SEWER & WATER - ACTION ITEMS
1. Elm & Cottage Streets Sanitary Sewer (11-50125):
As noted in prior reports the contractor has completed the project improvements. He has also provided the Town with a Maintenance Bond in the amount of 15% of the final contract. Therefore, we would recommend release of the money retained on the contract and release of the performance guaranty. Final payment is on this month’s bill list for consideration.
Action Requested:
Approve Final Payment and release the Performance Bond subject to review and approval of the Maintenance Bond by the Town Solicitor and Risk Manager.
2. Colwell, Railway, Wood, Egg Harbor Road Sanitary Sewer Project
Closeout (11-50122):
We have placed a final payment invoice for TSB Associates of Turnersville, NJ for sanitary sewer work completed on Egg Harbor Road in the area adjacent to Cherry Street. We would like Council’s favorable review of the final payment request subject to the following conditions be satisfied:
1. The contractor provides a copy of the as-built sanitary sewer plans from a licensed land surveyor.
2. The contractor providing a maintenance bond acceptable to the Town Solicitor and Risk Manager in an amount equal to $36,575.00 for a period of two years from January 1, 2007.
3. Certification of available funds from the Town’s CFO.
Action Requested:
Approval of final payment request to TSB Associates in the amount of $10,018.96 subject to compliance with the conditions noted above.
3. Main Road Duplex Project Sanitary Sewer Extension (11-20210):
We have met with the Sewer and Water Committee along with a representative from the Sewer Department related to the request for sanitary sewer service for the above noted project. The Committee recommended preliminary approval for sanitary sewer extension subject to compliance noted in the Town Engineer’s report dated 12/8/06. It is recommended that a preliminary approval resolution be passed by the Mayor and Council. A copy of the resolution is contained in this report.
Action Requested:
Adoption of the attached resolution granting preliminary approval of the design plans for sanitary sewer extension to service the proposed development subject to the conditions noted in the accompanying resolution.
PUBLIC WORKS - ACTION ITEMS
4. Pleasant Street Reconstruction State Aid (11-40017):
The contractor has substantially completed the project including all sanitary sewer installation, base and surface courses of pavement. To date, only minor items such as striping, signs, and topsoil/seed need to be completed. The Contractor is in the process of cleaning the site and has scheduled surveyors to complete as-built information. Once he has done so, a punch list will be created before final payment consideration and closeout. Payment Application #3 appears on this month’s bill list for consideration. It should be noted that an overall deduction to the contract is anticipated.
Since this project is partially funded through the NJDOT the Town must obtain pavement cores and laboratory results for various pavement parameters. We have therefore requested price quotes from two local laboratories to complete the pavement core sampling and analysis. There prices are as follows:
Craig Testing Company $680.00 Martin Ackley Associates $700.00
Action Requested:
Provide Craig Testing Company with a Purchase Order in the amount of $680.00 to complete the required pavement cores and analysis as required by the NJDOT.
5. Reading Avenue Subdivision (11-20111):
The Developer has requested release of the Performance Guaranty posted for the project. ARH has completed a preliminary site inspection and found that only minor items need to be addressed prior to the Town considering release of the guaranty. The Town will not have any responsibility as all improvements including the roadway will be maintained by the Developer and Homeowners Association. We will meet with the Quality of Life Committee to review the project improvements, but would hope that a conditional approval can be granted subject to their favorable review.
Action Requested:
Approve release of the Performance Guaranty posted with the Town subject to the following:
- Approval from the Quality of Life Committee
- The Developer posting an approved Maintenance Guaranty in accordance with ordinance standards
- The Developer satisfying any and all outstanding invoices and receipt of a letter from the Engineer relating to compliance with these conditions
6. ACIA Funding (11-40026):
As we have previously indicated, the Town is slated to receive approximately $70,000.00 from the Atlantic County Improvement Authority for the completion of the ADA Handicapped Ramps as well as Roadway and Drainage Improvements to Washington Street in the section between 12th Street and Orchard Street. Since the Town has opted not to participate further in this funding program, this current allotment will be the last of its kind. However, if the Town would like to utilize the $70,000, a report must be provided to the County. The report must obtain pictures of the project site including each of the intersections under consideration, engineer’s estimates, historical data, etc. required by SHPO. ARH will compile and submit the report on a time and materials basis if requested to do so by Mayor and Council.
