Re: Hancock Street sidewalk
Based on conversation at a previous Board meeting, please find enclosed the following
materials to proceed with directing new sidewalk construction on both sides of the 700 block
of Hancock Street:
In this case, I am recommending that we do not create a capital project for this work. I don't
believe there will be any City expense that is not fully reimbursable by the assessments for
sidewalk construction. I've spoke with the Street Supervisor and he was comfortable with this
approach. I also told him that this work could be completed in 2012 or 2013 if that works better
for the sidewalk crew.

RE: Multi-Modal Funds and 2013 Budget
In response to Nels Bohnsemail dated May 23, 2012, regarding the Southern Tier Regional Economic
Development Council's (STREDC) Multi-Modal Funding Opportunity, the Engineering office and I
have considered a number of different project options that may be competitive. To be competitive, we
carefully looked at the ST DC's stated evaluation criteria and made some inferences as to what types
of projects they would find attractive based on the Council's general goals and focus areas.
We have considered a number of different application options:
a We do not recommend this project.
2. Traffic signal replacement (or roundabout installation) at Dryden /Maple /Ithaca/Cornell/Oak
intersection (cost est. $400K)
® Traffic signal may be competitive, but our crews cannot construct much of the project.
* A roundabout may not improve pedestrian conditions to the degree desirable.
® Could possibly leverage Cornell funds to improve competiveness.
* Perhaps too small of a project (would not really help our budget very much).
* We do not recommend this project.
Pedestrian improvements to the 300 & 400 blocks of College Ave. (cost est. $600K)
• Project would widen sidewalks and reduce on-street parking.
• Project already vetted and planned to some degree, but would likely be too controversial to
pursue rapidly.
• Easily constructible by city crews.
• Could recoup sidewalk and 50% curbing costs from adjacent property owners.
Could possibly leverage Cornell funds to improve coinpeti-veness.
Seems highly competitive (bike/pedestrian/transit improvements in a business district ripe for
new investment) but is not recommended due to the anticipated controversy.
4. Old Elmira Road streetscape improvements (cost est. $900K ($400K city, $500K grant))
Project would install curbing, sidewalk, bike lanes, drainage improvements, and transit
improvements.
• -Project already vetted, cost estimates have already been done, and it was previously on the
TIP (removed to add funds to Thurston Ave. Bridge).
• Easily constructible by city crews.
• Could recoup sidewalk (–$80K) and 50% curbing (–$20K) costs from adjacent property
This project seems highly competitive (satisfies multi-modal criteria and is located in a
I- . . A A-4 with +1, D 11
business co—Illuor ripe fJr new that connects nc1811Uk)111U"U'J witil the _Kt� I-)
commercial area).
* The project scale seems of appropriate size.
* We recommend that this project be the subject of our application.

60 %m Design Development
Following the acceptance of the basis of design, O'Brien & Gere will advance the preliminary
engineering design to approximately 60% complete. Throughout this phase, O'Brien & Gere's design
team will conduct site visits, as needed, studying the existing field conditions, reviewing City design
requirements and developing the design concepts previously established.
The scope of this preliminary engineering will include:
0 Generation of AutoCAD release 2012 base plans and sections for the project from selected record
drawings of impacted areas.
® Site Plan approval for Giles St Facility and the utility building at the 60 -ft Dam.
0 Endorsement from NYSDEC of Dam safety related upgrades at 60 -ft Dam.
® Soil borings and geotechnical assessment.
a Completion of 60% design drawings.
a Update of project cost estimate and schedule.
a Outline specifications for key equipment to amplify and clarify the intent of the drawings. -
® Documents required for procurement of the membrane feed equipment.
The final deliverable from this phase will consist of a technical memorandum supplemented with
preliminary design drawings. Three (3) sets will be submitted to the City for your review and comments.
O'Brien & Gere recommends that this preliminary design package also be reviewed with the New York
State Department of Health (NYSDOH) such that their comments can be incorporated into subsequent
packages. We feel this will minimize the potential for rework and expedite the ultimate approval process.
A meeting will be conducted with the City to review the 60% design, cost estimate and obtain comments
prior to proceeding with final design.
Final Design and Approvals
The final design and approvals package will include submission of four (4) sets of complete contract
documents suitable for submission to regulatory approval Agencies and the City for final approval. This
submission will be reviewed with the Agencies by telephone conference and written responses will be
generated to any comments received. For the purposes of this proposal, one round of comments has been
anticipated.
We anticipate breaking the overall project up into multiple set of contract documents to allow for phasing
of the project. We anticipate that each set of contract documents will be prepared to allow bidding with
up to four prime contractors in accordance with New York State bidding laws. Prime contracts will be
bound into a common set of documents and bid concurrently. It is anticipated that contract documents
will use O'Brien & Gere's standard commercial provisions and technical specifications where
appropriate. Job written technical specifications, special provisions and payment provisions will also be
prepared as required by the specifics for this project. A final cost estimate and project schedule will also
be prepared at this time.

