9:01:50 AM OLD BUSINESS

Rich Kilgour, Fulton County 9-1-1
Discuss Communication Workstation Bid
 


Mr. Kilgour said that he initially looked at the bid to see if it was within the 10% limit, which it was, then he looked at design. He contact 3 references from each, and all were high quality, durable and lasted a long time. Any defects or problems were taken care of immediately by vendors. The one bidder could not provide a triangular design that is needed. Another bidder did not provide the needed contract/bid bond. Hence he did not make his decision based on price alone.

Commissioner Graf questioned Mr. Kilgour about the contract/bid bond issue. Mr. Kilgour said that when he spoke to the representative from this company he thought she was talking about a performance bond but that the specs did specify this. Mr. Hall said that he and Andy Votava had posed the question to our prosecutor to see if they had the right to comply - we have not heard an opinion yet.

Commissioner Graf asked if the bid specs spoke to the triangular configuration. Mr. Kilgour said that he thought it spoke with regard to space-saving configurations.

Commissioner Graf asked if Wright Line had submitted a bid bond, would they have received the award. Mr. Kilgour said yes, but there was a little more room for each dispatcher with the Xybix bid and there was an issue with the monitor placement in the Wright bid.

Commissioner Graf asked if the statute said the "lowest and best", how would Mr. Kilgour support his decision. Mr. Kilgour said the dispatchers are first concern, their safety is an issue, and they deserve the best equipment out there - Xybix, in his opinion, would provide the best bid.

Mr. Hall said that the prosecutor made contact with Andy and stated that he would have time on Wednesday to look at the issues with 3 alternatives - throw out all bids and start over, examine to see if there is an appeal how we would support our decision. Mr. Hall said he would suggest that the Board give the prosecutor this time to look it over. Commissioner Genter said that they weren't ready to make a decision on the award today. Commissioner Graf said the Xybix bid design really does have more room for the dispatchers. Mr. Kilgour will work with the Prosecutor to get this recommendation to the Board.

9:30:59 AM Review Judgment Entry establishing NWCCC Judicial Advisory Board and Facility Governing Board and Bylaws
 
Commissioner Graf asked if they were an advisory board how could they make appointments - is that legal. After further reading, it appears that the entry establishes the advisory board is to advise the facility governing board. No action is required today.
9:35:12 AM Review Correspondence from the Village of Fayette regarding Extension of Sanitary Sewer Services This extension would be to the trailer park. The EPA has encouraged both the trailer park and the village to go this route. The trailer park wants to know if the county would be willing to offer any financial assistance, like through CDBG dollars. Commissioner Graf if they could not go under the road to the subdivision. Mr. Musallam said it is feasible but the village does not want to approve that. Commissioner Graf said that would be cheaper. Commissioner Genter asked if this could be part of the CDBG requesting next year. Mr. Musallam said this would be separate, it could be through the formula dollars but it would take probably $50,000 of those monies. LMI criteria does apply and Mr. Musallam said that should not be a problem according to the property owner.

9:46:13 AM NEW BUSINESS

Review Co. Rd. F Waterline and Sanitary Sewer Petitions
 


Homestead Ice Cream is petitioning for both water and sanitary sewer services. There are two options; having the county pursue the project through hearing and assessments or to have the only petitioner pay for the proposed services through cash to tap. Commissioner Genter asked if any of this would be in a growth area - if not they answer is simple...put a force main at the corner and Homestead pay for it. The waterline petition is optional to Homestead - right now they have a well that is sufficient but if that were to go out is the concern. Sanitary sewer is their primary request. Cost for both would probably be at $400,000 plus. Mr. Musallam will have further discussion with the petitioner.

10:28:58 AM Engineer's Report Ditch 2103 (Iozzo)
























