Mr. Engman also requested an executive session to discuss the possible acquisition of real property whose value might be affected by disclosure at this point. Consider Approval of Amendment #9 to the Capital Project Engineering Services Agreement for Septage Facility Design and Bid Package for the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Plant TB RESOLUTION NO. 2012 - 119: Approve Amendment # 9 to the Capital Project Engineering Services Agreement for Septage Facility Design and Bid Package at Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Plant. WHEREAS the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Plant is in need of certain Capital Improvements and WHEREAS Capital Project 409J Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Plant was authorized by Ithaca Town Board in 2007 for $1,504,950 and WHEREAS in order for the staff to maintain its goals as embodied in its five year capital plan, amendment #9 provides additional engineering services for completion of a design to renovate the existing septage receiving facility and WHEREAS the scope of this amendment has been drafted to accommodate changes in the design associated with facilities needed to accept food waste and changes in the bid package to deal with handling materials potentially contaminated by a manufactured gas plant operated in the early 1900s and WHEREAS this authorization for an amount not to exceed $44,683.10 will allow GHD Stearns and Wheler to complete the design and bid package for the Septage Receiving Facility and WHEREAS the allocation of costs for previously authorized engineering services contract for this project (409J) to GHD Stearns and Wheler is as follows: Original Contract #1 $74,000 Adopted 7/9/2012 TB 06-25-2012 Page 2 of 20 Amendment #2 7,000 Amendment #3 35,500 Amendment #4 14,000 Amendment #5 $135,500 Amendment #6 $00000* Amendment #7 $10,000 Amendment #8 $33,500 $309,500 * Amendment #6 not authorized, not acted on.

Board Questions Mr. DePaolo thanked Ms. Cahill and asked her about statements from the Emerson consultant that there are areas of concerns that were not tested and he asked if they would be. Ms. Cahill asked for additional information and Mr. DePaolo responded that he was handed some paperwork by a Mr. Hang and maybe she would be able to interpret them better than he. He gave them to her and she knew what they were. (Attachment #2) He Ms Cahill responded that all the areas have been investigated and there are recorded decisions on file and the results published. There are lots and lots of reports and the information is available to the public and the board but not something she could quote right now without researching. Mr. DePaolo asked about the fire water reservoir and questioned why the South Hill School was not even shown on the map, even though some pollutants associated with Emerson and NCR had been detected there,and Ms. Cahill stated that the reservoir and the school were tested very, very TB 06-25-2012 Page 4 of 20 extensively and no mitigation or remediation was needed at the school. They did not single out and state the name of the school in many of the reports to avoid misunderstandings and stigma that may be attached to it. Mr. Horwitz asked about her comment that offsite areas were not Emersons responsibility and Ms. Cahill explained that there are voluntary and involuntary aspects to brownfield determinations. He asked if it was her opinion that the contamination was still spreading and she stated it was not. She added that if contamination is found in Therm groundwater the investigation will be widened. Many houses were tested and many mitigated even though they did not meet the minimum level. Emerson did that on their own. Ms. Hunter asked about the state versus federal contamination tipping points and Ms. Cahill responded that it is not a simple answer because New York State uses a matrix approach so there is no one number. Persons to be heard Walter Hang Mr. Hang went over his handout and felt strongly that the Emerson site has never been cleaned properly in the 26 years or so since the issue started. He contends that the mitigations done so far were done at the wrong level in the ground and therefore are incomplete and inadequate. He went on to say that the contamination is migrating downhill and the consultants did not check the areas of concern he has indicated in his handout and he urged the Board to require more extensive testing and cleanup. Pine Tree Road Herb presented some of the information as he understood it because there has been the assumption that if there is a project with just the walkway there will be enough money but that is no the case; he read off money allocations/estimates from the original grant. Cornell had said they would put up to $200K for the entire project and when approached, said they would not contribute that amount for just the walkway portion. Their ususal practice is to match what the municipalities put in which would be another $35K and that would not meet the costs at all and the federal monies would go away because the walkway alone is not what they approved/funded. In reality, the town and county gets 1.5 million in construction projects that he felt would have to be down the road eventually and just because there is some money in the pot for the walkway, that money may not be there if the bridge and road work are not done. Christa Bissell Ms. Bissell reiterated what she had written to the Board, maintaining that it was initially a grant for beautification and was presented as a bike and pedestrian path. She and her neighbors are concerned about increased traffic, speed, safety and quality of life on their end of Pine Tree Road. George Conneman TB 06-25-2012 Page 5 of 20 Mr. Conneman stated that “the county and Mr. Lampman must be lying then because they say there is money there for the bike ways and paths.” He felt that replacing the bridge is crazy and the cleaning of the sides could easily be done to help with safety of bicyclists. He repeated the rumor that Cornell wants a new, prettier bridge to serve as the entrance to Cornell’s East Village plans and what we really need is a traffic study that uses our real traffic not some simulated one based on standard traffic given our population. Inaudible A gentleman added that there are two problems with the current design because it requires that pedestrians or bikers coming from the south have to cross the street. If one wants to connect East Hill and the Plaza and Cornell there is a possibility to put some section on the east side. The other option is to simply clean up to expand the area; if it is a safety issue, just clean it which will widen the area available to cyclists. (Clerk could not hear/understand much of his comments at the meeting or on the audio. Unfortunately the gentleman had a strong accent and pulled away from the microphone often) Mr. Engman added that one of the main reasons for the cost increase is the wish to make the paths and walkways handicap accessible and 8’ wide. Discuss and Consider Resolution in Support of Tompkins County’s Grant Application for Additional Funding for Pine Tree Road Multi Modal Project Draft resolution was moved by Bill Goodman, seconded by Pat Leary for discussion. Mr. DePaolo started the discussion by saying that the Town committed to the design phase and he is not sure that is done or finished and having seen the design, he is not satisfied. He was not aware that there already were 5’shoulders and he was told that 5’ is safe for bimodal access. He went on to say that he had and interesting conversation with Fernando DeAragon from the County who said that the state funding doesn’t exist, and that the federal money comes from enhancement money which can only be used outside the white lines. That does include the bridge, but it is not clear to either him or Fernando if the money would disappear if the scope of the project changed. There has been no exploration of options and associated funds for changes. Mr. DePaolo did not understand why we are spending so much money to fix the bridge when it doesn’t need it and when we could accomplish the stated goal, which is to improve multi-modal transportation, without altering the bridge. In his opinion, the only unknown at this point is if we were to try and advance a proposal under the condition that a project was designed with the current bridge in place, whether Cornell would make either their land or their money unavailable. It was not clear to him what they would do, but he felt that we have committed a small amount of money to this project to determine it would take shape and if it is not taking shape, and if it is not taking shape in such a way that does not honor the commitment that we made in the 2007 Transportation Study, which was to cyclists and pedestrian safety and access and to minimizing dependence on automobiles, it should not be supported. The project seems to focus on automobile traffic and to make it easier for heavier and larger traffic and he felt we could accomplish our goal without it. TB 06-25-2012 Page 6 of 20 Mr. Horwitz expressed his opposition. He stated that Mr. Lampman told him the bridge was being replaced because distance between current bridge abutments was narrower than the width of the road and that posed a danger for bicyclists. Mr. Horwitz felt that was a totally inadequate justification for spending $370,000 of public funds. As evidence, Mr. Horwitz stated that Waite Ave in the city is used by many bicyclists to go to and from the Cornell campus and it has a curb to curb distance more than 8 feet narrower than the current distance between the bridge abatements under