CEC, 10/20/05, TOB 111, 8:30am
CWL, SS, RB, TE, BH, GB
DPW: Dave Cannon, Wayne Brooks, Dennis Meehan, Wayne Medlin, Bill
Hadley, Kelly Kelly Zeoli, Mike Flaming
DPW Facility is #1 priority, $12M ($10-$12M). Hadley, Brooks met w/
PBC. 11 proposals shorted to 4 to be interviewed next week. Pre-bid
meeting was in August. Probably won't have a $ amount until just
before the ATM. Looking for 55K s.f.. Hadley will email RFQ to TE or
CWL.
#2: Equipment, $434K, FY07, looking at hybrids for some vehicles.
Toro mower at $15K is not capital. CEC requested that DPW move cars
(3@$28K) to operating since those have traditionally been operating
and not capital.
#3: Building Envelope, $315K. Items are based on the BFAC report.
Westview Cemetery, Munroe Cemetery bldg roof repairs, Park Dept Bldg
upgrades are $30K. ADA Ramp at TOB and curb cuts near schools at
$100K ($25K for curb cuts, $75K for TOB ramps). SS requested that
they show the breakdown between those on future reports. Visitor
Center replacement of electrical system at $75K. They want to upgrade
the entire system. TE: How necessary is this? Medlin: with computers
and A/C, load is high. Consultant has looked at the number and
validated it. RB: Possibly could put central A/C in and get some
NStar rebates. Fire station floor is $50K. Final results of
structural analysis is not completed w/ $ estimate in it. Floor is 10%
overstressed. Results of analysis will tell how much needs to be
spent on what. Fire station drainage, roof repairs, women's shower,
$60K from BFAC.
#4: $500K for streets. Roads are currently in 3rd year (just
finishing third year). Going well, expect completion in fall 06
unless unexpected wx occurs.
#5: $150K sidewalks. Wayne Brooks is Sidewalk Committee liason.
Mostly rennovations, but may try to put in some new sidewalks too. RB
asked about tree roots. Brooks said this is the biggest problem.
Sometimes they cut the roots, sometimes they go back and raise the
sidewalk gradually. Center sidewalks are not on this appropriation --
SWC and WB don't want to touch that since that seems to be more of a
project for BoS. SWC will give blessing to the list that Wayne comes
up with.
#6: Storm Sewer Improvements, $160K Per wishes of the BoS (last year)
this will be tax levy unsupported. NPDES = National Permit Discharge
Elimination. Survey Mapping aspect is part of NPDES process and is
$50-$65K of the $160K. Existing system is fair. They fell behind
last year. Our system is about a 3 on a 1-5 scale.
#7: Water Distribution. $900K. Last year was $0 because short of
labor and needed to catch up. DPW is comfortable with where we are
now and ready to continue the project. There are 350 lead services
(from street to home) in town. DPW will replace main to property
line. They test all schools. $1.38M available in 0% loans (from MWRA
& state aid). Could be taken that way instead of from W/S Ent
bonding. DPW wants to do another modelling system this year to
reevaluate the program.
#8: Sanitary Sewer, $300K. There's a $709K grant ($508K in 0% loans
-- MWRA for 10 years), $300K is to come up with a plan so that we can
get the grant.
Update on past project status.
They did Cary Hall (completed) and Police door openers (bids were
being opened that day). Traffic light at Lowell/Maple: waiting for
permit from state. The contract is ready to go. Concord/Waltham: ??
Sidewalks: Marrett Rd -- ready to talk to neighbors. Eddison Way --
ready to go. Snow loader bids were good. Other equipment sent out to
bid or ready to open bids. DPW feels they'll be ready for the winter.
DPW departs, Recreation enters.

#1: $50K - Center Pool study - Master Plan for what needs to be done
there with $800K in project money in FY10. This would come from
Rec. E/F. Study will have some design money and will take it to bid.
GB: do you need design money in FY09? May want to do $80K in FY09 and
$720K in FY10 in case FY07 master plan is obsolete.
#2: Center playground, $225K. Wood needs constant repair. Replace w/
non-wood structure. Tax Levy. Completion in fall/winter 06.
#3: $25 - Aerator (Rec Ent Fund) cash, not bond. CWL asks "How close
to $25K is this? But since it's cash, not BAN, and from Rec E/F, we
don't care too much. GB: Is Ent. Capital treated differently than
regular capital in terms of state statute?
GB to CEC: We should have a policy on whether out-years are in 06 $'s
or inflation adjusted.
Project update: Bang board not done yet, but will be done in the
spring. Adams is in progress. Rindge - fence is up, swing set in,
not complete yet (some site work remains).
Discussion of whether $144K in STM article 6 is justified. Bill and
CWL will tour roofs.