Resolution 2006-792 Final Hearing Iozzo Ditch 2103 Dec. 7, 2006 at 9:45 AM
PROJECT INITIATION
This drainage improvement was initiated through a single county drainage petition filed by Mr. and Mrs. Michael Iozzo on July 31, 2006. The work petitioned for includes installing a new ten (10) inch storm sewer and appurtenances from the Iozzo Rural Subdivision across the Gillen property to an open ditch known as Ditch No. 2010, Amboy Lucas No. 3
The petition was written to commence on the Iozzo Gillen property line approximately twelve hundred ninety (1,290) feet north of US 20 in the Southeast Quarter of Section 23, T-9-S, R-4-E in Amboy Township and continues downstream to the east terminating at the upper end of Amboy Lucas No.3.
Amboy Lucas No. 3 was last cleaned in 1975 and is presently on the Fulton County ditch maintenance program administered by the County Commissioners and managed by the County Engineer.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The objective of this project is to install a new ten (10) inch storm sewer across the Gillen property, along with the necessary appurtenances, to ultimately serve as the new storm drainage outlet of a rural subdivision drainage system to be installed by the Iozzos. The storm sewer will drain thirty (30) acres of surface and subsurface storm water from the middle portion of the Iozzo property that is currently drained via 6and 10-inch agricultural drainage tiles. The new storm drainage outlet will provide an improved outlet for the rural subdivision and will reduce the load on the existing drain tile, potentially extending the existing drain tile's useful life.
WORK PROPOSED
The work plan for this project includes the installation of 390 L.F. of 10-inch Type C, polyvinyl chloride solid wall pipe (PVC) with rubber gasket joints. The pipe will be installed on six inches of granular bedding material with granular backfill to six inches above the top of the pipe. The remainder of the trench will be filled with finely divided soil, free of rocks and debris and mechanically compacted in six inch lifts. An animal guard will be placed in the outlet end of the new pipe and a catch basin will be installed just inside the Iozzo property at the upper terminus of the new outlet. A short length of pipe will be extended to the west from the new catch basin to facilitate extension of the storm drain into the rural subdivision at a later date.
All disturbed grassed areas will be restored by seeding and mulching including the ditch bank and the lawn area from the Iozzo drive to the new tile and catch basin. Rock channel protection will be placed at the outlet as required to prevent erosion at the ditch.
A parallel drain tile header is proposed to connect any lateral ag drains from the north on the Gillen property that may be cut off by the installation new rural subdivision outlet. The parallel header will eliminate the need to connect old field tiles to the new storm sewer thus preserving the integrity of the new storm sewer.
A temporary construction easement fifty feet in width is proposed from the Iozzo drive to the open ditch across the Iozzo and Gillen properties. Across Gillen, the temporary easement will run from 20 feet to the south of the proposed 10-inch storm sewer to 30 feet to the north on the new storm. Across Iozzo the easement will be generally straight from the drive to the catch basin but divert as required to avoid the existing tile and the Iozzo septic system.
CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE
The attached preliminary construction estimate is based on information that was obtained through drainage project records, aerial photos; field observations, an engineering plan of improvements for the Iozzo rural subdivision prepared for the Iozzos by T.R. Worline and Associates, Inc., and submitted the petition. The county engineer's staff also performed an engineering survey to confirm locations and elevations in the Worline plan and to prepare plans for bidding and improvement records. The estimated cost for the construction of the proposed ten (10) inch storm sewer, the installation of a six (6) inch parallel ag drainage header, restoration and erosion control and damages is $17,251.17 including engineering, administrative costs and construction financing. If all assessments are paid in cash prior to construction, financing charges could be eliminated reducing the project costs to $14,470.15, a sixteen percent (16%) reduction.
Upon completion of the project work plan, final assessments will be prorated to reflect the actual final cost of the work completed.
PROJECT BENEFITS AND ESTIMATED ASSESSMENTS
Rural residential properties benefit from improved drainage by increasing or maintaining their property values. According to local real estate sources, as a general rule, properties suffering from standing water throughout their entire yards are often judged to be devalued as much as 20% to 30%. Properties with some standing water could be devalued as much as 10% to 20%. Areas that suffer even the stigma of standing water could be devalued by 5% to 10%.
Assessments for this proposed improvement were based on the benefits received from the drainage improvements. The type and quantity of drainage runoff contributed by each parcel was a consideration. The location of a parcel relative to the location of the work was also considered.
It is expected that the benefits derived from the proposed improvement over 20will be $64,136.02 and will exceed the estimated project costs. Assessments for the project are estimated to range from $291.00 to $1,526.00 per acre.
MAINTENANCE
The Ohio Revised Code requires that all drainage improvement projects be placed on a permanent maintenance program. The code provides for the right of access to drainage lines to perform maintenance activities. The permanent maintenance access easement for this improvement will be thirty feet in width centered on the line of the storm sewer.
APPARENT FAVORABLE FACTORS
1. Property values will be improved or protected.
2. Erosion control measures along the open ditch will reduce erosion and protect the open channel from deterioration.
3. Having the storm sewer placed on permanent maintenance will insure that the drain can be kept clean and free flowing and will protect the investment in this proposed improvement.
APPARENT UNFAVORABLE FACTORS
1. Temporary production loss can be expected on cropland along the line of the improvement during construction and some reduced yields can be expected for a year or two after construction.
2. Periodic production loss and inconvenience may result from future maintenance activity.
3. Lawn areas adjacent to the work area will be disrupted.
PROJECT FEASIBILITY
The project proposed in this petition is feasible and can be economically completed through the drainage improvement petition process.

Commissioner Graf made the motion and Commissioner Genter seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously
