City ups AMPI bond issue to $3 milllion
The Abbotsford City Council, at a June 8 meeting, approved a $500,000 addition to a March resolution calling for $2.5 million in industrial revenue bonds to finance expansion of AMPI’s local plant.
According to AMPI spokesman John St. Peter, the original $2.5 million bond issue, approved March 2, would not cover the actual cost of plant expansion, which turned out to be higher than anticipated.
Actual bids for the AMPI improve ments came to approximately $2.4 million. St. Peter said that, figuring in the closing costs of underwriters and consultants, the actual cost would go over that projected $2.5 million mark.
Why was the original estimate too low? St. Peter said that designers were uncertain in March about whether they would install an “ultra-filtration osmosis” system or an evaporation system. He said they eventually opted for the most expensive evaporation system, necessitating the request for more bonding.
The orignal plans called for a 2,300 foot expansion on the northeast end of the the plant an estimated cost of $600,000; $200,000 in bonding and engneering fees, and $1,700,000 for new equipment. Presumably, most of the extra $500,000 will cover the equipment portion of the payments.
AMPI is securing the bonds through the city, which means a better interest rate. The city assumes no responsibility for the transaction, however. AMPI is the sole borrower and has sole responsibility for repayment.