discussion. He stated that he has bicycled on Waite Ave many times and has never had any problems and has never heard of any bicycle problems there or any calls to widen the street. He asserted that that in his opinion, there are many very pressing needs for funds, and legislators have a responsibility and duty to ensure that state and federal money is not spent on such unimportant projects. Ms. Leary stated that she was on the Transportation Committee that drew up the report and she did not feel that the commitment to multi-modal transportation rules out vehicle traffic. Mr. Engman stated that he bikes, runs and walks many time under that bridge and he gets a feeling of danger because although you may have a total of 5’, when you are on a bike you need a foot from the abutment or your pedal may bump and your body is 2’ wide and then what do you do when a truck comes by with those large protruding mirrors. He stated that when ever he is on a road, he is always scanning for where to bail in the case of someone not paying attention and you do not have that option under this bridge. He felt it really was a dangerous place and we should be doing everything we can. He added that someone stated that there are some bikers who will stay in the middle of the street but there are others that simply do not want to ride on the street and they want off-road options and the way this project is designed, it would give it to them. He went on to say that questions were brought up about costs and in the original proposal in 2010 the costs were: bridge replacement $370K path to the north $53K, the path to the south $86K, Pine Tree Road work itself $205K, stormwater treatment $20K, landscaping $40K, utility locations not determined, flag people etc. $38K, right-of-way costs not determined, survey $12K, contingency $115K and planning and design $100K. That totals $1million. It was not for any one item and the costs have escalated since 2010 due to inflation and the ROW costs have come in, the realignment of the bridge and costs to improve pedestrian path design and reduced slopes and improved paving material for easier maintenance. He asked Mr. Lampman to come up and verify those costs. John Lampman , County Highway Mr. Lampman recognized those numbers as costs reported at the second public meeting and they have inflation added now. He added that their attempt with this grant is to address shortfalls in the current grant and do the full scope of the original grant. Mr. Lampman described some of the designs that have been looked at and rejected for one reason or another such as running the paths further onto Cornell land and farther away from the road but Cornell rejected that as well as the changing of the grade to make it ADA accessible which adds quite a bit of cost. TB 06-25-2012 Page 7 of 20 The state government is encouraging them to look at all option; for example if they did a rehab proposal design which did not meet the ancillary benefit of the bridge reconfiguration which included widening the underpass and raising the clearance, that might be a problem because there have been accidents that may affect in the area that the state might consider. If we are cutting back on the objectives of the project, there is the possibility that they would consider not funding the project. As far as Cornell, they have expressed that they would reconsider their commitment if it was scaled down. He said it before that money is there to do the walkway and paths without the bridge changes, but not if Cornell were to withdraw their funding commitment. Ms. Leary noted that a bridge can last a 100 years and we should not consider transportation needs that far in the future and raising the height of the bridge. Mr. Goodman asked if it was correct that the bridge will allow dump trucks and other large vehicles through but does not allow 18-wheeler types right now. Mr. Lampman stated that the maximum height is 13.6’ but it is posted at 12.5’ and typical dump trucks and the like are at that limit. Mr. Goodman went on to say that in his mind, the action before the Board tonight is to support the County trying to get the grant but we are not committing to anything. He did not feel comfortable second guessing the county or the state and federal on judging what is worthy and we might as well go after the funds instead of going to someone else. He felt there were great benefits to this project for pedestrians and the Town by spending only $35K and traffic calming measures could be looked at for the other end of Pine Tree Road. From the town’s perspective, it is beneficial to many and this action is simply support for going for the funding. Mr. DePaolo felt there was a flaw in that logic because he didn’t think we should be looking at this as a package deal. He felt it would be implied through our support that we support