Staff said the existing 24‑inch and 36‑inch manual butterfly valves are difficult to operate and no longer fully isolate the mains from the plant to Compton Road. Without functioning valves the utility cannot easily isolate sections of the system in the event of an emergency. SSR evaluated several options and staff presented the recommended approach for replacement. The SSR work will produce design documents and a bid package to solicit construction bids.

Staff estimated construction costs at approximately $256,000. Board discussion clarified that the task order is for the engineering/design work; final construction contracts will return to the board for approval after bids are received. A motion to approve SSR’s engineering task order carried by voice vote.

Staff said the recommended option was selected because of the compliance and operational risk associated with valves that will not shut and because access and safety needs drive construction requirements. The board instructs staff to proceed to bidding and to bring construction bids back for final approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Water Resources Board – February 25, 2025 (audio only)","oneSentenceSummary","The Water Resources Board approved an SSR engineering task order to design replacement of 24‑inch and 36‑inch butterfly valves at the water treatment plant; staff estimated construction costs at about $256,000.","taxTitle","Water Resources Board Meetings, Murfreesboro City, Rutherford County, Tennessee","taxId",79588,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6693200,"Town Creek daylighting project: board hears $22.5 million project overview, $1.24 million water/sewer share",594,645000,1239000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2755475-859447c69e9a8cc189ca383f2e2c4b48&start=645&end=1239","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2755475-859447c69e9a8cc189ca383f2e2c4b48/thumbnail_645000.jpg","/articles/6693200/Tennessee/Town-Creek-daylighting-project-board-hears-225-million-project-overview-124-million-watersewer-share","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6693200-c8eb6aefc427ab5c8090fe4e71432b2a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771133216&Signature=VLiAC9ORLj1BgR3PgdOkxPBChGJHqlwDr4l~vsCbF1el84CqWdDl7EgsqafDiugGi6zFgnjxVkY4DgXA2xNoG9SZ4GeRrz7yD5DjKP20IcbEXtRzhoKdBBO0fFDMWl3X1Uvr~QoTIYWpAEEUtEb2uQ6cDwmVpK4u5WFIl8T9j6Occ3okDjma15yyZ6l35FMy3dAnkzuAVCf45MNlUtuBPXXz5Ys8LXmMP9-1UcpTl68P2yLBcsFIKbEuDrNJAXXjR-4McKUa1LsaCzlXRP1~hmBl~~VKaRaLUcyiD4u-kvZ1lng1Jnin7SPpt~eBExKoxXCjlLrlhvShGVtb5Ejz6A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members received an update on the Town Creek daylighting and downtown restoration project and the water and sewer relocations tied to the work.

Staff said the city opened bids on the daylighting project and that the project’s overall cost is roughly $22.5 million. At the time of bid opening the department learned the city would fund required water and sewer relocations, and staff later identified approximately $1.24 million in quantities related to water and sewer work that the Water Resources Department would cover if the board does not secure city funding for park‑only improvements.

Staff noted roughly $200,000 in items described as park‑only improvements — an 8‑inch water main segment near the planned pedestrian bridge and an 8‑inch sewer extension into the park — that do not appear to serve future buildings and therefore could be requested from city funds rather than the water department’s budget. Staff said they will discuss those items with city staff (named Darren in the meeting) to see if the city will fund them.

Board members asked about updated cost estimates; staff said prior “back‑of‑the‑napkin” estimates were lower, and that current estimates show the water/sewer participation is about $1.2 million. The board was also told the city council has approved the overall project funding; the board does not need to act on the full project approval itself.

Staff said utility relocations are expected to be among the earliest construction activities and that a preconstruction meeting is planned for about March. The timeline for ARPA funding use was discussed; staff said ARPA funds must be drawn by a stated project deadline (referred to in the meeting as the fall funding deadline), and that some portions of the project will be prioritized to meet funding timing. The board heard that utilities, electric work and erosion control are immediate construction priorities.

