within the 2026 assessed mill rate. • The presale report contains preliminary debt schedules and estimated issuance amounts, though this will be finalized as the sale completes. • The presale report indicates the tax impact per household specific to this financing plan only; it does not predict the overall tax rate for 2027 . The objective remains a minimal overall tax levy increase tied to long-term capital projects, with exact details to be finalized during the 2027 budget preparations. • Initiating the funding process now positions the City advantageously for these critical projects. Recommendation: Approval of Resolution No 14. Authorizing the Issuance and Sale of not to Exceed $11,675,000 General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series 2025A Attachment: • Attachment 1 – Presale Report Series 2026A • Attachment 2 – Resolution No. 14 May 26, 2026 PRE - SALE REPORT FOR City of Plymouth, Wisconsin $11,675,000 General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series 2026A Prepared by: Ehlers N19W24400 Riverwood Drive, Suite 100 Waukesha, WI 53188 Advisors: Kayla Thorpe, Municipal Advisor Paul Boening, Senior Financial Specialist BUILDING COMMUNITIES. IT’S WHAT WE DO. Presale Report City of Plymouth, Wisconsin May 26, 2026 Page 1 Proposed Issue: $11,675,000 General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series 2026A Purposes: The proposed issue includes financing for the following purposes: To fund the City's 2026 and 2027 Capital Improvement Plan • Levy ( Grove Street, City Park, Fire Truck, & 2027 Road Projects ). Debt service will be paid from ad valorem property taxes. • Sewer ( Grove Street Utilities, Sanitary Force Main & 2027 Road Projects ). Debt service will be paid from Sewer Utility Revenues . • TID #9 ( Allocation of Watermain Loop, Well #18 & Sanitary Force Main) Debt service will be paid from tax increment revenues in TID #9 . • TID 10 ( Allocation of Sanitary Force Main ). Debt service will be paid from tax increment revenues in TID #10 . Water ( Grove Street Utilities, Allocation of Watermain Loop & Well #18, and 2027 Road Projects ). Debt service will be paid from Water Utility Revenues Authority: The Notes are being issued pursuant to Wisconsin Statute(s): • 67.12(12) The Notes will be general obligations of the City for which its full faith, credit and taxing powers are pledged. The Notes count against the City’s General Obligation Debt Capacity Limit of 5% of total City Equalized Valuation. Following issuance of the Notes, the City’s total General Obligation debt principal outstanding will be approximately $ 20,945,000 , which is 3 2 % of its limit. Remaining General Obligation Borrowing Capacity will be approximately $ 4 4,972,440. Term/Call Feature: The Notes are being issued for a term of 20 years. Principal on the Notes will be due on July 1 in the years 2027 through 2046. Interest will be due every six months beginning July 1, 2027. The Notes will be subject to prepayment at the discretion of the City on July 1, 2034 or any date thereafter. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF PROPOSED DEBT Presale Report City of Plymouth, Wisconsin May 26, 2026 Page 2 Bank Qualification: Because the City is expecting to issue no more than $10,000,000 in tax exempt debt during the calendar year, the City will be able to designate the Notes as “bank qualified” obligations. Bank qualified status broadens the market for the Notes, which can re sult in lower interest rates. Rating: The City’s most recent bond issues were rated by Moody’s Investors Service. The current rating on those bonds is “Aa2”. The City will request a new rating for the Notes. If the winning bidder on the Notes elects to purchase bond insurance, the rating for the issue may be higher than the City's bond rating in the event that the bond rating of the insurer is higher than that of the City. Basis for Recommendation: Based on your objectives, financial situation and need, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, experience with the issuance of Note s and long - term financial capacity, as well as the tax status considerations related to the Note s and the structure, timing and other similar matters related to the Note s, we are recommending the issuance of Note s as a suitable option . Ehlers has reviewed other reasonably feasible alternatives to the recommended issuance of municipal securities. Method of Sale/Placement: We are recommending the Notes be issued as municipal securities and offered through a competitive underwriting process. You will solicit competitive bids, which we will compile on your behalf, for the purchase of the Notes from underwriters and banks. An allowance for discount bidding will be incorporated in the terms of the issue. The discount is treated as an interest item and provides the underwriter with all or a portion of their compensation in the transaction. If the Notes are purchased at a price greater than the minimum bid amount (maximum discount), the unused allowance may be used to reduce your borrowing amount. Premium Pricing: In some cases, investors in municipal bonds prefer “premium” pricing structures. A premium is achieved when the coupon for any maturity (the interest rate paid by the issuer) exceeds the yield to the investor, resulting in a price paid that is greater than the face value of the bonds. The sum of the amounts paid in excess of face value is considered “reoffering premium.” For this issue of Notes, any premium amount received that is in excess of the underwriting discount and any capitalized interest amounts m ust be placed in the debt service Presale Report City of Plymouth, Wisconsin May 26, 2026 Page 3 fund and used to pay a portion of the interest payments due on the Notes. We anticipate using any premium amounts received to reduce the issue size. The amount of premium allowed can be restricted in the bid specifications. Restrictions on premium may result in fewer bids, but may also eliminate large adjustments on the day of sale and unintended results with respect to debt service payment impacts. Eh lers will identify appropriate premium restrictions for the Notes intended to achieve the City’s objectives for this financing. Parameters: The Common Council will consider adoption of a Parameters Resolution on May 26, 2026, which delegates authority to the Finance Manager or City Administrator to accept and approve a bid for the Notes so long as the bid meets certain parameters. These parameters are: * Issue size not to exceed $ 11,675,000 * Maximum Bid of 110.00 % * Minimum Bid of 98.75 % * Maximum True Interest Cost (TIC) of 5.00 % * Maturity Schedule Adjustments may increase by up to $490,000 or decrease by up to $180,000 per maturity for maturities in 2027 through 2046. Other Considerations: T he Notes will be offered with the option of the successful bidder utilizing a term bond structure. By offering underwriters the option to “term up” some of the maturities at the time of the sale, it gives them more flexibility in finding a market for your Notes . This makes your issue more marketable, which can result in lower borrowing costs. In the event that the successful bidder utilizes a term bond structure, we recommend the City retain a paying agent to handle responsibility for processing mandatory r edemption/call notices associated with term bonds. Review of Existing Debt: We have reviewed all outstanding indebtedness for the City and find that there are no refunding opportunities at this time. We will continue to monitor the market and the call dates for the City’s outstanding debt and will alert you to any future refunding opportunities. Presale Report City of Plymouth, Wisconsin May 26, 2026 Page 4 Continuing Disclosure: Because the City has more than $10,000,000 in outstanding debt subject to a continuing disclosure undertaking (including this issue) and this issue does not meet an available exemption from continuing disclosure, the City will be agreeing to provide certain updat ed Annual Financial Information and its Audited Financial Statement annually, as well as providing notices of the occurrence of certain reportable events to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”), as required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The City is already obligated to provide such reports for its existing bonds, and has contracted with Ehlers to prepare and file the reports. Arbitrage Monitoring: The City must ensure compliance with certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations (“Arbitrage Rules”) throughout the life of the issue to maintain the tax - exempt status of the Notes. These Arbitrage Rules apply to amounts held in construc tion, escrow, reserve, debt service account(s), etc., along with related investment income on each fund/account. IRS audits will verify compliance with rebate, yield restriction and records retention requirements within the Arbitrage Rules. The City’s specific arbitrage responsibilities will be detailed in the Tax Exemption Certificate (the “Tax Compliance Document”) prepared by your Bond Attorney and provided at closing. The Notes may qualify for one or more exception(s) to the Arbitrage Rules by meeting 1) small issuer exception, 2) spend down requirements, 3) bona fide debt service fund limits, 4) reasonable reserve requirements, 5) expenditure within an available period limitations, 6) investments yield restrictions, 7) de minimis rules, or; 8) borrower limited requirements. An Ehlers arbitrage expert will contact the City within 30 days after the sale date to review the City’s specific responsibilities for the Notes. The City is currently receiving arbitrage services from Ehlers in relation to the Notes. Investment of Note Proceeds: Ehlers can assist the City in developing a strategy to invest your Note proceeds until the funds are needed to pay project costs . Risk Factors: G.O. with Planned Abatement: The issuer is abating all or a portion of G.O. debt service payments for the issue with tax incremental revenue s from TIDs 9 & 10 , water utility revenues, and sewer utility revenues . In the event this/these revenue s are not available, the City is obligated to levy property taxes in an amount sufficient to make all debt payments. Presale Report City of Plymouth, Wisconsin May 26, 2026 Page 5 Other Service Providers: This debt issuance will require the engagement of other public finance service providers. This section identifies those other service providers, so Ehlers can coordinate their engagement on your behalf. Where you have previously used a particular firm to p rovide a service, we have assumed that you will continue that relationship. For services you have not previously required, we have identified a service provider. Fees charged by these service providers will be paid from proceeds of the obligation, unless y ou notify us that you wish to pay them from other sources. Our pre - sale bond sizing includes a good faith estimate of these fees, but the final fees may vary. If you have any questions pertaining to the identified service providers or their role, or if you would like to use a different service provider for any of the listed services please contact us.

For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Notes as the same becomes due, the full faith, credit and resources of the City are hereby irrevocably pledged, and there is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property of the City a direct annual irrepealable tax in the years 2026 through 2045 for the payments due in the years 2027 through 2046 in the amounts as are sufficient to meet the principal and interest payments when due. (B) Tax Collection. So long as any part of the principal of or interest on the Notes remains unpaid, the City shall be and continue without power to repeal such levy or obstruct the collection of said tax until all such payments have been made or provided for. After the issuance of the Notes, said tax shall be, from year to year, carried onto the tax roll of the City and collected in addition to all other taxes and in the same manner and at the same time as other taxes of the City for said years are collected, except that the amount of tax carried onto the tax roll may be reduced in any year by the amount of any surplus money in the Debt Service Fund Account created below.

If at any time there shall be on hand insufficient funds from the aforesaid tax levy to meet principal and/or interest payments on said Notes when due, the requisite amounts shall be paid from other funds of the City then available, which sums shall be replaced upon the collection of the taxes herein levied. Section 6. Segregated Debt Service Fund Account. (A) Creation and Deposits. There shall be and there hereby is established in the treasury of the City, if one has not already been created, a debt service fund, separate and distinct from every other fund, which shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Debt service or sinking funds established for obligations previously issued by the City may be considered as separate and distinct accounts within the debt service fund. Within the debt service fund, there hereby is established a separate and distinct account designated as the "Debt Service Fund Account for General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series 2026A" (the "Debt Service Fund Account") and such account shall be maintained until the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is fully paid or otherwise extinguished. There shall be deposited into the Debt Service Fund Account (i) all accrued interest received by the City at the time of delivery of and payment for the Notes; (ii) any premium which may be received by the City above the par value of the Notes and accrued interest thereon; (iii) all money raised by the taxes herein levied and any amounts appropriated for the specific purpose of meeting principal of and interest on the Notes when due; (iv) such other sums as may be necessary at any time to pay principal of and interest on the Notes when due; (v) surplus monies in the Borrowed Money QB\102561843.1 -4- Fund as specified below; and (vi) such further deposits as may be required by Section 67.11, Wisconsin Statutes. (B) Use and Investment. No money shall be withdrawn from the Debt Service Fund Account and appropriated for any purpose other than the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes until all such principal and interest has been paid in full and the Notes canceled; provided (i) the funds to provide for each payment of principal of and interest on the Notes prior to the scheduled receipt of taxes from the next succeeding tax collection may be invested in direct obligations of the United States of America maturing in time to make such payments when they are due or in other investments permitted by law; and (ii) any funds over and above the amount of such principal and interest payments on the Notes may be used to reduce the next succeeding tax levy, or may, at the option of the City, be invested by purchasing the Notes as permitted by and subject to Section 67.11(2)(a), Wisconsin Statutes, or in permitted municipal investments under the pertinent provisions of the Wisconsin Statutes ("Permitted Investments"), which investments shall continue to be a part of the Debt Service Fund Account.

The City further covenants that it will not take any action, omit to take any action or permit the taking or omission of any action within its control (including, without limitation, making or permitting any use of the proceeds of the Notes) if taking, permitting or omitting to take such action would cause any of the Notes to be an arbitrage bond or a private activity bond within the meaning of the Code or would otherwise cause interest on the Notes to be included in the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes.

Box 107 Plymouth, WI 53073-0107 Telephone: (920) 893-3745 Facsimile: (920) 893-0183 Web Site: plymouthgov.com DATE: May 19, 2026 TO: Mayor and Common Council FROM: Cathy Austin, PE, Director of Public Works RE: New Raw Sewage Pumps and Force Main Project Mead & Hunt has submitted a proposal to provide detailed engineering services for improvements to the Plymouth Wastewater Treatment Plant influent pumping system and force main. The proposed work is intended to address aging infrastructure and provide capacity improvements needed to accommodate future growth identified in the City’s sanitary sewer study and ongoing wastewater facility planning efforts. The proposal outlines the design of a new 1,400- linear-foot influent force main and upgrades to the existing raw sewage pumps at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The current pumps were installed in 1992 and the existing 16-inch ductile iron force main was originally constructed in 1976. The existing system is no longer capable of reliably achieving the plant’s rated peak flow capacity due to age-related deterioration and size restrictions within the existing force main. The engineering services proposed by Mead & Hunt include project management, field investigations, utility locating, geotechnical analysis, site survey work, preparation of a preliminary design report, detailed engineering design, permitting coordination with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, preparation of construction cost estimates and schedules, and bidding services. The proposal also includes geotechnical investigations and feasibility analysis for horizontal directional drilling near the Mullet River crossing. As part of the project, Mead & Hunt will evaluate two potential force main routing alternatives, including a route generally following the existing force main and an alternate route around the west side of the treatment plant property. 2 | Page The final deliverables will include bid-ready plans and specifications, construction cost estimates, a preliminary construction schedule, Wisconsin DNR permit applications, and bidding support services. Mead & Hunt anticipates beginning work within two weeks of authorization to proceed. The proposed fee for the engineering services is a time-and-materials not-to-exceed amount of $243,900. The project is split 53% for TID#9, 23% TID#10, 23% Sewer fund and paid for via the 2026A GO Notes. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Mead & Hunt proposal for detailed engineering services for the influent force main improvements at the Plymouth Wastewater Treatment Plant. Mead & Hunt, Inc. | 6737 West Washington Street, Suite 3500, Milwaukee, WI 53214 | 414-291-8840 | meadhunt.com April 1, 2026 Ms. Cathy Austin, PE Director of Public Works & City Engineer City of Plymouth 900 CTH PP – P.O. Box 277 Plymouth, WI 53073 Subject: Proposal for Detailed Engineering for New Raw Sewage Pumps and Force Main Plymouth, Wisconsin | Plymouth Wastewater Treatment Plant Mead & Hunt Proposal No. M4666757-252659.01 Dear Ms. Austin, Mead and Hunt, Inc. (Mead & Hunt) is submitting this proposal to the City of Plymouth, Wisconsin (Plymouth), to provide detailed engineering for the addition of a new raw sewage force main and upgrade of the raw sewage pumps for Plymouth’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). This proposal is based on a verbal request for proposal from Plymouth made to Jon Butt of Mead & Hunt on January 28, 2026. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Plymouth owns and operates a WWTP that serves its customers within the City of Plymouth. Effluent from the WWTP is discharged to the Mullet River in the Mullet River watershed, which is part of the Sheboygan River basin. The WWTP’s effluent is regulated by Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) Permit No. WI-0030031-08-0. The permit is effective from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2028. A sanitary sewer study for Plymouth was completed by Kapur and Associates in May 2024. The study’s purpose was to assess the current sanitary sewer infrastructure at locations likely to be developed into future residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The study estimated the WWTP could receive an additional 5.14 MGD of flow after seven areas are developed. In response to the May 2024 study findings, Plymouth contracted Mead & Hunt on October 11, 2024, to evaluate the current WWTP capacity and identify needed future capital improvements. The evaluation, conducted during late 2024 and subsequently presented to Plymouth, concluded that the fine screen, raw sewage pumping, and final effluent filtration systems were the unit processes most limiting the WWTP’s design capacity at that time. Ms. Cathy Austin, PE April 1, 2026 Page 2 X:\M4666757-252659.01 - Plymouth Influent Force Main Proposal.docx © 2026 Mead & Hunt, Inc. | Proposal Letter 01-2025 The raw sewage pumping system consists of five centrifugal pumps, each with a nameplate capacity of 1,250 gallons per minute (gpm). Mead & Hunt understands the pumps were last replaced in 1992 and are past their useful operating lives. Wastewater is conveyed from the raw sewage pumps to the primary splitter box through a 1,400-foot-long, 16-inch-diameter ductile-iron force main originally built in 1976. During discussions with WWTP staff, it was noted that only 5-6 MGD of flow could be produced with all five pumps running at full capacity. It should be noted that the Plymouth WWTP is rated for a peak flow of 7.2 MGD. Being unable to meet the peak design flow suggests the inside diameter of the force main has decreased over time due to buildup and tuberculation, leading to more restricted flow and increased pressure losses. This proposal describes the detailed engineering services required to add 1,400 LF of raw sewage force main and upgrade the raw sewage pumps to handle both current capacity and future capacity, as indicated in the new facility plan. To complete this project, we assume it will be completed concurrently with the Facility Plan project, currently under contract with Mead & Hunt. The new facility plan will establish the 20-year future wastewater flows and loadings that will serve as the design basis for the new raw sewage force main and pumps. Mead & Hunt has also included an analysis of two potential force main routes in this proposal. The first route would closely follow the existing force main path, while the proposed alternative route would travel around the west side of the WWTP. An aerial plan of the two potential force main routes is shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1 | Potential Force Main Routes Ms. Cathy Austin, PE April 1, 2026 Page 3 X:\M4666757-252659.01 - Plymouth Influent Force Main Proposal.docx © 2026 Mead & Hunt, Inc. | Proposal Letter 01-2025 PROJECT APPROACH Development of the detailed design will be divided into core tasks as detailed in the Scope of Services, led by Mead & Hunt’s Project Manager, and planned and coordinated with Plymouth. Mead & Hunt’s Project Manager will be responsible for verifying that project details are addressed, resources are allocated, schedule milestones are met, and the budget is maintained throughout the project cycle. Project Manager and Staff Coordination A key to a successful project is assigning a Project Manager with authority and responsibility to control project aspects. Mead & Hunt’s Project Manager will be the primary contact for project decisions and communications and will coordinate our team members' activities with Plymouth throughout the project.
