SEWER & WATER - ACTION ITEMS
1. Atlantic County Department of Public Works Sanitary Sewer and Water Service Request (11-50111):
We have attached a copy of a letter dated August 24, 2006 from Glen Mawby, Directory of Facilities Management for the County. They are requesting water and sanitary sewer service for their Public Works facility on Egg Harbor Road. At the time the NJDEP permit was issued to the Town for the water main extension project, it was conditioned that no new conditions be allowed under the permit and the installation of the water main line be allowed for interconnection purposes only. Due to the notice contained in the County’s letter relating to the condition of their existing well we would request Council’s approval to direct a letter to the NJDEP to allow for this water service connection during the water main construction process. The anticipated water use for the feasibility would be approximately 600 gpd or an equivalent of 2 edu’s. At the same time, the County is also requesting sanitary sewer connection to the Town’s system which extends along their westerly property line. Since the County has been cooperative in granting the Town an easement across their property for water main installation and have also waived the roadway opening permit fee to the Town on this and prior applications, we are suggesting the Town waive the water and sanitary sewer connection fees with their utility service request. The connection fee waiver would be as follows:
Sanitary Sewer Service - $4,000.00
Water Service - $3,000.00
Action Requested:
1. Authorize the Engineer to direct a letter to the NJDEP allowing the water service connection for the Atlantic County Public Works Facility.
2. Authorize the waiver for the payment of both the water and sanitary sewer connection fees to the Town for the Atlantic County Public Works Complex on Egg Harbor Road.
2. MRE Fire Service Connection (11-20207):
We had a recent request from Mr. Mario Massarelli of MRE-LLC to install a fire service connection to their new building at their facility located on Egg Harbor Road. The fire service connection would be located approximately 300 feet east of the Park Avenue intersection. The installation would require an open cut across the existing roadway surface which falls within the Phase II section of the County’s Roadway Resurfacing project. Upon checking with the County Engineer’s office, they advised that if this fire service line is to be installed it must be completed immediately. We would recommend Council’s approval of the fire service line installation subject to compliance with the following conditions.
1. The request for the County roadway opening permit, fire service lateral installation and roadway restoration standards must all be completed by the applicant at their own expense to the satisfaction of the County.
2. The work must be completed in a time frame agreeable with the County so as to not cause any disruption to their present roadway resurfacing schedule.
3. The applicant must provide a letter to the Town from their fire service underwriter indicating the size and location of the fire service line required to service their new building.
4. All work must be completed in a manner acceptable to the County, the Town and the Water Superintendent.
5. The work shall be completed at no cost to the Town with the applicant responsible to pay all applicable fees to the County and Town.
Action Requested:
Approval of the request for the installation of a fire service line for the property in question subject to compliance with the conditions noted above.
PUBLIC WORKS - ACTION ITEMS
3. 2005 Road Program (11-40023):
The Project and punchlist items have been substantially completed by the Contractor. Final Payment is on this month’s bill list for review and approval by Mayor and Council. Any approval should be contingent upon the Contractor providing an acceptable Maintenance Guaranty. Therefore, payment may be approved, but not released until an acceptable Guaranty has been supplied.
Action Requested:
1. Approve Final Payment to the Contractor, Asphalt Paving Systems which constitutes an overall deduction to the Contract in the amount of $52,086.00. This approval shall be contingent upon the Contractor providing an approved Maintenance Guaranty for the project.
2. If and only if #1 above is approved, the Town may release the Performance Bond (#6343453) currently held by the Contractor. Again, this is contingent upon the Contractor providing an approved Maintenance Guaranty.
4. Transportation Enhancements, Bellevue Ave-12th Street Improvements (11-40011):
We have been notified by the Downtown Advocate and confirmed with the NJDOT that this project may be approved for Construction by the FHWA within the next 30 to 60 days. A letter from the Mayor has been provided to the NJDOT requesting advance construction approval with the understanding that the Municipality will fund the project from its inception, and will be reimbursed through the NJDOT/FHWA once the federal funds are officially allocated.
