City Council Update
June 2, 2016
Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project








Construction activities began on April 4, 2016.
Removal of the treatment & processing equipment in Train A of the Settlement Basin is 100% complete.
Crack repair activities on Filter Bed No. 1 in the Control Building have been completed.
Sandblasting of all exterior concrete walls and support steel has been completed.
Sandblasting of all piping in the Pipe Gallery has been completed.
The Contractor with crack repairs and concrete repairs on the wall of Train A of the Settlement Basin and
the Sludge Pump Room.
The Contractor is making preparations to begin the installation of the various valves in the Pipe Gallery.
Project should be completed on, or before, October 10, 2016.
 The Project was originally scheduled to be completed by September 10, 2016 but with the three
approved Additive Alternates, the contract date was extended (30) days.
North Buckhannon City Park Improvement Project



FEMA is still reviewing the request from the City to use permeable concrete at the NBCP due to
restrictions on FEMA-purchased mitigation / buyout property.
The exterior (outside) phases of the Project that involve ADA-compliant permeable concrete cannot start
until the City receives the approval letter from FEMA.
Street Department has completed the necessary interior ADA-compliant renovations to the two (2) public
restrooms.
Raw Water Intake Emergency Generator Project






The WVDHSEM grant application for the purchase & installation of a backup generator for the Raw Water
Intake is ready for submission to the WV Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
Installation of the generator would mean that the entire water department (both WTP and distribution
system) would have backup emergency generator power at all locations.
Anticipated cost of the project is $225,000.00.
Reason for the higher cost is that it will be an elevated generator (due to the floodway and floodplain in the
area) on City property near the Raw Water Intake.
If approved, FEMA would provide $180,000.00 and the City would provide $45,000.00 (an 80/20 split).
There is the possibility that the WVDHSEM would provide the $45,000.00 (as a local match) but the City
needs to budget the money in case the WVDHSEM cannot provide the money.
USACE Local Flood Control Project


The Bid Package for the Virginia Spirea botanical survey has been completed and the Project is currently
advertising for bids.
 The field survey can only be conducted from June 1 st through September 30th of each year (to
allow the plant to bloom and make for easier identification).
 The survey will take approximately one (1) week, including travel, field work, analysis, agency
coordination and reports.
 Two-person survey crew, including a botanist and an assistant.
 The office portion of the botanical survey will take approximately two (2) weeks to complete.
 Approximate cost of $15,000.00.
 Bids are due on Friday, June 17, 2016 by 4:00PM EST.
Letters were sent to the property owners along the Buckhannon River that are in the Flood Control Project
limits to:
 Inform them of the City’s intent to have the Virginia Spirea botanical survey conducted.
 Asking them to attend a meeting at City Hall on May 12, 2016 at 6:00PM to discuss what the
activities will be associated with the Virginia Spirea botanical survey.
 Answer any questions or concerns the property owners may have.
177

No one attended the May 12, 2016 meeting to discuss the botanical survey.
McDonalds / Route 20 Lane Widening




Anticipated advertising date of the project is late June 2016.
Anticipated awarding date of the project is late July 2016.
Anticipating beginning of construction activities is late August 2016.
Anticipating completion of construction in late December 2016.
SCADA System



Overall, the Water Distribution System SCADA installation is approximately 95% complete.
Punchlist items are now being addressed.
Additional work items are being considered / reviewed at this time.
Route 20 Railroad Crossing Update

In recent conversations with A&O Railroad, at this time there are no plans to replace / upgrade the railroad
crossing at this time.
 As I mentioned last July, I would update City Council on the status of this project once I received
information from either A&O Railroad or the WVDOH.
Old Weston Road Waterline Replacement Project

A waterline break underneath the railroad tracks at the Corridor H Overpass on the Old Weston Road
occurred on Friday, May 13, 2016 at approximately 5:00PM EST.
 The 8”Ø waterline is one (1) of (2) lines that supply potable water to the Clow WST and the
customers in the Liggett Addition.
 The Water Department Distribution System Crew worked on the broken waterline for
approximately 4.5 hours.
 However, the site conditions (saturated soil, depth of excavation, time of day, etc.) prevented the
Crew from making the necessary repairs.
 The broken waterline has been temporarily shut down until the necessary repairs can be made.
 A site meeting was held this morning at the site between the WVDOH, A&O Railroad and the
City to discuss the issues and permitting.
 Preliminary designs and photos have been sent to both the WVDOH and CSX Railroad for initial
review and comments.
Gateway West Transportation Alternatives Project

Received notification from the Governor’s Office on May 18, 2016 that the City was awarded $75,000.00
for the Engineering and Design Phase of the GWW Project.
 The City shall have one (1) year to complete the engineering and design of the Project.
 The City can either design the project in-house (which is what I did for Gateway East) or a preapproved consulting engineering firm could design the project.
 However, the consulting engineering firm would be paid out of the $75,000.00 received by the
City, which would leave less money to apply towards the construction phase of the project.
 Once the engineering and design is completed and reviewed & approved by the WVDOH, the City
will receive notification regarding the construction phase of the project.
 Funding for the project is an 80/20 split between the WVDOH and the City where the WVDOH
would provide $293,679.20 towards the project and the City would provide $73,419.80..
 The project funding is $367,099.00, which is based upon the 2015 GWW application.
 However, based upon the 2016 application, the cost of the GWW project is $395,351.42,
which is an increase of $28,252.42.
 Therefore, the total City commitment would be $101,672.22.
 However, there is the possibility that some of the City’s costs could be offset using the Force
Account procedure, which would allow the City’s Street Department to construct the
sidewalks and install the street lights and the time & material from the Street Department
would “count towards” the $101,672.22 (it should be noted that during the GWE project, the
Street Department contributed $81,756.57 of Force Account work.
 Additional information will be made available to me once I have a scoping meeting with the
WVDOH sometime in the near future.

Mayor McCauley recognized Mr. Russell Jarrett to discuss Upper Drive speed bump concerns. Due to