Action Requested:
Provide ARH with approval/denial to move forward with the ACIA report as required by SHPO in conjunction with the proposed project improvement.
7. Atlantic County Recreation and Open Space Round #7 (11-01064-68):
The County has recommended that resolution #149-2006 and #150-2006 passed on October 23, 2006 be amended to read as noted in the attached resolutions. The changes remove the word legal in the third line of the second paragraph and insert the words “environmental assessment” in its place. We would request two certified copies of the amended resolution once adopted
Action Requested:
Adoption of the modified resolutions as requested by the County.
8. Safe Routes to Schools (11-01000):
As previously authorized our office is preparing the application for the Safe Routes to Schools Program. The deadline for submission is December 29, 2006. Prior to finalizing the application our office would like to sit down with the Committee on Public Works to establish project priorities. In order to complete the application Council should authorize the execution of the application.
Action Requested:
Authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the application. Attached is a sample resolution.
9. Hammonton Lake Herbicide Treatment Price Quotes (11-90026):
As requested by the Town Council and the Lake Management Committee, we have solicited quotes to complete the herbicide treatment of the Hammonton Lake for the spring of 2007. As noted in the memo dated October 25, 2006 (copy attached) from John Helbig of ARH to the Mayor and Council. Four quotes were requested and three price quotes were returned. As summary of the quotes are as follows:
Vendor Cost
1.) Great Blue, Inc., Newton, NJ $10,500.00
2.) Aquatic Analysts, Middleville, NJ $12,500.00
3.) Allied Biological Inc., Hackettstown, NJ $13,805.00
We would recommend an award be made to Great Blue Inc. of Newton, NJ for a cost of $10,500.00 subject to the following conditions:
1. Review and approval of the price quotes from the Town Solicitor.
2. Certification of available funds from the CFO.
Action Requested:
Approval of an award to complete the herbicide treatment of the Hammonton Lake in an amount of $10,500.00 to Great Blue Inc of Newton, NJ subject to compliance with the conditions noted above.
SEWER & WATER INFORMATION ITEMS
10. Egg Harbor Road Utility Extension Phase II and IIA (11-50111):
The Contractor has completed the water main installation between Park Avenue and 9th Street along with the sanitary sewer installation between 9th Street and Victory Bible Church. They are currently constructing sanitary sewer improvements at the Egg Harbor & Weymouth Roads intersection. It is anticipated that restoration work between Park Avenue and 9th Street will begin by the date of the meeting. Payment Request #2 appears on this month’s agenda for payment consideration.
As indicated in the last meeting, NJ Transit is completing work to the Weymouth Road Bridge in the area of 8th Street. While work was originally scheduled to be finished by the date of the meeting, extenuating circumstances has prevailed and work is still ongoing. We will keep Council apprised of progress.
11. Central Avenue Water Main Extension (11-30130):
As approved last month, the Contractor has installed all of the sidewalk, driveway apron, and brick paver improvements along Third Street. Base Pavement has also been installed and the Surface Course is anticipated to be completed by the date of the meeting. As of December 11, the water main improvements have been completed to roughly Locust Street. We will monitor progress over the next month and determine if weather will interfere with the contractor completing any further improvements along the project route. Payment Application #1 appears on this month’s bill list for Council’s consideration.
12. Well #7 (11-30131):
Negotiations between the Sub-Committee and South Jersey Gas continue. There has been definitive progress made on the discussions whereby another conference with a hopeful final decision and a resolution is scheduled for December 14, 2006. If there is any settlement produced at this meeting, we will report the findings to the full Council.