We have been requested by Mayor and Council to provide the Municipality with a proposal to complete Construction Management and Inspection services for this project in order to keep the process moving in case a formal project approval and authorization is obtained by the NJDOT and Federal Highway between meetings. Therefore we have included within this package Proposal #06-0486 for the required services for Council’s consideration. We have also been in contact with the Town Auditor to obtain his findings regarding the overall availability of project funding and are awaiting his response prior to completing the plans and specifications for bid.
Action Requested:
Approval of ARH Proposal #06-0486 in the amount of $65,360.00, subject to the availability of funds.
5. Downtown Parking Areas (11-01000-92):
The Mayor, Downtown Advocate, and the Main Street Hammonton Coordinator have been researching the feasibility of constructing Municipally owned parking areas adjacent to the rear of buildings fronting both Bellevue Avenue and 12th Street. They have been in contact with a number of the individual property owners along the route and gained a general consensus for this project. Therefore, they have requested ARH provide the Council with a proposal to complete a field survey, the preliminary concept designs, and environmental assessments of the affected areas. We have prepared a proposal which has been split into two principal areas, those lots contained within block 2802 as well as block 2522 and 2525. We would request that Council approve our proposal (ARH# 06-0512) in the capacity that best suits the Municipality’s needs. We have structured the proposal such that it can be awarded in its entirety or any portion thereof. The scope of our services will be guided by Council’s decision and direction.
Action Requested:
Approval of ARH Proposal #06-0512 in the scope as determined by Mayor and Town Council subject to the availability of funds.
6. Boyer Avenue Recreation (11-50099):
Phase II
Construction:
At this juncture the majority of the outstanding work relates to the ongoing maintenance of the fields. There are punch list items that will be addressed by the Contractor. The fall seeding season is upon us and the Contractor will be completing a second seeding application. A final inspection, including a walk thru with the Recreation Committee, will be taking place once work is complete.
Funding
Atlantic County Recreation & Open Space Grant:
The Town has a $60,000.00 grant that was previously allotted by the County for use on the Boyer Avenue site. In an effort to receive these funds the Town must sign an agreement with the Atlantic County Open Space Trust. Additionally a resolution authorizing the execution of the agreement needs to be adopted, a sample resolution has been attached to this report. It should be noted the $60,000.00 was previously earmarked for the phase II activities. Now that the construction is nearing completion, reimbursement from the County can take place.
Action Requested:
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the execution of the agreement to request the $60,000.00 reimbursement of monies expended.
7. Atlantic County Recreation & Open Space Round 8 (11-01070):
The County has announced the request for filing of applications for the eighth funding cycle. Applications once again this year are only for property acquisition. Our office met with representatives of the Park Commission on Thursday, September 14, 2006 and discussed potential properties to put in this year’s application. Based on the discussion and the County’s deadline of October 11, 2006; we’ve provided a proposal to complete the required work for Council’s consideration, which is attached to this report. Additionally we’ve provided a sample resolution, which would allow the mayor and/or the appropriate Town official to sign the application.
Action Requested:
1. Authorize ARH proposal #06-0459 in the amount of $4500.00 to complete the application for Round 8 funding consideration.
2. Adopt a resolution authorizing the execution of the application by the Town Officials.
SEWER & WATER INFORMATION ITEMS
8. Egg Harbor Road Utility Extension Phase II and IIA (11-50111):
A preconstruction Meeting was held for this project on September 11, 2006. The Contractor and pertinent individuals were in attendance. While awaiting shop drawings for the project, a Notice to Proceed will be issued commencing the contract. The start date is anticipated for October 2. We will keep Council appraised of work progress.
9. Central Avenue Water Main Extension (11-30130):
A preconstruction Meeting was held for this project on August 30, 2006. The Contractor and pertinent individuals were in attendance. A Notice to Proceed has been issued to begin the Contract on or before October 2, 2006. We have also been in contact with Atlantic County, HPD Chief, and Gas Company regarding this Contract. We will keep Council apprised of work progress.
10. Elm & Cottage Sewer Replacement (11-50125):
The Contractor has substantially completed the Project and has Payment #1 on this month’s Bill List. Once as-built plans and a Maintenance Guaranty have been provided, we will request Final Payment and closeout of the project. This is anticipated for the October meeting of Mayor and Council.
