Re: Request an appropriation in the amount of $1,091,200 from Capital and Non-recurring designated line #20536-
57848 Library HVAC Uparade
Dear Mr. Brute,
CNR funds in the amount of $1,091,200 were approved in the fiscal year Town 2021-2023 budgets to fund the
renovation and replacement of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems at the Waterford Public Library.
The library's systems are obsolete and in need of replacement. The current systems were installed in multiple phases
between 1965 and 1999. They are past their useful operating life and require frequent maintenance. Repairs have been
increasing In frequency and cost as the systems age, deteriorate and fail. The replacement and renovations will result
in energy efficiency, reduced energy consumption and reduced costs of repairs and parts replacements.
tn November 2019, the library was awarded a CT State Library Construction Grant, Per the grant guidelines, the Town
had 3 years (November 2022/FY23) to secure local funding. That local funding was spread over three years with the
first appropriation approved in FY21 and the final appropriation approved in FY23. The $250,000 grant is available to
spend in addition to the CNR appropriations.
An engineering firm has been selected from the response to the Request for Proposals. Although only one firm had
proposed, they are one of firms that the Town has selected to be an On-Call Engineering firm for projects such as this
one.
Staff is requesting the entire amount to expedite the project. We already have fatal failures of one roof top unit and a
split system in the basement. Once the design has been completed, we need to move into the bidding and awarding
of the construction contract. The Library Board has a committee that will be monitoring the project.
Please place this request on the next Board of Selectmen’s agenda for consideration and forward to the Board of
Finance, if approved.
Respectfully submitted,

RE: Funding Request USEPA Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR} Engineering Services
Proposal.
Dear Mr. Brule,
The US EPA has.developed regulations to protect communities from exposure to Lead in
drinking water. This regulation known as the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions requires al! public
water systems to create an inventory of the water service line material that. serves each home
or business, from the water main up to the building's interior. This inventory list is mandated by
USEPA and the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CTDPH)}. Approximately 7900 water
service lines in Waterford need to be evaluated, we are obligated to submit our service line
inventory list by October 16. 2024. The LCRRregulation requires that Waterford create an
inventory of the existing water service line materials (plastic, copper, lead, galvanized, other) on
the public and private side of the property line in Waterford’s water system and identify which
service lines may be galvanized or contain lead.
Attached for the consideration of the Board of Selectman is an Engineering Services Proposal
from our On-Call engineering firm, Wright —Pierce for services necessary to assure compliance
of the aforementioned mandate. This proposal is in accordance with the previously approved
Master Services Agreement On-Call Engineering Services Agreement. You will note that the
proposal is based on a time charge basis, not to exceed $98,363. In effort to keep time charges
to a minimum, our staff will research and pravide as much information as possible to
accomplish this goal,
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Waterford Utility Commission ~ Water Distribution System Lead Service Line
Inventory Program - Proposal for Engineering Services
Dear Mr. Bartelli:
The Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), first promulgated in 1991, was enacted by the USEPA to protect public
health and reduce exposure to lead and copper in drinking water. In January 2021 the USEPA published
the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR). The LCRR aims to better protect public and get the lead
out of our nation’s drinking water. One major regulatory change included in the LCRR is the requirement
for water systems to develop a lead service line (LSL) material inventory and an LSL replacement (LSLR)
plan if lead or lead goosenecks are found by October 16, 2024.
The LSL inventory which is mandated by USEPA and the Connecticut Department of Public Health
(CTDPH) requires that Waterford creates an inventory of the existing water service lines materials (plastic,
copper, lead, galvanized, other) on public and private side in Waterford’s water system and identify which
service lines may be galvanized or contain lead.
Below is our proposal for engineering services related to the lead service line inventory program.
Scope of Services
L Validation and Evaluation Phase
Task 1 —- Data Collection and Development of a Service Line Inventory
The purpose of Task | is to develop a database of the approximately 7,900 water services based on existing
information obtained from service cards, historical records, contract drawings, data from New
London/Veolia provided by Waterford Utility Commission. The collected available information will be
entered into the Connecticut Department of Public Health LCRR Material Inventory Template (CTDPH
LCRR Material Inventory Spreadsheet) which is due to Connecticut Department of Public Health by
October 16, 2024,
Task 1 will identify known material service lines and unknown material service lines. The unknown
service lines will require further review.
Our efforts under Task 1 will include:

