Commissioner Duncan made a motion seconded by Commissioner Copeland to approve the minutes from the Facilities Committee Executive Session held on October 16, 2019.\u00a0 Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n\n- Altama\/Sea Palms CIPP Contract Award<\/strong> \u2013 A. Burroughs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Burroughs advised that six firms responded with bids on Tuesday, November 5, 2019 for the CIPP Repairs \u2013 Altama Avenue Corridor and Sea Palms Development.\u00a0 He provided that the lowest bid was received from IPR Southeast, LLC who is the contractor already doing the SPLOST Lining Project on Whitlock Street.\u00a0 As of this morning they were about half completed with the lining project and the project was going well.\u00a0 The pricing came in lower than what was budgeted.\u00a0 There are two different funding sources for these two projects. \u00a0The SPLOST V funding is paying for the Sea Palms portion, and the Altama Avenue portion is being funded from the R&R Reserve.\u00a0 The total bid from IPS was $599,937.45 which when broken out separately equaled $349,440.20 for the Altama Avenue CIPP and $250,497.25 for the Sea Palms CIPP.\u00a0 At the Finance Committee earlier that day, there was discussion for using the remaining SPLOST V funds for more work in the Sea Palms Development.\u00a0 The contract will be 150 days, with Sea Palms being started first.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Duncan made a motion seconded by Commissioner Copeland to move that the Facilities Committee recommend entering into a contract with IPR Southeast, LLC, in the amount of $599,937.45 for the CIPP Repairs to the Altama Avenue Corridor and Sea Palms Development projects and move this item to the full Commission for approval.<\/u><\/p>\n
Chairman Turnipseed commented that with the $311,297.75 being left over in the SPLOST V funds and that JWSC spent money on the original I&I study on SSI and making some repairs in Sea Palms and asked if some of the JWSC funds can be reimbursed from the SPLOST V remainder.\u00a0 Mr. Burroughs will inquire on this matter with Mr. Dorminy.\u00a0 Chairman Turnipseed then asked if there was any other work that needed to be done at this time on SSI.\u00a0\u00a0 Mr. Burroughs advised that there is some ductile iron line that run down the main corridors in Sea Palms West which are in need of attention.\u00a0 There is potential that this could be a change order and added to the Sea Palms East project.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- East Beach\/Demere Improvements Project Budget<\/strong> \u2013 A. Burroughs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Burroughs provided that as discussed with the Finance Committee earlier, Glynn County has a SPLOST project to install intersection improvements at East Beach and Demere.\u00a0 In order to do this project they will have to relocate both water and sewer assets out of the new lanes.\u00a0 While doing this, JWSC has requested that they perform a couple of modifications, one being folding four manifold forcemains into one so that there is only one penetration coming into the manhole, and there is an existing concrete vault where all those lines come into that has been rehabbed twice in the last five years and needs to be demolished so staff is requesting to demo that and install an HDPE manhole where the new forcemain would be installed.\u00a0 Staff is requesting $100,000.00 to do these three modifications, which will not hold up the Glynn County project at all.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Duncan made a motion seconded by Commissioner Copeland to move that the Facilities Committee approve project funding in the amount of $100,000.00 for the East Beach\/Demere Sewer Improvement Project and that this project funding approval be forwarded to the full Commission for approval.\u00a0 Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
DISCUSSION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Discussion of Potential SPLOST 2020 Projects<\/strong> \u2013 A. Burroughs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Burroughs provided a discussion\/presentation to the Committee regarding the SPLOST 2020 Potential Project listing.\u00a0 Revisions have been made to the original list and brought the project list down to the four main priority projects.\u00a0 The revised report also includes the descriptions of what is needed to be done for each project.\u00a0 There are four scenarios that Mr. Burroughs presented with different amounts of potential funding JWSC could receive from the SPLOST 2020.\u00a0 The scenarios break down those funding amounts and indicate what amounts could be allocated for each of the four priority projects.\u00a0 The intent is to help customers, county wide with system wide benefits.\u00a0 Mr. Burroughs recommended getting this list finalized and approved at the next meeting to send the final copy to the county for consideration.<\/p>\n
\n- WPCF Plant Flows Report<\/strong> \u2013 A. Burroughs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Burroughs provided the plant flows report for all three wastewater treatment plants, Academy Creek, Dunbar and Southport.\u00a0 First he reviewed the data for Academy Creek and advised that there was about 7.5 MGD leaving the plant, and that the rainfall was up for the past month of October.\u00a0 The TSS concentrations were up and the BOD remained consistent.\u00a0 The ammonia levels dropped due to the lab equipment having been repaired.\u00a0 At Dunbar Creek there was a daily flow out of the plant of 2.9 MGD out of the 4.0 MGD total permitted.\u00a0 The TSS levels were down and the BOD remained consistent.\u00a0 The graph indicated the flows were rather stable.\u00a0 The BOD and TSS at Southport went up, as there was a higher influent for the month of October.\u00a0 Again though there was little variance in the flows.<\/p>\n
\n- Project Report<\/strong> \u2013 A. Burroughs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Burroughs and Mr. Kline presented the project report to the Committee.\u00a0 There were good discussion points on several of the projects, for which Mr. Burroughs and Mr. Kline provided responses for the Committee members.<\/p>\n
There being no further committee business, Chairman Turnipseed adjourned the meeting at 3:44 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
