Water & Sewer Commission Meeting

Video

Need is a motion in a second level.
Maybe we all want to
make sure everybody's on board, and
I invited Jake
in case somebody had questions.
I'm just curious on how they
justify that much money.
That's a big chunk of change.
Change order.
Oh, it's open trenching.
There's open trenching. However,
I'm kind of think
we anticipated something like that
from the beginning.
Can you hear us, Jake?
Maybe Jake can help in on that?
It never was 100%.
The design for
this piece up in Georgia's Mills was never
completed until now.
So there was no
where I thought there was an allowance
for what they thought they were going to do, and it obviously
wasn't enough. Now that
they know nuts and bolts of what it is, they're going to be doing.
And Holly has apparently
got that hidden way
somewhere, so we're going to be able to...
That's the other question
here. It does
bring the project
over the
loans
from the state, so
there will have to be some discussion on
where those funds
to cover the difference
are going to come from.
What's the job?
Here's somewhere.
Meaning there's a
the approximate amount that we're going to have to come off.
What we have left of the loan, according to the original S-U-R contract and the change orders,
and what we have with Bosin-O-Neo under contract, there's $62,640 dollars left, and this amounts
to $178,036.36.
Meaning we need to come up with $115,400-ish dollars from some other place.
Jake sees something different.
Is there any contingency that we've missed in this?
Contingency's in the whole project.
Do we have any contingency with that?
The commission will have to figure out where to come up with the second.
money if they want to continue with these two alternatives.
Well, I think we could do the one easily, because that's only $15,000780, but it's the bigger
one by the store that is the larger chunk of change.
Yeah, well, it's just coming from my laptop, so I think I'm maxed out.
I don't know, does Dave, do you have any thoughts on the paving?
And the paving of Lower Main Street. There's been a lot of chatter from the highway guys, paving Lower Main Street.
Maybe we can work out something with them to do something. Perhaps we could not do anything with the paving this year.
I think that the contractors are planning to come back here in the next couple of weeks to make something happen.
But if we didn't, if we left it alone and use the monies that would be put into the paving to maybe work with the highway and have them
help them either grind it or do whatever they want to do with Main Street to make it look nicer for everybody.
Rather than going through and paying it, grinding half of it and leaving it to them to do the other
half next year. Doesn't seem like it seems like maybe that's not the way it should work.
Just throwing it out there. Seems like us doing extra work that doesn't need to be done.
The road is not that bad right now. I'm not sure how well it's going to fare through the winter, but it fared pretty decent last winter, so I suspect it'll be all right.
as good as it can be until spring.
That's up to you guys.
Just throwing it out as maybe we should...
It's kind of late notice.
All of this is very...
For West.
But I'm just...
Well, I mean, what we need to do here tonight is vote...
We can vote in this alternate.
And then you guys are going to have to work behind the scenes
to figure out how to get the bill today.
That's kind of your job.
I think if you vote to go ahead with the change order, you also have to vote that you plan to take the money from the Capital Improvement Capital Reserve.
And that's an option we can do.
I brought the balance in the water department's capital improvement capital reserve is 170.
$1,000 more or less.
And what did I say, we needed to come up with, $115?
Yeah, it was the easiest solution.
Yeah.
So I would make the motion to approve this change order.
Do we have to sign off on this, Jake?
Like, before they mobilize on Thursday?
Mm-hmm.
I need a motion.
Make money out of capital improvements?
I would say to enter into this change order and the money coming out of the capital improvement.
I make a motion to approve alternates four and five, or just five.
Alternates four and five for an additional $15,780 and $162,256.
Two alternates for the water replacement and the amount to come out of the capital improvements.
Any more discussion on this matter?
The only thing I have to say is, oh, hang on, Jake was saying something.
The pair, we're even wearing course down that they were going to do down.
He's 105 now.
$5,000. So if we can get together with the highway guys and try to, maybe we even put an article in the warrant to help them with the paving of that whole mining of that whole lower meat stream next year.
We can share that project.
So the 105 is what you'd knock off of this number?
Is that what you're saying?
But more or less, if you, if Erica agrees and they haven't already paid a deposit or whatever, they get the papers here, then.
Yeah, they call off the pavers that are coming.
I don't see any reason why they wouldn't go along with that.
Because this way, you're doing a band-aid fix down there.