Mr. James A. Bartelli, Director of Utilities
Page 2 of 2 ee
id
1. Conduct a kick-off meeting with Waterford Utility Commission staff.
2. Use existing data obtained from the Waterford Utility Commission including service cards, historical
records, contract drawings, and work orders related to the repair/replacement of service lines to fill in
the CTDPH’s LCRR Material Inventory Template for the 7,900 services. For each of the 7,900 water
services, the template includes 36 various fields for data entry and response to questions.
3. Provide a draft LCRR Material Inventory Template to Water Utility Commission staff for review,
verification and a list of accounts with street addresses of properties with missing information and
unknown service line materials to Waterford Utility Commission for further investigation.
4. Incorporate changes from the draft submittal and provide CTDPH’s LCRR Material Inventory
Template to Waterford Utility Commission for submission to CTDPH by October 16, 2024.
5. Assist Waterford Utility Commission with making the lead line service inventory data available to the
public after it is completed and submitted to the State.
PROPOSED FEE
Wright-Pierce would perform these services on a time charge basis in accordance with our existing Master
Services Agreement. A total of 920 hours is estimated to perform the scope of services described above
under Task 1. We propose to provide these services for a not to exceed fee of $98,763. Should additional
effort be required to finalize the inventory, we will not exceed this fee without prior written authorization.
If the proposed scope and fee are acceptable, we are prepared to begin this work immediately upon
Waterford Utility Commission authorization and would conduct this effort under the terms and conditions
of our existing Master Services Agreement.
We appreciate being considered for this assignment and look forward to working with you and your staff.
Should you need additional information, please feel free to call me with any questions.
Very truly yours,
WRIGHT-PIERCE

Understanding the Lead and Copper Rule
EPA established the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) in 1991 to protect public health and
reduce exposure to lead in drinking water. The most common sources of lead in
drinking water are lead pipes and brass or bronze faucets and fixtures.
MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL GOAL
The Lead and Copper Rule established a
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) of
zero for lead. The MCLG is zero because there
is no level of exposure to lead that is without
risk. The Safe Drinking Water Act requires
that EPA establish a treatment technique for
contaminants like lead and copper that
prevents known or anticipated health effects to
the extent feasible.
Since implementation, the Lead
and Copper Rule action level
exceedances have decreased by
over 90%
TREATMENT TECHNIQUE
Lead is rarely found in significant quantities in
naturaily occurring sources of water, such as
streams, lakes, rivers, or ground water, Lead
from lead pipes, faucets, and fixtures can
dissolve into water or sometimes can enter as
flakes or small particles. To keep lead from
entering the water, EPA requires some
systems, including those that are having
difficulty controlling lead, to treat water using
certain chemicals that keep the !ead in place
by reducing corrosion. This treatment is called
corrosion control. When corrosion control
alone is not sufficient to control lead exposure,
EPA requires systems to educate the public
about risks of lead in drinking water and to
replace lead service lines.
OFFICE OF GROUND WATER
AND DRINKING WATER:

EPA OGWDW | Understanding the Lead and Copper Rule
EPA’S LEAD ACTION LEVEL
The lead action level is a measure of the
effectiveness of the corrosion control treatment
in water systems. The action level is not a
standard for establishing a safe level of lead in a
home.
To check if corrosion control is working, EPA
requires water systems to test for lead at the
tap in certain homes, including those with lead
service lines. Systems compare sample results
from homes to EPA’s action level of 0.015 mg/L
(15 ppb). If 10 percent of the samples from
these homes have water concentrations that are
greater than the action level, then the system
must perform actions such as public education
and lead service line replacement.
LCR VIOLATIONS
Exceeding the action level is not a violation.
Violations can be assessed if a system does not
perform certain required actions (e.g., public
education or lead service line replacement) after
the action level is exceeded. Other violations
may also be assessed under the rule. For
example, if samples are collected improperly,
samples are not reported, or if treatment is
done incorrectly.
EPA September 2020
IMPLEMENTATION AND NEXT STEPS
Implementation of the LCR over the past twenty-
five years has resulted in major improvements in
public health. The number of the nation’s large
drinking water systems that have exceeded the
LCR action level has decreased by over 90 percent
since the initial implementation of the rule. Based
on June 2019 SDWIS data, about 97 percent of
the systems have not reported an action level
exceedance in the last 3 years.
EPA is continuing to work with primacy agencies to
ensure that the LCR is being properly
implemented.
EPA has recently released the proposed rule for
public comment. To learn more visit:

SUBJECT: Lead and Copper Rule Revisions Final Material Inventery Template
The State of Connecticut Department of Public Health’s (DPH’s) final version of the Lead and Copper
Rule Revisions (LCRR) Material Inventory Template is now available. Public water systems (PWS)
must use and submit the prescribed material inventory template for compliance. For the LCRR final
material inventory template, click on the document link below:
e CTDPH LCRR Final Material Inventory Template.xisx
The National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: LCRR, which was effective on December 16, 2021
with a compliance date of October 16, 2024, requires that all community and non-transient non-
community (NTNC) public water systems develop a lead service line (LSL) inventory that identifies
materials used in the construction and repair of all service lines connected to the distribution system.
The initial LSL inventory must be submitted to the Department of Public Health Drinking Water
Section (DWS) by the compliance date of October 16, 2024.
The LCRR specifies information that PWS must include in their LSL inventory, such as the
requirements for PWS to make their information publicly accessible and to notify all persons served by
the water system at the service connection with a lead, galvanized requiring replacement, or lead status
unknown service line. DWS strongly recommends PWS begin the development of the LSL inventory
immediately, which includes the evaluation of every service connection on the water system using the
required resources specified in the LCRR.

To help PWS comply with the LSL inventory requirements and other LCRR requirements, the DWS
has developed a material inventory template with fillable forms and tables for PWS to document and
organize their initial material inventory, service line material update, and LSL replacement update; to
document the required inventory methods and public accessibility; to help with the determination of
LSLR requirements with the automated service line classification feature; to conduct customer and
property owner notification; to identify schools and childcare facilities on the water system; and to
select compliance tap sampling sites. The column headings in the inventory templates are color coded
to indicated requirements and recommendations. This final inventory template has incorporated
comments received from PWS on the CT DPH Draft LCRR Material Inventory template that was
released on June 28, 2022 with Circular Letter # 2022-35.
The DWS will be hosting educational series on the LCRR Initial Material Inventory requirements and
template. More information will be forthcoming.
If you have any questions on the LCRR and Material Inventory requirements, please contact Cindy Sek
of my staff at cindy.sek@ct.gov.

Re: On-Call Architectural RFP
The Town received 8 responses to the request to provide On-Call Architectural Services. The
responses were reviewed for completeness, work experience that matches the Tawn needs,
and finally cost (hourly), As each firm listed a variety of job titles, the Department selected the
classification of architect for hourly cost comparisons.
This will provide on call architectural services to all Town departments on an as-needed basis
for a two-year term, with the option to extend the contract for an additional three years upon
agreement by both parties.
The service involves, but are not limited to:
* Perform existing conditions plans showing facilities including buildings, parks, parking lots,
roads, drainage, underground or overhead utilities, topography, ar other facilities as directed,
: Assist the Town in the early stages of project development, including developing project
alternatives and providing analysis and recommendations to develop scopes of work.
+ Prepare architectural designs, details, calculations, plans and specifications for projects.
* Prepare estimates of probable cost.
+ Assist the Town in identifying, preparing, submitting and managing local, State, and Federal
permits,
+ Assist the Town in the bidding and construction stages for projects, including development of
project specifications, attending pre-bid meetings, answering Requests for information, making
recommendations concerning bid awards, attending pre-construction meetings, reviewing shop
drawings and assisting with project management during the construction phase.
“Renovation and repair design.
Building and Fire Code analysis.

There is no guarantee to the amount of work assigned, thus there is no cost to the Town in
having this firm on-call.
All 8 firms were qualified. On one side of the scale, several firms had extensive work in large
municipal projects. The firm that the Department is recommending are on the other side of the
scale, having worked on smaller scale municipal projects that more reflect projects we will
encounter.
| am recommending that the Town enter into a contract with Antinozzi Associates Architecture +
interiors.