13. Water Allocation (11-30088):
Firm Source Calculation
There is no change from our last report whereby we are awaiting the NJDEP’s formal calculation of firm source capacity since August 2006 became the Town’s newest peak month. The minor modification application which is discussed below, will address interim measures to increase firm source capacity through the construction of a second 1,500 gpm well at the Well #5 site.
Major Modification Application:
The aquifer test proposal was submitted to NJDEP on November 3, 2006 for the protocol that will demonstrate the ability to increase the monthly allocation from 77.5 MG to approximately 113 MG. The application also included a request to increase to the annual allocation of 603 MG to some projected factor that parallels the monthly request for increase. NJDEP anticipates that we will have the findings related to the aquifer test proposal by mid January. They reported that the protocol, from a preliminary review, appears to be satisfactory. At the next Sub-Committee scheduled for December 14, 2006, we will be seeking permission to advertise for contracts on the aquifer test proposal so that the work can be fast tracked as to produce the much needed results and approvals.
Minor Modification Application:
As mentioned above, we are simultaneously seeking permission for 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. The minor modification overview was sent to NJDEP on November 20, 2006. We expect approval of the procedure by January 1, 2007. Therefore, the design of Well #7 at the Well #5 site is needed to accomplish the objective of increasing firm source capacity as well as producing greater system reliability.
We will be discussing this strategy with the Sub-Committee so that they can make a formal report to Council on the night of the meeting. The strategy consists of the following:
1. Obtain reliability to the existing system (accomplished with construction of Well 7 at Well 5 site)
2. Add to firm source capacity (accomplished with construction of Well 7 at Well 5 site)
3. Add to monthly and annual diversion (accomplished with aquifer testing procedure)
4. Pursue new source (possibly accomplished through SJG negotiations)
Inclusive in the discussion with the sub-committee will be the overall engineering and funding necessary to accomplish the objectives as outlined above.
PUBLIC WORKS - INFORMATION ITEMS
14. Transportation Enhancements, Bellevue Ave-12th Street Improvements (11-40011):
Mayor and Council previously approved a contract to Marandino Concrete Company of Vineland for the above noted project. This approval was conditioned upon the availability of funds, review of the bidding documents by the Town Solicitor, and concurrence from the NJDOT. To date we do not have NJDOT approval but it is anticipated that this will be provided shortly. By the time of the meeting we will have held a preconstruction conference with the applicable parties. We will also attempt to determine a time, weather permitting, for a public meeting. It is hoped that work on the project can begin sometime after the first of the new year.
15. Kramer Beverage Retention Basin (11-01000):
As Council is aware, we reported that a permit is required from NJDEP to stockpile the leaves that will be used in the remediation of the Kramer Beverage basin. We expect receipt of the permit very shortly from our conversations with NJDEP. Hopefully, the permit will be received in time to implement the program during this season. Once the permit is received, we will have a meeting with the subcommittee and initiate the procedure that we have outlined to the State.
16. Downtown Parking Areas (11-01000-92):
We have provided a base plan for the Main Street coordinator’s review and use to develop the conceptual plans.
17. Hammonton Lake Lowering (11-90026):
The lake lowering program has started and will continue over the next few months to reach the design release level. While the lake is drained, it would be an ideal time for residents to clean the area adjacent to their properties if desired. The lake will be returned to normal level this spring.
18. Boyer Avenue Recreation (11-50099):
Phase II
Construction:
The contractor has been on site recently completing the punchlist, and the irrigation system has been winterized. The contractor has submitted a payment request for this month’s bill list. All major items of work are complete at this time.
19. Boyer Avenue Land Application – Pinelands/USGS Study (11-50058):
In response to our letter to USGS, they provided a status report which was previously forwarded to Council regarding the activities at the Boyer Avenue site. Part of the protocol called for periodic meetings with Town Officials. None have occurred as of this writing however USGS indicated that they will be scheduling the first progress meeting during the early part of January.
