Chairman Cookson
Wonderful. Any additional requests of Ms. Osborn this evening? Is that good for everybody as far as setting
expectations? Wonderful. Ms. Osborn, the floor is yours.
Ms. Osborne
All right. We have a vast number of major projects to run through. A lot of them have already come before this
board and some are going to be new but have been ferreted out in the budget process. The first one is the
headworks project which is well under construction. The update on that we have two channels where we’re
getting new barer screens and wash presses. One is complete and in use and the other is expected to begin
on August 21*. We're going to begin the demolition on that. The next project is the HVAC upgrade — another
one that’s well underway in construction. We have most of the demolition has occurred. Most of the duct work
has been installed. Currently we’re insulating and conduits being installed. We're awaiting the delivery of the
SAU units for the rooftop installation. Yard hydrant project. We're awaiting construction startup that’s been
awarded. We have a preconstruction meeting next week so that’s going to be starting with a lot of disarray at
the plant for a couple of months. The next one to talk about is digester cleanout. That’s where we're cleaning
out that primary digester. This is in the beginning phase right now. It’s out to bid currently. We're looking at
also dewatering, cleaning the roof tanks. The rooftop storage tanks for the sludge. That’s going to be a little
bit of — of course major projects are not without upheaval right. So there’s a little bit of disarray going on at the
treatment plant. SCADA upgrade. That’s our computer system that controls all of the equipment. That is
going out to bid in September hopefully. The design is complete. We're just waiting on the yay, okay from the
NH Department of Environmental Services. Pump station came before you guys | believe about a month ago.
That’s out for final design now. We're waiting for, again, NH DES to give us the signed contract so we can get
that kicked off. Primary tank upgrades is in preliminary design phase. The consultants are starting the
evaluation for this design and we’re taking some trips to see the equipment at other treatment facilities and
talking to some operators to see how it works in the real world.
Chairman Cookson
What was the name of that company that we have doing that for us?
Ms. Osborne
For the primary upgrades is Right Pierce. The water booster station is in preliminary design phase. We had
an evaluation report done Woodard and Curran. It’s been approved and now we’re moving forward on the
design of that. The final major project is the energy recovery generator which we put out for the RFQ process.
We're working on the awarding phase of that. So we’re negotiating the price right now. Those are the major
projects. I’m going to stop right there in case anybody has any questions on any of those.
Chairman Cookson
ls Woodward and Curran are they only involved in the project management or are they involved in any other
aspect? They were going to submit themselves for the bid is that correct?
Ms. Osborne
They are only doing design. They're not doing any construction. The next part of what | had prepared for you
is | looked ahead on our work list — our wastewater equipment repair fund list for all of the FY18 current items.
I’m going to run through those quickly. | don’t have prices on any of this because we haven't done that phase
yet but we have the primary thicken drain values times two. We have two of those. Primary digester sump
pump times two. Two cranes are scheduled for replacement on site; two grit roll off containers; three
heating/cooling pumps; some instrumentation in wet weather; pressure monitoring assemblies in the wet
weather facility; turbid meters in the wet weather times two; PH meters again times two. We have the Kubota
tractor that’s scheduled for replacement; street sweeper; two trucks and a car; a portable generator; and