the current plan and although Mr. Goodman says we are just voting on going for the funds we are implying that we support the plan and it takes away our ability to “force” the County to explore other designs. Ms. Hunter asked if this was a time sensitive issue because she was uncomfortable taking action on items at a study session that the public may not be as aware of to come and voice opinions as well as having not having seen the plans. She thought that there was a way to go over the bridge rather than under the bridge and we are focusing on the safety of going under when there is an option of improving access to go over the bridge. nd Mr. Lampman stated that there is a deadline of July 2 for the grant and the County Highway Department has been instructed to look at the southern end of Pine Tree Road due to resident concerns. He felt the department would have some recommendations within a couple of years to address those concerns. He added that a trail over the bridge as well as under the bridge have always been part of the project and funding request. TB 06-25-2012 Page 8 of 20 Mr. Engman added that one of the very good outcomes of these discussions is the attention the southern end has received and the need for some mitigations on that end. He went on to say that he felt we all realize that that area is going to be developed both residentially and commercially and this is our opportunity to get improvements for a very little money. The design parameters can be expanded and we can get a great project that will work for everybody. He also added that he wished Mr. Conneman had stayed to listen because he did not feel anyone was lying, but with so many agencies involved in the discussion, it can be confusing and one may not know what the other has said or done etc. A roll call vote was held. TB RESOLUTION NO. 2012 - 121: Resolution Supporting a Grant Application by Tompkins County for Pine Tree Road Multi-Modal Project WHEREAS a project for the CR 174/ Pine Tree Road Bike and Pedestrian Path P.I.N. 3950.43 (“the Project") is eligible for funding under Title 23 U.S. Code, as amended, and New York State's Multi-Modal Program administered by the NYS Department of Transportation; and WHEREAS on December 12, 2011 the Town Board adopted TB Resolution No. 2011-207 appropriating the sum of $35,000 to cover the cost of participation in design phase of the Project; and WHEREAS, Tompkins County is applying for grant funding and seeks the support of the Town of Ithaca for this application THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town of Ithaca supports the efforts by Tompkins County in securing any available funds for the project.

MOVEDSECONDED : Bill Goodman : Rich DePaolo VOTE : Ayes: Goodman, DePaolo, Hunter, Engman, Horwitz, Levine and Leary Motion passed unanimously. TB 06-25-2012 Page 11 of 20 Approve Supplement to the Agreement Motion was moved and seconded for discussion. Ms. Hunter spoke about her feeling that it was inappropriate to take action at a study session that the public may not be aware of because they expect our meetings to be held on the first Monday following the first Tuesday. She felt that when the board decided to hold study sessions, it was her understanding that it was for committee reports and discussion items and not action items. She understood that some action items might be added if there was a time issue, but felt this agenda has far too many. Discussion followed with board members recollecting that the study sessions were intended for more non-action items but open to action items when needed. There was some discussion on not distinguishing between the two meetings by calling them different names and holding them both in the boardroom.

Steams & Whaler, LLC (ENGINEER) and the Ithaca Area WWTP - SJC Owners (OWNER) entered Into an Agreement dated September 7,2005 to evaluate Miscellaneous Plant Improvements: and WHEREAS, except as expressly amended herein, all other provisions of the original contract dated September 7, 2005 remain In full force and effect. NOW, THEREFORE. ENGINEER and OWNER agree to amend the Agreement as follows. SCOPE OF SERVICES Additional Services on the Septage Building Project due to the remediation delays and recent changes In scope to add processing of food waste to the project. The additional costs Incurred are documented below, and many of the costs are directly attributable to the remediation. We request that this amendment be processed between the SJC Owners and GHD. and that the SJC Owners submit a claim to NYSEG for reimbursement of these costs. 1. Additional Services Due to Remediation Planning and Delay. The costs In this section should be ' \ reimbursable by NYSEG. Our design was complete and ready for bidding on April 20, 2010. The plans had been checked by SJC staff by that date, and Mr. Daniel Ramer asked by email (attached) that GHD make provisions for bidding. On April 21, 2010, Mr. Ramer sent an email which identified that NYSEG wanted to Involve NYSDEC and determine if remediation was required. a. Work which occurred after April 21. 