No board vote was required on the overall project during this meeting. Staff said they will add the department’s water/sewer obligations to their project dashboard and monitor reserves and budget impacts; staff estimated the department can cover the work from reserves but emphasized the request is largely a principle issue rather than an immediate solvency problem.","Board members received an update on the Town Creek daylighting project.

Stormwater manager Josh Upson described the green infrastructure elements — vegetated bioswales and soil/rock reservoir features that treat the “first flush” of polluted runoff — and said the city has not had a comprehensive, deep assessment of these features despite some installations being in place for about 15 years. Staff told the board WK Dixon specializes in evaluating the effectiveness of stormwater control measures and previously assisted with the city’s stormwater controls manual.

The task order is a lump sum of $23,800 and will be paid from the department’s professional services line item. WK Dixon will meet with staff across departments — parks, schools and other groups that operate sites with these features — to document site constraints, maintenance needs and produce action items and recommendations.

Board member Sandra moved to approve the task order; a second was made and the motion carried by voice vote. Staff said WK Dixon is based in Knoxville and has a team member located in Franklin/Brentwood who will coordinate local inspections.

Staff will return with the assessment report and recommended action items after the inspections and internal meetings.","The Water Resources Board approved a lump‑sum task order with WK Dixon to assess city‑owned green stormwater infrastructure, at a cost of $23,800 from professional services funds, to identify maintenance needs and recommend action items.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6693209,"Water board approves SSR task order for departmentwide arc‑flash safety study",216,229000,445000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2755475-859447c69e9a8cc189ca383f2e2c4b48&start=229&end=445","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2755475-859447c69e9a8cc189ca383f2e2c4b48/thumbnail_229000.jpg","/articles/6693209/Tennessee/Water-board-approves-SSR-task-order-for-departmentwide-arcflash-safety-study","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6693209-886e422cabfeeb553280de6938daece9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771133216&Signature=UV1CTsSrs2p4Ljbvh83CVEoYKfvFoEm9EiJhtpWCHsYkihRHX4nzc~sDM3BoSqdCPrdIDREp0m-91-AFHcdS06WxZZYSo6z2q6FJSZulwQ1wCknVfVIv1tOG95~jzCA-Ei-32WoqsJtY9V9ejHlz-W7iPz0MoTKgUvHYfVtaTDRLALMkwnSI7skXhu2m8RWwN6r1NJCqVq7H9gxuegagnYpWKxzGRgkFHwjc3OucuuK9UDE8a8-SSX7sipEd1j5JUgil9A5~AjIgEfVcS4UT0w72xnfdDc43ERdGtnfLvNKvLCyBMkom~tDMxMUz1gCKFy~KFPfb5keyZTCpavE8Mg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Water Resources Board voted to approve a task order for engineering firm SSR to perform a departmentwide arc‑flash study of the utility’s electrical systems, board members confirmed during their meeting. The work is intended to identify arc‑flash hazards, update labeling and maintenance protocols, and recommend personal protective equipment and procedures for staff.

Board members were told the study is required by code and that SSR previously performed similar work for the department. Staff estimated the task order at roughly $129,000 and said the contract will be funded from working capital reserves. The presenter said carrying out the study across the entire department at once will create scale savings and reduce the risk that some facilities are missed.

Staff described arc flash as a high‑hazard electrical event that can occur during a voltage surge and can cause explosive effects in air gaps around electrical equipment. The study will locate hazards, propose updated maintenance protocols, and identify protective equipment and scheduling recommendations.

Board members asked about the last time parts of the system were labeled; staff said some labels dated to 2016 and that routine five‑year re‑labeling had caused a patchwork of older studies. Staff said doing the full department at once will help avoid gaps where some sites have not been recently reviewed.

A motion to approve the task order carried by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript. Staff will proceed with SSR and return to the board if further approvals are required after study scope refinements or additional work requests.","The Water Resources Board approved a task order with engineering firm SSR to conduct a departmentwide arc‑flash study, a code‑required electrical safety assessment, at an estimated cost of about $129,000 funded from working capital reserves.","actionData","errors"]
