Adams, Administrative Services Director Ashley Wimberly, Public Works Director Frank Powers, Police Chief John Bethune, Fire Chief William Baker, Parks & Recreation Director Brandon Harris, Assistant Parks & Recreation Director Josh Perry, Planning & Inspections Christy Norris, Youth Programs AGENDA ITEM Administrative Reports. ITEM SUMMARY Monthly reports covering administrative and department activities, financial summaries and public utility usage information RECOMMENDED ACTION Receive information and direct staff, if applicable. AGENDA ITEM #4 CAPITAL PROJECTS UPDATE SCIF Grants Downtown Facilities Stewart, Inc. is continuing to work on the construction drawings for Downtown. Staff has received cost estimates from Duke Energy for relocation of utilities. The Town has entered into a contract with Duke Energy including a non-refundable deposit of $90K. The Town is awaiting actual cost for construction for underground utilities. Staff is continuing to work closely with Ducke Energy and Pike. McAdams has incorporated Stewart’s drawings, the Golden Leaf Project will be the first completed in Downtown. There are a few final comments/adjustments but they are minor and will not take long to complete. Duke Energy has completed the drawings and are currently being reviewed. Staff will be meeting with Duke Energy and Pike Engineering in the coming weeks to determine next steps. Pike Engineering is continuing to work on pedestrian and roadway lighting. Pike Engineering is doing both the roadway lighting and the parking lot lighting. Currently, Pike is deployed in the Western part of NC and are unsure of their return date. This will impact the Town’s project. Stormwater Resiliency Funds Staff was notified that the State allocated $3.5 million for Stormwater infrastructure improvements and stream restoration, to provide more efficient stormwater management and flood resiliency. Project components will include stormwater management, replacing undersized culverts, and stabilizing streambanks to improve flood resiliency. Projects: 1. Downtown Stormwater Improvements • Design construction documents have been submitted to the Town and are currently under review. • Consultants are coordinating with the railroad RJ Corman to put in an additional crossing. • Environmental consultants are currently studying the proposed location for the pond. 2. Duncan Street • The contractor is making additional repairs on Duncan Street outside of the original scope to fix some other outstanding stormwater issues in the area 3. Railroad Crossing • Staff is currently waiting on 100% construction drawings to present to RJ Corman to determine what portion of the project they are willing to partner with. The pipe under the railroad belongs to RJ Corman and they are responsible for the replacement and maintenance. 4. 13th Street Reservoir • McAdams is recommending upsizing the northernmost culvert crossing on S 13th Street to dual RCBC box culverts to eliminate roadway overtopping for the 10 and 25-Year design storms. Although this recommendation is a slight deviation from the 15’W x 6’H RCBC, which is listed as the preferred design alternative (#2) in the previous Town of Lillington Stormwater Assessment, it will better maintain existing stream geometry and lend to more feasible construction and procurement of materials. • Working towards obtaining 401/404 permitting • Easement exhibits are underway and must be obtained before soliciting for bid • Staff submitted damages from Hurricane Debby to the North Carolina Department of Emergency Management in hopes the project will be covered under Hurricane Debby damages, but the state decided to not pursue a major disaster declaration. ***During Hurricane Debby Golden Leaf Application Stormwater Harnett Street Project Description: The proposed storm drainage improvements would include removal and replacement of existing storm drainage pipe, ranging from 15” RCP to 30” RCP, and removal and replacement of storm drainage structures, including catch basins, drop-inlets, storm drainage manholes, and storm drainage headwalls. The proposed storm drainage infrastructure will effectively capture storm runoff, convey stormwater efficiently inside public right-of-way, and increase the level of service of the storm drainage system. In addition, private storm drainage infrastructure would be relocated to the Town Right-of-Way to allow for easier access for future maintenance and inspections. The probable cost of this project is $1.3 million, the Town has agreed to contribute $250,000 to the project. The Golden Leaf Grant Agreement was approved in June. A project ordinance confirming the Town’s financial contribution was approved at the August Regular Meeting. Staff is working closely with McAdams to get the project moving forward. Construction Drawings are mostly completed for this project and has already undergone one review by staff. Fire Station #3 Town staff has finalized the design of Fire Station #3. Construction of Fire Station #3 will be solicited for bid and a CMP will be presented to the Town for approval. Currently, Davenport is working with Town staff to get LGC approval in January for the financing of the station. ARPA S.L. 2022-74 Appropriated Projects All documentation was submitted to the State to fund the Hwy 210 sewer line expansion and Southern Regional Sanitary Sewer/Poorhouse Creek installation of new sanitary sewer interceptor and regional pump station. The total allocation was $9,250,000. Staff has received the offer and acceptance letter from the Department of Water Infrastructure. a. Hwy 210 Sewer line Project Temple Grading signed the NTP August 14, 2023. Construction has begun and is on- going. Force main has been pressure tested and construction is complete. Pump station structures are complete and electrical. Gravity work is currently underway. All work is now scheduled to be complete by the end of December, after approval of change order #3. Temple has now submitted Change Order #3 for contract #1. Change order #3 includes increasing the contract by 85 calendar days and a price increase of $16,202.17. The change order accounts for the Tripp Road changes and adjustments. b. Poorhouse Creek Meyers Engineering submitted all construction drawings and permits to DWI. The construction portion of the project was approved by DWI, as long as all easements are acquired. Easement acquisition is underway and progressing. Currently, the Town is solicitating for bids for the project. The bid opening took place at Town Hall on September 24, 2024 at 10:00 am. Staff only received two bids, since the project is in the formal bidding range three bids must be received in order to hold the bid opening.
