ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
Water Plant Drive
Carryall Township has cancelled ITS scheduled chip seal work for this fall. Ward Construction had planned ON DOING Waterplant Drive at the same time. At this time, they do not know when or if they will be able to get to it before the weather becomes unfavorable. They will touch base if the weather is still favorable at the end of October.
Harrmann Drive
Pioneer Lines said they are waiting on the easement agreement from Paulding County. Depending upon when they receive it, the project could be pushed out into 2022. They are also seeing supply chain issues for materials (6-to-12-week lead time). If it goes into 2022, they will probably wait until May or June, after school is out.
Water Tower
We should hear back from the state on our application by the end of October, mid-November.
Shaffer Road
Shaffer Road Slip Funding Scenarios are listed below. Council will need to provide direction ON WHICH OPTION TO PURSUE. The estimated project cost for the Shaffer Road Slip repair rangeS FROM $1,385,153 TO $1,508,681. This includes construction and engineering and geotechnical services. Funding Options are as follows:
Scenario #1
Ohio Public Works Commission (Emergency Infrastructure Funding)-$250,000; CDBG Critical Infrastructure-$500,000; or
Scenario #2
CDBG Critical Infrastructure-$500,000; OPWC SCIP or LTIP Funding-$500,000; Grant-$500,000, 0% interest Loan.
Scenario #1 could be implemented with applications filed at the end of 2021 with construction in the Spring of 2022. Scenario #2 could be implemented with the CDBG Application being filed in September of 2022 and the OPWC Application being filed in September of 2022. Construction could be bid and awarded on July 1, 2023. Obviously, scenario #2 produces the most funding, but requires a delay in project implementation. We will need to bid the project to include engineering on a quality-based selection. Maumee Valley will assist in creating the documents required to do so. COUNCIL MEMBERS NOTED PREFERENCE FOR SCENARIO #2 OPTION.
Stone Street Lift STATION
The ordinance to purchase has been approved. Once the owner provides us with an updated mortgage release, we can move to closing.
Catch Basin/Manholes
Repairing or replacing catch basins and manholes from the village limits on the north end of Main Street to the curve at Canal Street took place the week of October 4th. Two catch basins were found to have no drainage outlets. The contractor at our request backfilled the holes and concreted the opening closed. In total, 9 catch basins were replaced, two removed and filled, and 3 manholes raised. Estimated cost for the project is $35,450.00. Anticipated actual cost should be lower than the estimate.
Metalink
Metalink was in the village on October 6th to complete the fiber installation and training oN the new phones. They were only able to complete EMS and Fire Building. the balance of village phones were switched over October 18th.
Dollar General-Hops Sidewalk
THE ADMINISTRATOR IS in the process of filing an application for a new ODOT program entitled Systemic Safety Program, which specifically addresses pedestrian and roadway departure issues/concerns. THIS would be a good fit for this project. THE ADMINISTRATOR WILL follow-up with Maumee Valley to determine what information is required to apply, as well as obtaining an up-to-date estimate.
Water Plant
THE ADMINISTRATOR AND Curtis NESTLEROAD met with Jones & Henry ENGINEERS ON SEPTEMBER 27TH to discuss current building and equipment inventory, our expectations, needs, and wants as it pertains to the actual footprint, and operation of the facility. Curtis provided them with 3 years Monthly Operating Reports including chemical feed dosages, raw water quality at each well and capacity, information on existing utilities, existing site plans, overview of typical operations – control logic, O&M, daily operations, distribution system – Maps and Tower elevation (need to establish high service pressure requirements), future development plans, and known concerns with water quality (hardness, T&O, etc). WE will be visiting a similar plant in Ashley, Indiana in the coming weeks so we can better understand what the basic layout would look like.
