PS 2032 Pipe Pre-Purchase <\/strong>\u2013 P. Crosby<\/p>\nPam Crosby discussed the pre-purchase pipe for PS 2032. The Finance Committee earlier today approved pursuing taking bids for the pre-purchase force main pipe which include 16\u201d HDPE pipe.\u00a0 It was stated in the Finance Committee meeting prior that this project is in the engineering phase and won\u2019t go out for bid for construction until mid-October. The contract will be awarded possibly in December.\u00a0 While checking into the suppliers for the material needed there could be lead times of 6 \u2013 8 weeks.\u00a0 Due to the holidays it could delay construction time.\u00a0 The contract documents would include language for delivery of the product and installation.\u00a0 The reason for this suggested pre-purchase process is to help accelerate the time-line and to not get behind schedule.\u00a0 Legal Counsel has been informed and does not believe there should be a problem incorporating into the contract documents. \u00a0This request is being recommended to the Finance Meeting for approval and then on to the full Commission.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\nCommissioner Boland made a motion seconded by Commissioner Perry to forward to the full Commission to initiate JWSC seeking quotes for the purchase of the 16\u201d HDPE pipe for further review and approval. Additionally, JWSC staff will work with legal counsel to craft contract language to support contractor installation of the 16\u201d HDPE pipe that would maintain all warranties and claims on the work performed.\u00a0 Motion approved 4-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
Lift Station Bypass Pump <\/strong>\u2013 P. Crosby<\/p>\nPam Crosby presented the Bypass Pump approval item to the Facilities Committee. The final \u2018not to exceed\u2019 dollar amount was 1.25M for pumps to alleviate the problems. \u00a0Earlier today Kirk Young presented to the Finance Committee and he stated the staff has discussed what relatively quick fixes can be applied in areas that have been identified with problems.\u00a0 Kirk had explained that the request for approval is to acquire permanent mount diesel fire pumps that we can incorporate as part of a long term plan.\u00a0 The staff recommends that JWSC rent pumps on a short term plan until the more permanent pumps are ordered and installed.\u00a0 This will provide capacity soon which could be a number of weeks to a month.\u00a0 The request today is asking for authorization for rental for short term and best price to purchase for long term.\u00a0 This pump was also used at LS2030.\u00a0 In the Godwin document they offer a percentage of the rental monies to go towards the purchase price of a new pump.\u00a0 It was stated that it is within the Executive Directors authority to sign off on the rental of a pump.\u00a0 The standard delivery time for a purchase would be 8 weeks but not to exceed 12 weeks.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Boland made a motion second by Commissioner Elliott to send to the full Commission authorizing the rental of two (2) bypass pumps not to exceed 12 weeks and not to exceed $1,250,000 for LS2032 while waiting for the purchased pumps to arrive. Motion approved 4-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>N. Mainland Additional Taps <\/strong>\u2013 T. Kline \/ Harry Patel<\/p>\nTodd Kline discussed the N. Mainland Additional Taps. This is a moving item and is planned for next Thursday for approval.\u00a0 The staff and Commissioner Boland have looked at 2032 on SSI and the lift stations on the mainland that have capacity issues.\u00a0 The pumps that were just approved will help with the long range program.\u00a0 Commissioner Elliott discussed the construction standards and the peeking factors.\u00a0 Yesterday a meeting was held with 4 Waters, JWSC staff, and the Commissioners to better understand the Master Plan.\u00a0 Todd discussed the standards and what the EPD regulates us operationally and for design.\u00a0 The 10-state standards were discussed in addition to what JWSC uses and what the Master Plan was based on.\u00a0 The safety factors are applied to design.\u00a0 The briefing from 4 Waters provided a better understanding of the grading of our systems and used population studies and actual measure flows.\u00a0 Harry Patel discussed the Brunswick Area Transportation Study (BATS) and Population Estimates by Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) which determined the total existing base population.\u00a0 He continued with the calculation of peeking factor example and explained how the accurate number could be determined.\u00a0 It was recommended to present the approval document to the full Commission on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Amendment of CIF Language \u2013<\/strong> Comm. Elliott<\/p>\nCommissioner Elliott stated this was discussed in the Finance Committee meeting earlier today. It was stated in the combined meeting earlier that a further amendment is required to Sections IV (e).\u00a0 Section IV (e) is currently written as: Capital improvement fees must be paid prior to, or concurrent with, the JWSC\u2019s approval of construction plans for the capacity required. \u00a0The required capacity will be reserved for that property.<\/p>\n
The Committee members recommended forwarding to the full Commission for approval that the JWSC accept the second amendment to Section IV of the Rate Resolution for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. All agreed 4-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
DISCUSSION:<\/strong><\/p>\nHawkins Island Deed <\/strong>\u2013 Comm. Boland<\/p>\nCommissioner Boland updated the Committee on the Hawkins Island 3 lift stations. It was stated that the deeds only included 2 and there was a request that JWSC take over the remaining one.\u00a0 Charlie Dorminy stated there was an easement survey performed by Shupe Survey which was used to draft the deed.\u00a0 It was noted that JWSC previously requested that the deed issued be corrected and it was not done.\u00a0 Kirk Young stated that one lift station is in question as to the documentation and the easement survey. \u00a0The Lake Cottages on Sea Island Road was also discussed as being treated as a private system.\u00a0 It was stated that an official note or letter could be written to take over the property.\u00a0 It was recommended to forward to the full Commissioner for discussion.<\/p>\n
Processing CIF Requests in No Capacity Basins<\/strong> \u2013 Comm. Elliott<\/p>\nCommissioner Elliott explained the capacity issue and the concern that when capacity increases that some individuals will want to buy all that is available. It was discussed that if someone is ready to use it \u2013 a time criteria must be established.\u00a0 It was noted that staff will need to come forward with a recommendation and confirm this is a viable way to handle capacity with the assistance of legal counsel.\u00a0 JWSC should not be held accountable for holding tap connections indefinitely.\u00a0 It was recommended to let the county know about upcoming capacity and that this is how it will be managed.\u00a0 It was discussed that a work session could be held around the 15th<\/sup> of September to discuss the priority of effort and a financial plan to support it.\u00a0 The maximum allowance was discussed as well as Dunbar Creeks capacity.\u00a0 The number of permits allowed each year have been about 1,200.<\/p>\nMeeting was adjourned at 3:58 pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