That's it. They're probably going to tear all up in another year or so.
Do it again.
So it doesn't make sense for, I mean, that would be my feeling that, well, listen,
we'll come together next spring with some sort of an article that helps them with the paving,
at least comes up with that much money that goes toward the paving that way,
they want to pay the whole, the highway driver want to pay the whole nut, you know, I think it wouldn't make sense.
Numbers are sorry.
It's okay.
This is rather important.
If we have a, if we don't do one of these road crossings and we have a leak in the middle of Route 11,
this number's going to look tiny.
Yeah, Jeff.
It'll be an emergency and we'll have to fix it, like, overnight.
Yeah.
So.
Could be with frost in the ground as well.
Could be.
It never happens at the,
Quaintest time.
Yeah, right.
Correct. So I
don't like the number, but
I don't think we've got much choice.
That's
all my two cents that I have to say.
So if you guys are all set, I'll call below.
There ain't anything that? Does nobody say anything?
All those in favor signify by saying aye.
Aye. Opposed?
Attention.
Pass as unanimity.
We have any older new business?
Yes. We do.
A little bit. A little.
So we have, we think we've come up with a van to replace the other van.
Your pony, I need to get okay to spend 64,590 bucks.
About better than 90, you thought last time.
Yeah, and that's the van.
We're going to use more money for putting the lights on and radio, shit like that in there.
But this will get started with the promise that it fits in the garage door.
Sounds like it's going to be perfect, but we've got to get okay to spend the money before we can.
Do you want a motion to do that money?
I say we get the quote in hand.
Have the coal.
Well, I don't.
And I left it on my kid, pretty one here today if you want me.
I don't remember what that number.
was it's 64,590 where an article was for if you're not ready we can just do it at
the regular meeting well I just need okay to order it oh go ahead and order it
okay anybody anybody get a problem with an order in the van because we won't
be spending the money for a few minutes anyway I think you need to make a motion
to go ahead okay just say a motion to make a motion to secure the
the money of the name.
Motion to secure 64,09,000, whatever it was, dollars for the purchase of the van.
We'll second.
Do you have any questions?
Hearing none, all wills in favor, signify by saying aye.
Aye.
Opposed?
Sentions?
Good.
Fantastic.
I was going to say, Dave, that's it.
No more.
We're shutting you off.
Very short.
Anyway, you won't.
There is one more thing.
There is.
Okay.
I think.
You're just going to say, you're not going to say any much else.
So a letter was sent to the people on Job's Creek Road,
and to make sure that it was approved by our lawyer.
Our lawyer to their lawyer, I suspect, went from me to their lawyer.
It's fact that we will hear.
It's a letter.
Their lawyer letter, yeah.
they sent the lawyer letter and kind of feel like we got to respond.
And this was, what, on the cottages?
This is the second owner.
It has had to be granted to them about fixing the problem.
Now we're getting mired into it again.
Yeah, I mean, I looked into it a little.
I think there's issues there.
There's a deadline.
They have to fix it.
Yeah, and I think we've got some strength here.
Yep.
So, all right, so we're going to meet again on August 27th, coming right down the line.
I neglected to get you to sign that.
You weren't at the last meeting.
It was voted for you to sign it.
Today, say?
Sure.
I called the state to say, I'm sorry, it's late, and can you still give us the grant money?
And they said, yeah.
And you went.
Who?
It's like, too.
So while we got Jake, today, we've been.
Today, we've been locating the water line in front of the Georgia's Mill store.
It looks like there's not going to be work underneath the concrete slab for the store.
It looks like the domain is out under the street side of the modal sign is about approximately where that is in front of there.
So I don't think it's going to be.
that big a deal. I think we're going to be
fine going down to street there.
Okay.
That's good.
Is that?
Motion to adjourn.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jake.
I was in favor.
Signify by saying all I.
Hi.
All right.
You do that in a quick.
There is.
Yeah.
A ride in a cool car.
Is that what you're going to do?
I don't think he knows it yet.
I don't think he said it to anybody
that there is a meeting tomorrow,
construction meeting.
We're at a construction meeting tomorrow.
One to two.
If anybody is so interested,
it's kind of hard to get things going when you get an email on Monday that says we want to start on Thursday.
And wasn't there another meeting with the select for meeting with the selectmen?