Constructability Review
Upon completion of design drawings and specifications, the contract documents will be reviewed for
constructability by O'Brien & Gere's construction services division and in conjunction with our quality
assurance system. Experienced construction personnel will review the project for the following aspects:
0 Time provisions required to complete construction.
® Methods of payment for various lump sum and „nit price items.
0 Items of construction have been clearly defined within the contract documents and within the
prime contractor's contracts.
® Long lead -times for equipment have been clearly addressed and can be incorporated in the time
frame allowed for construction.
® Construction details and methods to review that design concepts can be constructed in a feasible
and cost effective manner.
® Any proprietary items specified have been properly and clearly defined.
a Consistency and feasibility of other construction related work activities specific to the project.
A meeting will be conducted with the City to review the final design, cost estimate and obtain comments
prior to finalizing the contract document package.

Purpose and Intent:
Section E is changed to more accurately describe the designation of License holders
allowed to do plumbing in the City. Not all plumbers are required to have licenses,
Plumbing Contractors must. The term "sewer layer” is no longer in use. The Examining
Board of Plumbers has created a new category of license to do both water and sewer
installations outside the building termed Water and Sewer Installer.
Section J is added as a new section. House traps (building traps) have been required
within the City since the first Plumbing Code written in 1929. The City has an estimated
5,400 traps installed (one in every sewer service line to every building) in the City and
the Water and Sewer Division has a standard specification and drawing for installers.
However, the lack of a specific reference to house traps in the Water and Sewer
Regulations has proven to be problematic. Its inclusion is intended to remedy
any confusion.

The Examining Board of Plumbers for the City of Ithaca is recommending changes to the City
Code that is "more restrictive" than the NPw York State Plumbing Code. These changes are
intended to require that air admittance valves (AAV) installed for fixtures have a relief vented
horizontal drainage branch and to prohibit the use of stack -type AAV's on waste and soil

vents on horizontal branch drains (four stories or less) and permitted the use of stack -type
AAV's. The technical and safety aspects of these recommended changes are detailed here.
1) Ventilation
Venting and air circulation within a plumbing system is an important public health and safety
feature. Here, the term venting is a physical process that allows air to enter and leave or allow for
the admission and emission of air from outside of the building structure. The primary function of
venting can be best described as a two -fold process. First, venting allows the piping system to
self regulate the negative and positive pressures that are created in the piping system when water,
waste and solids flow through a pipe. The regulation of pressures is needed to maintain the
water seals of fixture traps. The trap seal is what keeps sewer gases (see The Anatomy of Sewer
Gas below) from entering the living space. The second function of the vent is to allow the sewer
gases to escape through ventilation to the outside air. AAV's are intended to accomplish the first
function of trap seal protection by opening (admission only) on a negative pressure to relieve a
siphon which may affect the water seal of a trap. It is the second function of the venting system,
the ventilation of sewer gases, which an AAV cannot perform. Nevertheless, the State Plumbing
Code permits AAV's to be included as plumbing "vents" for fixtures and piping. The result is
that potentially harmful and unwanted sewer gases remain trapped within the piping system.
2) The Douse 'Trap
In addition to the lack ventilation and the incidents of sewer gas remaining inside buildings, we
have discovered another adverse effect from the installation of the AAV's ... house traps are
emitting sewer gases.
All buildings in the City are required to have the installation of a house trap as part of the sewer
service. This requirement dates back to the first city plumbing code published in 1929 and was a
well established principal of good plumbing sanitary design. There is an estimated 5,400 house
traps recorded by the City's Utility Service Information cards and GIS maps.
An essential and required component of house trap design is the Fresh Air Inlet (FAI).
The FAI allows the house trap to flow without restriction thereby limiting stoppages. However,
its primary purpose is to enable outside air to draft into the building plumbing vent system. The
i i +; f FAI a stack hi tP to to e outdoors hroi vh e roof f the
Ci)iiuuiaiioii o a i i and maw_ �v.� ;•.,h _ rm;a�vs 11v .doo.., t.. .la the o__ o_ h
structure produces an upward air draft referred to as "stacking" or "chimney" effect. This draft is
the ventilation required to dilute and remove the sewer gases and odors which form inside the
building plumbing system. The inclusion of the stack -type air admittance valves (designed to
open under negative pressure) cuts off the ventilation pattern designed into the plumbing system.
In these situations the FAI is now a relief vent and is subjected to back - pressures caused by the
lack of air circulation and air emissions upstream. The result is sewer gas and odors coming out
of the FAI each time there is water flow.
3) The Anatomy of Sewer Gas
Sewer gases are, at the very least, an odor nuisance but they are also a pcubiic health concern.
These gases are formed primarily as the result of human and other wastes decaying in the piping
system. The wastes turn "septic"... that is they are broken down by the presence of bacterial
organisms as soon as it enters the drain pipe. The by- products of this septic action are gases and
bio -films that form on the interior of the pipe. Some of the substances that can be found within
these bio -films and gases are: Methane (flammable), Hydrogen Sulfide (toxin), Ammonia
(toxic), Biological Pathogens contained in human waste, blood and tissue (health concerns).
In a well designed plumbing piping system these substances and gases are constantly being
diluted with incoming air from the FAI and removed by the "stacking effect" through the roof
and to the outside.
It is the determination of the Examining Board of Plumbers for the City of Ithaca that the
installation of stack -type air admittance valve(s) and the additional elimination of relief venting
requirements for air admittance valves contribute to several sanitary and public health issues that
need to be addressed. The proposed code changes submitted remedy those concerns.

