Board recommends multiple grant acceptances, surveys and a contract for emergency-work projects
Summary
Committees recommended surveying Stonehill Lane for a water extension, awarding an EWP engineering contract for an $8 million project, accepting smaller EWP flood grants (estimated $341,000 with a 25% match), approving a $100,000 PPE grant for turnout gear, and forwarding a radio-system change order that reduced contract price by $15,100.
Committee chairs reported several recommended actions for board approval and implementation planning.
The water and sewer committee recommended county staff survey Stonehill Lane residents to gauge interest in a roughly 1.2-mile water extension. The public safety and budget committees discussed emergency watershed projects: the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program includes a large $8,000,000 project for which the committee recommended negotiating and executing a contract with Terra Tech Engineers. The board was also advised of a separate February-flood EWP award with an estimated construction amount of $341,000 that carries a 25% match requirement (about $75,000), though committee discussion noted donated labor and in-kind work may reduce cash outlays.
The public safety committee recommended acceptance of a Department of Fire PPE grant of $100,000 to buy turnout gear for volunteer stations and discussed a $30,000 contamination-equipment request with a committee recommendation to split costs between PSAC funding and contingency funds, referring the request to the PSAC agenda. The Motorola radio project had a change order that lowered the contract price by $15,100; the committee recommended approving change order number 4 and authorizing execution.
Committees also reported ongoing work on construction-bond balances (roughly $5.5 million remaining) and a school-facility study RFP being prepared by the school board. Several committee recommendations were forwarded to the full board for a voice vote and committee chairs described next procedural steps for negotiations and authorizations.
