There was a discussion on the change in location for the water main for the victory rehab project. This request was brought to the board at the May 27th meeting to relocate the water main from the center of Mennen Road as projected in the plans, to the south or west side of Mennen. It was reported at that time it would reduce the need to close the road down and repair that side of the road, which needs some repairs. It was determined at that time to proceed as plans called for. Steve Adams spoke of a letter from Schultz explaining the benefits of the relocating the main. This will eliminate the road being closed and the additional sub base material that would be required. Commissioner Pink asked if there was any proximity for the water and sewer pipes. Steve Adams stated that its usually 10’ but being these are both pressure rated it is not needed.
The service line to the MacMillans was also discussed because it was not in the original plans, it was also discussed to have the water tap done by the village dpw.
The fire hydrant that was to be replaced was also discussed. Due to the sewer force main in that area there may not be enough room to put the 6” gate valve between the main line tee and the hydrant. It was suggested to install the new hydrant and valve on Mennen road and leave the old hydrant where it is. The reason the old hydrant was going to be replaced was because of the packing is leaking. This would not require a change order to change the location.
Commissioner Colvin
made a motion to approve the relocation of the main from the middle of the road
to the south side of the road, also to leave the old hydrant where it is and
install the new hydrant down on Mennen Road, also that the Village DPW will
install the water tap for the MacMillans, this motion was seconded by
Commissioner George Kahnle, all ayes, motion passed.
There was a discussion on the MacMillan Property and a culvert pipe that they believe was in the easement for this project. It was determined that this was not in the easement. It was also determined that this could be a benefit as it would increase the amount of ground cover to prevent freezing. The water main would only have a 4’ cover and may be subject to freezing. This would not require a change order as the water board can provide the culvert pipe and they can include this in the installation of the water main, this is estimated to be about $1000 +/-. Steve Adams mentioned they may possibly need multiple 18” culvert barrels. Ed Shull explained that the culvert pipe would be cheaper than demobilizing, otherwise they would have to shut things down until they were able to get a resolution to this matter. Commissioner Colvin made a motion to authorized the culvert pipe to be provided by the water board for the MacMillan property and the installation be done by Schultz on a Time and Material basis for special fill like rip-rap and broken shale spoils or excess sand that will be needed, it was seconded by Commissioner Kahnle, all ayes, motion passed.