This guide is intended to serve as a tool for municipalities to petition the New York State Fire Prevention and Building
code requesting the incorporation of more restrictive local standards for construction.
Process:
The chief executive officer or the chairman of the legislative body within 30 days of enactment or adoption of a local law or
ordinance shall petition for Council for a determination as to whether or not such law or ordinance is more restrictive than
the provisions contained in the Uniform Code.
1. A certified copy of the local law or ordinance indicating the date of enactment.
2. Legislative findings setting forth the special conditions prevailing within the community.
3. Documentation to establish that the requested standards conform to accepted engineering and fire
prevention practices.
4. An analysis of each section of the law or ordinance indicating the content and comparable sections of the
Uniform Code.
5. Documentation to establish a burden of proof that the standards are warranted by special conditions
prevailing within the municipality.
6. A copy of the minutes of the meeting at which the local standards were discussed and adopted.
Petitions must conform to the criteria set forth in the Executive Law:
§379. Incorporation of higher standards by Council upon recommendation of local government; local building regulations.
Except in the case of factory manufactured homes, intended for use as one or two family dwelling units or multiple
dwellings of not more than two stories in height, the legislative body of any local government may duly enact or adopt
local laws or ordinances imposing higher or more restrictive standards for construction within the jurisdiction of such local
government than are applicable generally to such local government I the uniform code. Within thirty days of such
enactment or adoption, the chief executive officer, or if there be none, the chairman of the legislative body of such local
government, shall so notify the Council, and shall petition the Council for a determination of whether such local laws or
ordinances are more stringent than the standards for construction applicable generally to such local government in the
uniform code. During the period in which the council is considering such petition, such local laws or ordinances shall
remain in full force and effect.
2. If the council finds that such higher or more restrictive standards are reasonably necessary because of special conditions
prevailing within the local government and that such standards conform with accepted engineering and fire prevention
practices and the purposes of this article, the council shall adopt such standards conform with accepted engineering and
fire prevention practices and the purposes of this article, the council shall adopt such standards, in whole or part. The
council shall have the power to limit the term or duration of such standards, impose conditions in connection with the
adoption thereof, and to terminate such standards at such times, and in such manner as the council may deem
necessary, desirable or proper.
3. Nothing in this article shall be construed to prohibit any municipality from adopting or enacting any building regulations
relating to any matter as to which the uniform fire prevention and building code does not provide, but no municipality shall
have the power to supersede, void, repeal or make more or less restrictive any provisions of this article or of rules or
regulations made pursuant hereto
4. Within one hundred twenty days after the effective date of the uniform code, a local government may be resolution duly
enacted petition the council for a determination as to whether an existing building andlor fire code in force in said local
government is more stringent than the uniform code. During the period in which the council is considering such petition,
such local code shall remain in full force and effect. If, after review, the council determines that such local code is less
stringent than the uniform code, the council shall notify the chief executive officer or, if there be none, the chairman of the
legislative body of such local government and the uniform code shall, thirty days after the date of notification, apply in
such local government. If the council finds that such local code is not less stringent than the uniform code, such local
code shall continue in full force and effect until the council, upon its own initiative, reviews such local code and determines
that it is no longer more stringent, whereupon the council shall notify the chief executive officer or chairman of the
legislative body of such local government and thirty days after the date of notification the uniform code shall apply in such
local government.

Good morning Kathy and Bill,
I contacted the Public Art Commissioners about the materials that would be used in the 21 Boxes
project. The majority of the submitted proposals would involve painted murals on the electrical boxes,
and only paint would be used. There are some proposals for vinyl or other applications other than paint.
These ,materials would be a• --lied in sections so that the electrical b v . d r � .� �, -

all times, and if there are any meters, lights, knobs, or levers, these items would remain unwrapped. If
there are concerns about the weight of the vinyl or other materials being applied to the electrical boxes,
the Commission can select painted murals from the submitted proposals.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any further information.
