PUBLIC HEARING

R-22-013

AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY TREASURER TO ISSUE BONDS NOT TO EXCEED SIX
MILLION TWO HUNDRED EIGHT THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS
($6,208,325) FOR THE CITY’S SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM AND SEWER
STRUCTURES

Chairman Dowd
Yes, today we have a Public Hearing on R-22-013 Authorizing the Mayor and the City Treasurer to Issue Bonds
not to Exceed $6,208,325 for the City’s Sewer Infrastructure Program and Sewer Structures. Is there anyone

here from DPW? | see Mr. Hudson.

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is the funding for the annual Sewer Program. This covers all of our pipe
reconstruction work so that they can actually dig up and replace a sewer pipe, or make a repair, or fix a structure,
as well as the CCTV and pipe lining work that we do. | believe everybody is familiar, but just for information
again, we look at about 80,000 lineal feet each year of our sewer pipe. We clean it. We inspect it with close
circuit television and if necessary due to condition, we line those pipes. We are in the process of looking at the
worse pipes in the city are basically the oldest pipes and pipes that are of a certain material that we more
frequently see issues with - like unreinforced concrete. | noted previously that that work is important to do
because first of all we’re looking at in pipes and cleaning pipes that may not have been looked at in 100 years.
So it’s important to look at those.

And secondly, anytime we can line a pipe and catch it before it becomes an urgent issue due to a collapse, its
significant cost savings. It costs about 20 times as much to dig up and replace a pipe as it does to do a lining. A
lining basically builds a pipe within a pipe. So this contract funds all those things. Last year we contracted with
SUR West. They did a bunch of pipe replacement and Green Mountain Pipeline Services who is doing the CCTV
and lining work as well with Hayner Swanson a local company to provide some engineering support for those
efforts. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Special Board of Aldermen 03-28-2022 Page 2

Chairman Dowd

Do any of the Alderman have questions for Mr. Hudson on this legislation? Seeing one, I'll open it up to the public
hearing.

TESTIMONY IN FAVOR

Laurie Ortolano

Laurie Ortolano, 41 Berkeley Street. So | have a couple of questions and | might have missed this because | was
trying to get my computer uploaded here. What areas of the city does this cover? | know that they are going to
repave our street. | believe they were doing site work to repave it and do gas lines, but | believe there is a fair number
of sewer pipe problems over there as well. Is it being looked at in the North End neighborhoods? And how are we
addressing that, I’m just curious?

Chairman Dowd

Mr. Hudson?

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

So yes the funding covers all areas of the City, but we are focusing our inspection efforts on the

oldest parts of the City. The sewer system was built out over time in the downtown to the outskirts. So the
downtown has most of the older pipes. As | said, there are pipes that are like unreinforced concrete pipes that
are problematic in the past, so we'll look at those. Right now we are looking at pipes typically older than the
1940's. As we progress the system, we'll start looking at newer and newer pipes until we get to pipes that meet
current standards and are in good condition.

We do this work hand-in-hand with the paving program. So whenever we are going to pave a street, we reach out
to all the utility companies - gas, water to screen the streets but we do the same thing internally. We video the
pipes on that street if there are pipes as noted in that condition that is potentially something that would be
concerned about. Certainly if there is any sewer issues, please forward those to the DPW. If there any sewer
issues that anyone is aware of, let us know and we'll take those very seriously.

Laurie Ortolano

Okay could | just follow on it for a quick second? So yes | will send an e-mail over to DPW because if they’re
going to pave the street and gas company came around and knocked on all the doors and said they were going to
do the gas pipes and then repave. It’s a neighborhood where the piping would be around 160 years old from the
1870’s homes up to 1900-1925. There’s definitely some interesting smells when you walk your dog through the
neighborhood. So | think there is some need, but it ought to be looked at. | just don’t want them to pave the road
and then find out there were piping problems. That's all. It just came to mind when | saw this but I’m in favor of it
and obviously we’ve got a lot of work to do and you guys are doing good work. Thank you.

