NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
FOR THE FACILITY PLAN FOR THE WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
Sioux Falls, South Dakota: The City of Sioux Falls is proposing the Water Reclamation Facility Expansion Improvements project to increase capacity and improve the existing infrastructure at the Water Reclamation Facility.
The City of Sioux Falls Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) was constructed in phases beginning in 1980, with the final phase completed in 1986. The original facility was designed to accommodate an average daily flow of 13.4 MGD and a peak instantaneous flow of 27 MGD. As part of the 2009 Water Reclamation Facility Master Plan, the capacity of the facility was re-rated with an increase to 21 MGD average flow and 35 MGD peak equalized flow. With future growth of the city, the projected needs for the future of the facility are 30.1 MGD average daily flow and 57 MGD peak flow. In 2018, the Sioux Falls Wastewater Treatment and Collection System Master Plan was completed, which presented a review of the existing collection system and WRF capacities, complete with a recommended phased capital improvements plan. The plan reflects the timing for the following needs: 1) provide reliability due to age and condition and avert risk for failure for the WRF and select lift stations; 2) increase existing and hydraulic capacity for growth for the WRF, collections systems, and lift stations; 3) increase organic capacity for growth at the WRF; 4) meet future growth needs; and 5) improve treatment operations. The WRF currently utilizes four primary clarifiers for the removal of total suspended solids, oil, and grease, reducing the demand for BOD5 in the secondary treatment process. The existing primary clarifiers have been in operation since the early 1980s, and their mechanical equipment is nearing end of life and has been recommended for replacement in the 2018 Master Plan. This public meeting is to inform the public of the project and the intent to submit the project facility plan for the multiple primary clarifier replacement.
The City of Sioux Falls is seeking to borrow up to $51,900,000 from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund for 20 years at a 3.5 percent interest rate for the WRF expansion.
The purpose of the public meeting is to discuss the proposed project list, the proposed financing, and the source of repayment for the loan. The public is invited to attend and comment on the project. Anyone unable to attend may submit written comments prior to the meeting to Shannon Ausen, P.E., Engineering Program Manager, 231 N. Dakota Ave., P.O. Box 7402, Sioux Falls, SD 57117-7402, or email at shannon.ausen@siouxfalls.gov.
The public meeting will be held at Sioux Falls City Center, 231 N. Dakota Ave., Conference Room #110 on the first floor, Sioux Falls, SD, on Monday, March 2, at 5 p.m.

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SD:
WHEREAS, the City currently operates a wastewater system and has determined that improvements to the wastewater facilities are necessary and qualify as an improvement, extension, or addition to its wastewater system; and
WHEREAS, the City of Sioux Falls (the “City”) is authorized by its City Charter (the “City Charter”) and by Chapters 9-40 and 6-8B of the South Dakota Codified Laws to issue wastewater system revenue bonds to finance the acquisition of capital improvements to its wastewater system in anticipation of the collection of wastewater system revenues; and
WHEREAS, the City is authorized by its City Charter and Chapter 9-48 of the South Dakota Codified Laws (“SDCL Chapter 9-48”) to establish just and equitable rates of charges to be paid to such City for the use of the wastewater system of the City, directly or indirectly; and the City has adopted and enacted City of Sioux Falls Ordinance No. 43-23 pursuant to its City Charter and SDCL Chapter 9-48 which ordinance establishes charges for the use of the wastewater system of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the improvements described in Exhibit A (the “Project”) are necessary for the conduct of the City’s operation of its governmental programs and qualify under its City Charter and Chapter 6-8B of the South Dakota Codified Laws (“Chapter 6-8B”) as improvements that may be financed through the issuance of the Bond; and
WHEREAS, the South Dakota Conservancy District (the “District”) has established the South Dakota State Revolving Fund Loan Program pursuant to SDCL 46A-1-49 (the “Program”) whereby participating public entities, by issuing their bonds to the District, may acquire necessary improvements and reduce the interest and issuance costs of the public entities below what could be achieved if the improvements to be acquired by each public entity individually were to be financed and acquired separately; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to finance $17,746,000 of the costs of the Project through a loan from the Program under the terms of a loan agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Loan Agreement”), such loan to be evidenced by a Wastewater System Revenue Bond, Series 2026A, in the amount of $17,746,000 (the “Bond”); and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the City to participate in the Program, to authorize the borrowing of funds from the District for the financing of the Project by authorizing and issuing its Wastewater System Revenue Bond to the District with the terms approved hereby for an aggregate sum not in excess of $17,746,000 and to pledge the net revenues of the City’s wastewater system as security for the repayment of such Bond;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SD, THAT:
Section 1. Findings.
(a) The City desires and hereby determines it is necessary to improve its wastewater facilities by undertaking the Project. The City hereby expressly finds that if the Project is not undertaken, certain deficiencies in the wastewater system will pose a health hazard to the City and its inhabitants who are served by the City’s wastewater system. Because of the functional interdependence of the various portions of the wastewater system and the nature of the improvements financed, the City hereby determines that the Project will substantially benefit the entire wastewater system and all of its users within the meaning of SDCL 9-40-15 and SDCL 9-40-17. Therefore, the City hereby determines that for the purposes of the Act, including, in particular, SDCL 9-40-17, the net income or revenues of the entire wastewater system, as extended, added to, or improved by the Project shall be deemed to be the net income or revenues available to be pledged to the payment of the Bond issued hereunder.
(b) The City finds that it is desirable and expedient to participate in the Program and to authorize and deliver the Loan Agreement and to authorize, issue, and sell the Bond to the District as provided herein and in the Loan Agreement.
Section 2. Authorization. The Loan Agreement and the issuance of the Bond are hereby authorized and approved, with said Bond to be issued on a parity basis, in the aggregate principal amount not in excess of the $17,746,000 with the terms and subject to the provisions as set forth in the Loan Agreement. It is further authorized and approved to secure the repayment of the Bond with a pledge of the wastewater system revenue, as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
Section 3. Execution of Documents. In connection with the authorization, issuance, and delivery of the Bond, the Mayor, City Clerk, Finance Director, City Attorney, and other officers of the City shall be authorized to enter into, execute, and deliver the following documents, instruments, and agreements as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by such officers and the District, consistent with the terms of this ordinance:
(A) The Loan Agreement providing for the issuance of the Bond and setting forth the terms thereof;
(B) The Bond; and
(C) Such other documents, agreements, or instruments as may be necessary to make covenants and recite facts required to demonstrate the validity and enforceability of the Bond under the laws of the state of South Dakota and to assure the exclusion of the interest thereon from the gross income of the owner of the Bond under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to effectuate the terms and intent of this ordinance.
The execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, the Bond, and all such other agreements, documents, and instruments as necessary and appropriate are hereby authorized, all of which to be in substantially the form on file with the City on the date hereof and with such necessary and appropriate variations, omissions, and insertions as are consistent with the terms of this ordinance as determined by the Mayor in consultation with the City Attorney.
Execution and delivery of such documents by the Mayor, Finance Director, and/or City Attorney shall constitute evidence that such documents are consistent with the terms of this ordinance and the items have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the City and are enforceable against the City in accordance with their terms, subject to customary exceptions relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, and other laws affecting creditors’ rights. The Mayor, Finance Director, and the City Attorney are further authorized to take such other actions as may be required to effectuate the terms and intent of this ordinance.
Section 4. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this ordinance, the Loan Agreement, or the Bond authorized hereby shall for any reason be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this ordinance, the Loan Agreement, or the Bond, but this ordinance, the Loan Agreement, or the Bond shall be construed as if such illegal or invalid provision had not been contained therein.
Section 5. Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent. All acts, conditions, and things required by the laws of the state of South Dakota, relating to the adoption of this ordinance, to the issuance of the Bond, and to the execution of the Loan Agreement and the other documents referred to above shall be satisfied prior to the issuance of the Bond. The designated officers are hereby authorized to do all acts and things required by them under this ordinance, the Loan Agreement, and the other documents referred to above for the full, punctual, and complete performance of all the terms, covenants, and agreements contained in the Bond, the Loan Agreement, the other documents referred to above, and this ordinance.
Section 6. Publication and Effective Date. After passage, this ordinance (except for Exhibit B hereto, which is on file and available for inspection in the offices of the City Clerk) shall be published in the City’s officially-designated newspaper and will be effective on the 20th day following such publication, unless suspended by referendum in accordance with Chapter 9-20 of the South Dakota Codified Laws. After becoming effective, this ordinance will be irrepealable until the Bond issued hereunder has been paid in full, except that prior to issuance of the Bond, this ordinance may be amended in accordance with South Dakota law.
Section 7. Prior Resolutions. All prior resolutions or ordinances that conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.

4. who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the U.S.T.R. or
5. whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country on such U.S.T.R. list; or
6. who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such U.S.T.R. list.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
The Offeror agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this provision for certification without modification in all lower tier subcontracts. The Contractor may rely on the certification of a prospective subcontractor that it is not a firm from a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by USTR, unless the Offeror has knowledge that the certification is erroneous.
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the Owner cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA.
Civil Rights - Title VI Assurances. The Sioux Falls Regional Airport Authority, in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 252, 42 USC. §§ 2000d to 2000d-4) and the Regulations, hereby notifies all bidders or offerors that it will affirmatively ensure that for any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement, business enterprises will be afforded full and fair opportunity to submit bids in response to this invitation and no business will be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, or national origin (including limited English proficiency), creed, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), age, or disability in consideration for an award.
Notice of Requirement for Affirmative Action to Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity
1. The Offeror’s or Bidder’s attention is called to the “Equal Opportunity Clause” and the “Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications” set forth herein.
2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the contractor’s aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows:
Timetables
Goals for minority participation for each trade: 0%
Goals for female participation in each trade: 0%
These goals are applicable to all of the contractor’s construction work (whether or not it is Federal or federally-assisted) performed in the covered area. If the contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and non-federally involved construction.
The Contractor’s compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor’s goals shall be a violation of the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address, and telephone number of the subcontractor; employer identification number of the subcontractor; estimated dollar amount of the subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical area in which the subcontract is to be performed.
As used in this notice and in the contract resulting from this solicitation, the “covered area” is Minnehaha County, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Federal Funding. The award of the contract is subject to approval of the Federal Aviation Administration and availability of federal funding. See instruction to bidders for additional information.
Any questions regarding bids are to be directed to:
