Review letter from County Engineer regarding Rd.23 Sanitary Sewer Trench Replacement

Present for the discussion was County Engineer, Frank Onweller; Civil Technician, Brinda Miller; and Sanitary Engineer, Ziad Musallam.  Mr. Onweller began the discussion by explaining his letter stating that there is an issue with the trenches on Road 23 due to the asphalt thickness not matching the existing asphalt thickness.  He stated that when the trenches were replaced, only 3” were put back which resulted in 12 weak areas on the road, which further resulted in the need for his office to execute a change order to remove and again replace the asphalt to existing thickness.  He stated that due to this error, he feels this change order in excess of $13, 000 should not come out of his GTMV fund and should instead come out of the Sanitary Engineer’s Elmira/Burlington Sanitary Sewer Project Funds.  Mr. Musallam stated that he was performing work in accordance to the permit that was approved by the County Engineer’s office, which stated a 3” thickness.  Mr. Onweller stated that they did issue a permit, however there is a discrepancy in the details and prior to the trenches being replaced, he did have a conversation with Mr. Musallam and Kenny Cowell.  Mrs. Miller noted that it would have been much cheaper to fix the problem while the contractor is still there than to call in a mill crew and a paving crew to fix it.  Discussions prior to today have resulted in agreements on how to handle future discrepancies and miscommunications.  Commissioner Barnaby made the motion to make reimbursement from the Elmira/Burlington sanitary sewer project funds to the GTMV fund for the $13,018.48 for the change order executed in this matter to correct the trenches on Road 23.  Commissioner Genter seconded the Motion.  Motion carried unanimously.  Resolution 2007-718

Mr. Degens then addressed the Board stating that he graduated from Owens Community College in January 2007 with an Associates Degree in Environmental Management and recently concluded serving a 3 year internship with the Ohio EPA.

 

Mr. Jones stated that the State is now matching funds 1:1 and that said match includes salaries for district employees.  He further stated that there are county employees that assist the district that may become eligible as district employees.  Commissioner Short stated that they would set up a work session in the upcoming weeks to discuss the details of this proposal.
