TB Resolution 20116-1104: Authorization to Award the Contract for the Pine "Gree Road

Whereas: The adopted 2016 Ithaca Town Budget included $250„000 for the rehabilitation
of Sanitary Sewers; and.
TB Study Session 7/25/2016 pg, I
Whereas: pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act
("SEQRA") and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by
the Town Board that approval, construction and implementation of the Pine Tree Road Backlot
Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project (the "Improvement" or "Project") are a Type R Action
because the Action constitutes "replacement, rehabilitation or reconstruction of a structure or
facility, in kind, on the same site," and thus approval, construction and implementation of the
Improvement are not subject to review under SEQRA; and
Whereas: On July 20, 2016, the Director of Public Works/Highway Superintendent
(Director)received bids for the Project; and
Whereas: The Director has reviewed the bids and qualifications of the bidders and has
determined the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $183,375.00 was made by the lowest
responsible bidder, Kenyon Pipeline Inspection LLC, 68 Park Road, Queensbury, NY 12804;
now therefore be it
Resolved: That the Town Board hereby authorizes the award of the contract for the Town
of Ithaca Pine Tree Road Backlot Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project to Kenyon Pipeline
Inspection LLC; and be it further
Resolved: that the Town Supervisor is authorized to execute such contract subject to
approval of the final contract documents by the Town Engineer and Attorney for the Town; and
be it further
Resolved: that the Director is authorized to approve change orders to such contract upon
receipt of appropriate justification provided the maximum amount of such change orders shall
not in the aggregate exceed $18,000.00 without prior authorization of this Board, and provided
further that the total project cost, including contract, engineering, legal, inspection, and other
expenses, does not exceed the maximum authorized cost of $201,375.00 for the project, and
authorizes and directs the Town Finance Officer to record the appropriate budgetary amendment.
Moved: Rod Howe Seconded: Rich DePaolo
Vote: Ayes—Howe, DePaolo, Hunter, Leary, Levine, Goodman and Bleiwas
5. Discussion items
a. 5 Year Plan - Capital Projects
Mr. Goodman noted that most board members,if not all,have seen this at the Budget
Committee. Some things have been moved around due to the staffing change in Engineering.
Mr. Weber added that the Pine Tree Road Water Tank is still up in the air because we are waiting
for the report from GHD and more information from Cornell University.
TB Study Session 7/25/2016 pg. 2
Ms. Hunter asked if there was an average amount of debt that we are retiring each year or are we
accumulating debt and Mr. Solvig responded that we are accumulating debt and putting out more
debt than we are retiring.
Ms. Hunter asked why the Gradall went from$92K to$350K and Mr. Weber responded that we
purchased that one used and we did not propose to purchase another one used.
Mr. DePaolo asked a question around the same lines, saying that he thought some of the inflation
assumptions are quite dramatic. He asked what the underlying assumption was for the marked
increase in things like the Dump Truck Plow, which has more than doubled in price in only eight
years. Mr. Solvig responded that the last one was about$215K. Mr. DePaolo asked Mr.Weber
if there is an industry resource to go to and try and get accurate inflation information for this type
of machinery or how do you guess? Mr. Solvig responded that he uses a 2% for light duty, 3%
for medium duty and 4% for heavy duty unless there is a recent purchase that shows that it is
higher. Mr. Weber stated that we are limited in our options and the emission standards and all
the computerization of vehicles is the reason for the sharp increase. He added that he refers to
what we have paid in the past and then talks to vendors.
Mr. Goodman turned to road improvements and noted that we have raised taxes to cover a lot of
these costs and Mr. Solvig added that with the decrease in asphalt costs,we will probably not
have to bond for anything next year,but most of the time it is around$300K that we would bond
for.
b. Empire State Incentive Proposal
Ms. Ritter noted that Susan Brock and the Economic Development Committee has seen the RFP
and approved it. The proposal is very similar to the draft and RFP. She noted that we will not be
paid until the end of the project and it is a 50/50 match.
TB Resolution 2016- 105: Authorization for Town Supervisor to sign the Empire State
Development Incentive Proposal accepting grant funding and terms of agreement for the
Elmira Road/Inlet Valley corridor project
Whereas, on July 13, 2015 the Ithaca Town Board authorized the Town Supervisor to file a grant
application to the Empire State Development's (ESD) Urban and Community Development
Program for funding to conduct an economic development feasibility study and develop a
strategic plan for the Elmira Road/Inlet Valley corridor, and
Whereas,the Town received a letter from the ESD on December 11, 2015 providing notification
that the Town had been recommended for an award of up to$30,000, and
Whereas,the Town has received an Incentive Proposal from the ESD which outlines the general
terms and conditions of the incentive package being offer by ESD to assist with the Elmira
Road/Inlet Valley corridor project, and
TB Study Session 7/25/2016 pg. 3