2010 was due entirely to the delay and consisted of the following items to date: 1) Supplying NYSEG, NYSDEC, and GEI with copies of the project drawings. 2) Attendance at four (4) meetings at the Ithaca Area WWTP where SJC, NYSEG. NYSDEC. and GEI discussed how to proceed. 3) Modification of our previously complete foundation design to incorporate a shallow foundation which would not Involve as much remediation as our original, deeper, foundation. This item Involved geotechnical engineering design and drafting. 4) Development of site plan layout drawings showing the proposed building and the proposed gas holder. 5) The total cost of these items to date is detailed on the attached Job Transaction Report, dated April 27. 2012. and totals $13,683.18 through April 27, 2012. b. Work which Is required now that NYSDEC has approved a remediation method is outlined below. These items are required due to the delays and remediation strategy: 1) Preparation of this amendment. ( > 2) Verification of the design of the modified shallow foundation and changes to structural drawings - to reflect the shallow foundation. S \A<lniini$ir»Mn\.ATOmbU0t2ifttaca SJC MSmnU Services AmendS^SOt I6-88140S1 docs AMENDMENT NO. 9 ITHACA SJC (PAGE 2) / n 3) Modification of the previously prepared written specifications for the following items; a) What Is Included in Contract 1 - General. Previously, the contractor had to remove and dispose of the excavated soil. Now the contractor will need to excavate the soil using people trained in working on a site with hazardous materials, will have to decontaminate personnel and equipment on a daily basis, will have to coordinate with NYSEG and GEI for the hauling of the soil, and will not have to provide trucks or a site to haul the material to, since NYSEG will provide that service directly. GHD will need to modify the contract portion of the specifications to clearly describe this for the contractors. This will also involve assisting the SJC Owners with the Memorandum of Understanding between NYSEG and the SJC. b) Modification of the Specifications for Structural Fill to be Used Under the Foundation. Specifications for the lightweight aggregate must be developed by GHD, sent to NYSDEC for approval, and added to the specifications. c) Structural Evaluation. GHD must revise our previously completed structural evaluation of the building foundation to include both geotechnical items and seismic force analysis. d) Codes Review. The 2-year delay may have resulted in regulatory changes which could affect our previously completed design. We will need to perform brief evaluations of the HVAC, electrical, and structural steel design packages to make sure that our 2-year old design meets current codes. , e) Construction Phase Services. Our existing contract includes $30,000 in effort ' during the construction phase of the project to act as the Owner's representative. The 2-year delay has resulted in labor cost increases of 3 percent each year, for a total of 6.1 percent increase on the $30,000 fee, or $1,830. 4) The estimated cost of the work described in this section is $15,000. 2. Additional Services to Food Processing Equipment Addition. These costs should be bourne by the SJC Owners and not by NYSEG. a. Design of a Food Waste Receiving Station. We will add appropriate grinding and pumping equipment to the existing design to accommodate the delivery of food waste from local sources. The food waste system will reduce items such as paper plates, plastic silverware, bones, plastic cups, plastic bags, napkins, and biodegradable plates to small particles which can be pumped by the previously designed project components. This item includes the modification of existing drawings to show the new equipment and the development of new written specification sections. We propose to complete the work described for this item for a lump sum fee of $16,000. PAYMENTS TO ENGINEER ENGINEER requests an amendment in the amount of $44,683.10 to cover the cost of the services described in this proposal. This Is the total of the amounts described above. We believe that SJC should request that NYSEG reimburse it for $28,683.18 of this total, because these costs were incurred only because of the delay. The remaining $16,000 is attributable only to the addition of the food waste processing station. ) S'VAdnw!i$Sr^nV.Aniefl4)sUOt2\llhaca SJC Ad^liORal Setvices Amend 9 S&Ot 16.8614051 do« r AMENDMENT NO. 9 ITHACA SJC (PAGE 3) PROJECT SCHEDULE ENGINEER will begin work immediately and complete the proposed work within six (6) months of authorization to proceed.
