The committee suggested creating a Tier II group list, and discussed some possible options for the future.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Cook made a motion seconded by Commissioner Duncan to move that the Facilities Committee recommend the full Commission approve the Fiscal Year 2023 Capital Projects Plan as presented.\u00a0 Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Infrastructure and Easement Dedications<\/strong> \u2013 T. Kline<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Autumns Wood Phase 2<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Tanglewood Phase 2<\/strong><\/li>\n

Mr. Kline advised the committee that the Glynn County Water and Sewer Ordinance 2-16-15 requires private owners of existing or proposed systems that receive water from or discharge to the public Utility to enter into a Satellite Agreement that assigns the responsibility for standards of operation and maintenance.\u00a0 The Developers of the projects described above, wish to dedicate easements and\/or infrastructure, or enter into a Satellite Agreement for private operation and maintenance as indicated.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Duncan made a motion seconded by Commissioner Cook to move that the Facilities Committee forward these projects with associated Dedications and Easements to the full Commission for approval and acceptance.<\/u><\/p>\n
The Facilities Committee further discussed the definition and use of a Satellite Agreement as identified in the Glynn County Ordinance.\u00a0 The need for a Satellite Agreement is very rare, however is used when the private owner of record wishes to maintain and operate the infrastructure serving their development\/property.\u00a0 In this case, any future new hook-ups have to be allowed by the development owner of the private infrastructure.\u00a0 The purpose of the Satellite Agreement is to assign responsibility for standard operation and maintenance of the system\/equipment used when the private owner is keeping that portion private and is serving more than one (1) entity.\u00a0 The committee unanimously agreed to defer, review and discuss the Satellite Agreement for Village Drive Force Main again at a later time, while moving the Autumns Wood and Tangle Wood infrastructure and easement dedications on to the full Commission for acceptance at that meeting.<\/p>\n
Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Equipment Purchase: Kubota 30\u201d Cold Planer<\/strong> \u2013 A. Burroughs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Burroughs advised the committee that currently, for water and sewer repairs and pipe installations under existing asphalt surfaces, JWSC crews have two options for asphalt removal. \u00a0The most common option is to sawcut the asphalt, load the large chunks into dump trucks and haul the materials to the landfill.\u00a0 In larger scenarios, often crews contract out milling of the asphalt surface to a third party.\u00a0 When staff began discussing self-installing the new force main for Pump Station 2002 on Arnold Road, quotes to mill the 1,000 foot of asphalt surface ranged from $3,000 to $5,000.\u00a0 Mr. Burroughs stated that owning a cold planer attachment has multiple benefits to the JWSC.\u00a0 Having the in-house capability to mill asphalt provides the JWSC with greater schedule control.\u00a0 Also, the milled asphalt can be used to fill the road cuts until final paving repairs could occur.\u00a0 Additionally, this equipment can be utilized by both water and sewer crews.\u00a0 It is estimated that the equipment will pay for itself in about five uses.\u00a0 The equipment will be purchased with remaining funds in the Systems Pumping and Maintenance operating budget.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Cook made a motion seconded by Commissioner Duncan to move that the Facilities Committee recommend the full Commission approve the purchase of a Kubota 30\u201d Cold Planer from Sapelo Equipment CO, LLC in the amount of $24,999.00.\u00a0 Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Community Road Sewer Project \u2013 Engineering Proposal <\/strong>\u2013 T. Kline<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Kline presented the request for Change Order #1 to Capital Project #2020 \u2013 Community Road Engineering Services Water & Sewer Extension Project Professional Services Contract.\u00a0 This change order will provide for additional funding of $76,650.00 and a time extension of 283 days to the original contract.\u00a0 This would modify the originally designed route of gravity sewer extensions from the Community Road right-of-way to Habersham Street and modify the proposed wastewater collection system from gravity to low pressure grinder force main.\u00a0 This would eliminate excessive easement acquisitions, modifications to PS4011 and also reduce construction and permanent operational disruptions to the existing businesses and traffic along Community Road.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Cook made a motion seconded by Commissioner Duncan to move that the Brunswick-Glynn Joint Water & Sewer Commission Facilities Committee forward the above-described Change Order #1 to the full Commission for approval. \u00a0Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nDISCUSSION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- WPCF Plant Flows Report<\/strong> \u2013 A. Burroughs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Burroughs reviewed the Wastewater Flow Reports with the Commissioners.\u00a0 This report contains data regarding the influent and effluent flows, concentration of elements and chemicals, plant capacity, etc. March 2022 was a wet month resulting in increased rainfall and increased plant flows, and resulting in lower influent and effluent concentrations.\u00a0 The influent flow at Academy Creek rose from 5.8 to 7.6 and the effluent flow rose from 5.6 to 7.2, with the plant operating at 54% of its capacity.\u00a0 The influent flow at Dunbar Creek was up at 3.2 and the effluent flow was up to 3.7, with the plant operating at 93% capacity.\u00a0 The influent flow at South Port was at 0.295 and the effluent flow was at 0.397, with the plant operating at 26% capacity.\u00a0 JWSC\u2019s wastewater treatment plants are operating very well and are within permit limits.<\/p>\n
\n- Capital Project Report<\/strong> \u2013 T. Kline \/ A. Burroughs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Kline and Mr. Burroughs presented an update on the Project Report for projects currently in process.\u00a0 The Commissioners were provided with a packet containing: the Capital Project Photographs, Capital Project Report Spreadsheet, the Capital Project Gantt Chart of project timelines, and also the Earned Value Analysis Report.\u00a0 Mr. Kline and Mr. Burroughs thoroughly presented the update by discussing each project along with excellent photographs and descriptive details.<\/p>\n
