2018-2019 Pipe Splitting Project
Mr. Gill presented exhibits outlining the areas that were picked for the 2018-2019 Pipe Splitting Project and a preliminary cost estimate. Mr. Gill stated as part of the Bondsville Road Apartment Project, which should begin late this year or early in 2019, the developer is required to upsize from MH 31-4 to MH31 from an 8” to 10” (approx. 800’). The developer is also required to relocate and install a new 8” PVC line from MH 31-8C to 31-8A (237’). The department is requesting that we do our portion from MH 31-8A to 31-4 (approx. 1600’) to close the loop and this section will now will then be completed. Mr. Gill stated we looked at doing it in phases (2018-2019), but decided to do the area which has limited in access, we should do this project all at once to limit that amount of times the area is disturbed. If the board finds this acceptable, the department would like to begin the preliminary engineering work this year. After discussion, it was the Board’s consensus for Mr. Gill and Mr. Dingman to begin the preliminary work for the 2018-2019 Pipe Splitting Project.