11. Well #7 (11-30131):
As previously reported, the Sub-Committee met on several occasions regarding the draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) submitted by SJG for review on May 16, 2006. A letter stipulating the Town’s concerns was sent to SJG representatives on August 3, 2006. On September 12, 2006, the Sub-Committee and Representatives again met to review the latest issues. There is progress made on the alternatives that are available to SJG and the Town. The goal is to promote a situation that is mutually beneficial to the parties. Following the meeting, SJG Representatives were to review the current issues and provide their feedback. We expect to hear from SJG Representatives prior to the meeting.
12. Water Allocation (11-30088):
Firm Source Calculation
Prior to the last meeting, we reconciled with the NJDEP regarding firm source and monthly allocation. We reported that a slight discrepancy as it relates to the annual diversion calculation appeared to exist. NJDEP remains firm in their calculation regarding the degree of the exceedence in this category. Notwithstanding the annual exceedence, we appealed to the NJDEP with regard to a project that can be serviced under the firm source and monthly calculation, but not under the annual category. We are awaiting a formal response from NJDEP on this last project. All other projects following this last application will be denied until the efforts as authorized earlier (increase in monthly/annual diversion and increase in firm source) can be approved by the NJDEP.
Major Modification Application:
As a reminder, ARH was authorized to initiate the request for an increase in the monthly allocation from 77.5 MG to approximately 113 MG which can possibly be achieved by operating our wells within the range of 14 to 16 hours per day. Additionally, our application would include a request to increase to the annual allocation of 603 MG to some projected factor that parallels the monthly request for increase.
The well search required from NJDEP has been requested and will serve as the basis of our report that needs to be filed. NJDEP originally reported that due to a backlog, the release of the well search information would not be available for several months. We convinced the NJDEP of the urgency of this matter and they consented to provide the information within a few weeks time period. We are awaiting this report before proceeding further in the analysis.
It is reminded that subsequent to the filing of the impact report, we will need to perform certain testing on the existing wells that will assure the NJDEP of our ability to meet the desired increase in diversion for each of the wells.
A impact report can only be filed once the well search data from the State is received. Obviously, this matter is critical to the Town’s ability to accommodate future development plans.
Minor Modification Application:
As a reminder, we incorporated in the documentation to NJDEP an application for an increase to the firm source capacity limitation by requesting the construction of a standby well at Well #5 located on 14th Street resulting in a net increase of 500 gpm in firm source capacity. An increase of 500 gpm will allow for approximately 720 EDU’s. This report will be incorporated into the submission to be filed with NJDEP in the above referenced timeframe.
13. NJDEP Surface Water Permit (11-50047):
During the past month, the Sub-Committee and TRC Omni, who was authorized to assist on the appeal of the final NJDEP Discharge to Surface Permit, met to discuss the current status of the study and the appeal. Inclusive in the appeal was the authorization for TRC Omni to perform a study of the Hammonton Creek in an attempt to overcome the stringent lead and phosphorus requirements that were incorporated in the new permit. Following our strategy meeting, the Solicitor contacted the NJDEP Deputy General Attorney and achieved a postponement since the stream studies did not reach conclusion and it was agreed that a hearing would be premature at this point. As previously reported, the NJDEP is contemplating a modification to recently promulgated regulations that would affect our appeal. The postponement of the hearing will also allow for additional time for the change in the regulation which may have a positive impact on the current appeal.
A conference with representatives of NJDEP, Pinelands, Deputy Attorney General and Hammonton Representatives is proposed for October 3, 2006. The conference is intended to provide updates on the stream study and further discuss the elements within the appeal with attempts to avoid a hearing if possible.
14. Old Forks Road Sanitary Sewer Service (11-01000-81):
The draft of the revised agreement was provided to the Solicitor for final configuration before the execution by the Triad and Town Officials.
15. Home Depot Water and Sanitary Sewer Service (11-20194):
We will be meeting with the Sewer and Water Committee between now and the next Council meeting along with representatives from Home Depot related to their plans for water service and sanitary sewer extension for the project. If they receive a favorable review from the Committee, we would request that the applicant make a formal presentation before the Mayor and Council at the October Council meeting.
16. Well #4 Window and Door Replacement (Proposal #06-0482):
We have discussed this project with the Sewer and Water Committee and they are presently reviewing various options related to this work that would save the Town money while still completing the objective to upgrade and increase the facility’s safety. The Committee will update the Council on their findings and recommendations for consideration. Therefore, the ARH proposal dated September 5, 2006 is withdrawn at this time.
PUBLIC WORKS - INFORMATION ITEMS
17. Pleasant Street Reconstruction State Aid (11-40017):75001):
A preconstruction meeting was held with the contractor on September 11, 2006. Various items related to the project were discussed. A Notice to Proceed was issued for the project subject to NJDOT approval of the documents. The work associated with the sanitary sewer installation should begin in early October with the remaining drainage, curb, sidewalk and roadway work to follow. A meeting has been scheduled with the Shade Tree Commission to review the trees scheduled for removal. We also met with the representatives from St. Joseph School to review their traffic concerns and children pick-up locations and schedule so as to cause as little disturbance as possible to the school operation.
G-Boys Excavating will shortly begin the water main installation work between Horton and Third Street ahead of the Mount Construction contract. We will be completing the NJDOT forms for the request for initial funding reimbursement.
18. Recreation & Open Space Master Plan ANJEC Grant (11-75001):
A meeting was held on Thursday, September 14, 2006 with representative from the Park Commission. The meeting was geared towards the introduction of the project to members of the Park Commission. At this time the project is in preliminary stages, and we will be looking to progress through the project with participation from the Parks Commission, Environmental Commission and Council. At this time we’ve provided a questionnaire to get a feel for the Town’s goals as relates to recreation and open space. Participation with items like the questionnaire will be vital to producing a master plan that conforms to the desires of the Town. The Environmental Commission is also in the process of preparing a news release regarding this project, as required.
19. New Town Hall and Historic Town Hall Building Relocation (11-01060):
Bidding:
The site plans are ready for bidding purposes. In July, our office completed the specifications for the site work, and transferred the specification documents to the Architect for bidding. It is our understanding that the Project Clerk of the Works/Construction manager is presently in receipt and reviewing the bid documents prior to advertisement.
USRD Funding Application:
The funding negotiations have been delegated to the Project Counsel. ARH facilitated the submission of bidding documents to assure that the USRD reviewed and approved the plans and specifications prior to bid. Their pre-approval is necessary in the event the Town decides to use this program as opposed to conventional financing. The Town is eligible for a $7.0 million loan from USRD. There is no obligation towards this loan until such time as the Town moves towards closing. Closing cannot occur until after the project is completed. The loan program is a 30 year term at 4.5% interest.
20. Kramer Beverage Retention Basin (11-01000):
As previously reported, the remediation of the Kramer Beverage basin, which the Town and the Owner jointly use, will be the subject of a trial program. Among the following alternatives, it was decided to select alternative 2.
Complete the task during the fall of 2006 using non-composted leaves during the collection period (mid October through mid November).
Complete the task during spring of 2007 using stockpiled (composted) leaves.
Complete the task in the summer 2007 without the use of any leaf (composted) materials.
In so doing, a permit from NJDEP to stockpile leaves adjacent to the 11th Street ball fields for use at the applicable time must be secured. We are in pursuit of this permit. We need to further discuss this matter with the Public Works Sub-Committee to assure that all parties are on board with the selected plan. to review the recommended protocol.
21. Hammonton Lake Management (11-90026):
ARH Environmental staff has made the inquiries to the various review agencies and offer the following update to Council:
1. Lake Lowering Permit – NJDEP – We have completed and forwarded a Lake Lowering Permit to NJDEP’s Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries, inclusive of recent depth measurements. This permit, once received, will authorize lowering of the lake beginning in November with a return to normal water surface elevation by March 1, 2007.
2. Chemical Treatment – We are currently soliciting costs until September 29, 2006 for the chemical treatment of the lake from qualified lake management consultants. This treatment would be utilized primarily to control bladderwort infestation and would be applied during May of 2007.