Chairman Dowd

I’m sure DPW and the rest of the City would not want the streets dug up after we paved it. Any other testimony in
favor?

TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION - None

TESTIMONY IN FAVOR - None

TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION - None

Alderman Cathey

| apologize. | did just have one question if | may for Mr. Hudson. Mr. Hudson are you aware if any new pavement
would have to be ripped up and if so would that be covered by either the bonds or the paving program budget?

Special Board of Aldermen 03-28-2022 Page 3

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

Thank you. So clearly we want to avoid situations like that where we pave the street and then there is a sewer
issue and that requires digging up the street. When we have that issue, we follow the same moratorium
restoration requirements as anyone else would. We do everything we can to prevent that, but sometimes that
does happen. In that case, then that’s just what we would do, we would make the repair and/or line the rest of the
pipe and then do the pavement restoration. So we do our best to avoid it, but it is inevitable sometimes. Those
things happen.

Chairman Dowd

All set? Alderman Klee?

Alderman Klee

Thank you. Mr. Hudson I’m not recalling that particular street that the speaker spoke about is on the City’s paving
list. It is part of the gas company doing it and if they pave it will they be paving the entire road or will they just be

doing sections that they are digging up?

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

They would just be doing their trenches, but | believe they are doing that work in preparation for future pavement.
It may not be this year. It may be next year or it may be late this year if we have an opportunity to add some
roads. Yes when the utilities do their work, they do their work independently ahead of us but try to meet our
timelines and then we come in and pave after. So | assume they’re just doing their own trench restoration.

Alderman Klee

Just a quick follow up. Adding on to Alderman Cathey’s comments. If the City in doing their studies and so on
had decided that area, and that | do believe that areas does need to at least be looked at. It wasn’t that long ago
that some work was done in through that area and | think it actually created more issues than anything else. The
City would put off any paving they were doing until that work was completed, correct?

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

Yes, that’s correct. | mean we go through the screening process and we have plenty of streets that need paving
so we prefer not to do a street that gas, or water work, or sewer work is needed on. We would want to pave that
after. So yes, we do defer paving on streets for utility work regularly.

Alderman Klee

Thank you.

Alderman Comeau

Yes, thank you Mr. Chair. Mr. Hudson you mentioned that some of this work is going to be centered around
downtown. Is Main Street one of the roads that you’re looking at?

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

Thank you. Yes we are doing a deep dive on Main Street. Of course Main Street has some of the oldest stuff.
We have brick sewers which luckily have fared fairly well over the years. They did a good job building those and
those have held up. So surprisingly some of those old brick sewers haven't been as problematic as some of the
pipes, but yes we've been working with the utility companies. You’ve seen a lot of gas work on Main Street.
That’s all in anticipation of future paving. Water work as well and we’re doing a thorough investigation right now
on all the drainage and sewer pipes on Main Street.

Chairman Dowd

All set?

Special Board of Aldermen 03-28-2022 Page 4

Alderman Comeau

Thank you.
Chairman Dowd
Any others? Alderman Thibeault?

Alderman Thibeault

Thank you Mr. Chairman. Mr. Hudson just to follow up on Alderman Comeau’s question. So if you’re looking at
Main Street is that projected work? Could that be done this summer? You've talked about - and | don’t want to
open this question up because the town loves me right now but barrier wise would this work contradict any barrier
discussion? Do you know what I’m saying?

Dan Hudson, City Engineer

| know what you’re saying. We’re not planning to pave Main Street this year, but the utility work is underway. The
extended dining didn’t occur on March 15 so we've gained the benefit of a little additional time that they had been
working during the winter trying to wrap up gas main work before dining opens. So they’re getting close on that.
But yes, we are cognizant of the extended outdoor dining potential plans for that and are working our schedules
around it.

Alderman Thibeault

Great, thank you.

Chairman Dowd

Everyone all set?
