Public Utilities committee advances water main projects, stormwater consultant contract and plats to city council (3-0)
Summary
The Perrysburg Public Utilities committee on Jan. 17 voted unanimously in committee (3-0, no objections recorded) to advance multiple infrastructure and implementation items to city council, including water-main projects and a stormwater utility contract.
The Perrysburg Public Utilities committee on Jan. 17 voted unanimously in committee (3-0, no objections recorded) to advance multiple items to city council: a nomination and authorization to apply for a Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSLRA) for Front, Second and Third Street water-main replacement; a change order to Proudfoot and Associates for additional engineering related to the East River Road water connection project; a contract with Environmental Rate Consultants for stormwater utility implementation; and ordinances accepting three plats.
Quick facts and committee outcomes
- Front/Second/Third Street water main replacement (WSLRA nomination): Committee advanced a resolution authorizing the mayor and director of finance to apply for and enter into a WSLRA loan for planning, design and construction, and to designate rates as the dedicated repayment source. The committee recorded no objections and moved the resolution to city council 3-0. Staff said nomination timing for water projects is in March. Officials referenced a historically low subsidized loan interest example of 2.71% (from prior review).
- East River Road Water Connection: The committee advanced a resolution authorizing a change order to the Proudfoot and Associates agreement so that design services can reflect an increase in proposed main size from 24 inches to 30 inches. The additional design services were cited at $39,120; committee voted to forward the change order to council 3-0.
- Stormwater Utility Program, Phase 2: The committee advanced a resolution to enter an agreement with Environmental Rate Consultants Inc. for implementation of the stormwater utility program at a cost not to exceed $283,940. Committee members noted this is phase 2 of a 14-month implementation schedule and that the contract was recommended after an RFQ process that closed 06/14/2023; the committee moved the contract forward 3-0.
- Acceptance of plats (ordinances): The committee advanced three ordinances accepting streets and infrastructure for Coventry Point Plat 4, Canterbury Plat 4 and Summerfield Plat 5 after Department of Public Service and Department of Public Utilities inspection. All three ordinances were moved to city council with no objections (3-0).
- Metrics / reports and other items: The committee approved its second-of-2024 metrics report and received informational items including expected updates to DPU fees and capital-equipment budget requests that will be considered by the finance committee. The committee indicated no objections and forwarded appropriate items to council or finance with 3-0 votes where recorded.
Why it matters: collectively these actions advance water-main replacements, a larger transmission connection project intended to increase system resilience, the formal launch of a stormwater utility implementation plan, and the acceptance of newly completed subdivisions into the city's maintenance rolls. Several items include funding or design implications that will return to council for final authorization.