DESCRIPTION
Our first assignment with the Town of Trumbull was
ta update the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan for
nine (9) major town buildings totaling approximately
442,000 SF, including two Town Libraries, the Town
Hall and Annex, Police Headquarters, Senior Center,
Public Works Yard, and EMS Facility. The need for facil-
ity improvements throughout the town led to our on-
cal] design services contract with the Town in 2010,
which has since been renewed several times,
In 2015 we were commissioned to conduct a feasibil-
ity study for Town Hall to determine an overall square
footage requirement to house all departments, cur-
rently within three separate buildings, into one con-
solidated location, This assessment provided the Town
with an overview of square footage needed for each
department in comparison with the existing square
footage and included an analysis of the existing space in
each building, as well as the potential for consolidating
all municipal and Board of Education offices into the
existing Trumbull Library building. tn 2019 our firm was
commissioned to conduct an additional space reconfig-
uration study for Town Hall to determine the feasibility
of reconfiguring multipie departments. Our approach
involved an Information Gathering phase followed by a
Conceptual Design Phase.
Other recent projects include the Police Department
upgrades, Department of Public Works renovations,
Mary J. Sherlach Counseling Center study and renova-
tions, senior center renovations, a feasibility study for
renovations of the Trumbull Public Library, and school
projects including various upgrades for Trumbull High
Schoal, Middlebrook School and Madison School roof
replacements, Hillcrest Middle School exterior altera-
tions, Frenchtown Elementary School cooling tow-
ers, exterior stairs for the schoo! bus depot, and roof

Area: 7,500 - 12,000 Square Feet
Completion: [n progress
DESCRIPTION
In 2013, the Bridgeport Public Library (BPL) embarked
upon the process of creating a master plan of their five
(8) branch facilities throughout the City. In coordina-
tion with MSR of Minneapolis, Antinozzi Associates
was awarded the contract to provide a comprehensive
Bridgeport Public Library '\Master Plan
study of options for the future of the facilities, Based
on the results of the study, and the need to meet chal-
lenging demographic and technological program chang-
es, the BPL. purchased three sites to renovate or newly-
construct branches that would revitalize the City’s East
End neighborhoods and reinvigorate the BPL’s commu-
nity impact.
The library program for each branch revolved around
the idea of “Tech Centers," The main features of these
new tech centers include: spaces dedicated for children,
teen, and adult use; a community room; large/small
study rooms; a library “marketplace”; numerous com-
puter stations; wi-fi capability; and outdoor courtyards
for reading or gathering.

field Library branch back to its original site in the early
20th century. The existing brick masonry building is a
Carnegie library built in 1900. The building is two (2)
levels of approximately 3,400 SF per level and was com-
pletely restored/renovated to meet the program and
code compliance. The second project following the
Newfield Branch was the construction of a new branch
in the Upper East Side of Bridgeport to accommodate
a neighborhood not previously served by the BPL. A

KILLINGLY COMMUNITY CENTER Renovation
Location: Danielson, Connecticut
Area: 149,314 Square Feet
Design: 01/2023 - 07/2023
DESCRIPTION
Antinozzi is providing design services for the Town of
Killingly's Community Center. The building was for-
merly Killingly's second high school, and then was
converted to accommodate both the Board of Educa-
tion Central Offices, and EastCONN, which provides
K-12 student services.

tion at its exterior walls resulting in deterioration. Most
significant are areas along the South facade where the
brick veneer has been compromised. Our improve-
ments include stabilization of the exterior walls, and the
replacement of the existing roof and exterior window
assemblies.
With the building partially-occupied, the project will
introduce the community center spaces Hike a tenant fit-
out. Upgrades to plumbing fixtures, activity and office
spaces, and the addition of air conditioning are specific
for those spaces to be utilized by the community center.
Supplementation of the existing access control system
will provide access control ta other tenant spaces.
As a centrally-located destination in Killingly, the building
will house community center spaces, as well as a food
bank, a gymnasium, and the “CoffeeHouse”, an assembly
space jn the school's former cafeteria which is capable
of supporting multiple activities such as lectures and the

CODE EXPERTISE
Paul Lisi, AIA, BCEO, a firm Principat and Senior
Project Manager, is a licensed architect and is in charge
of the majority of the firm’s on-call capital improvement
projects for municipalities, school districts, and housing
authorities. Paul is a Licensed State Building Inspector
and member of the International Code Council (ICC).
He is also a former Planning and Zoning Commissioner
in his hometown of Monroe, CT,
Paul regularly attends professional seminars and indus-
try workshops with local and State regulatory officials.
Much of his involvement on the firm's design work,
including institutional and corporate type projects,
specifically addresses, and solves, issues relating to the
Connecticut Building and Fire Code, Handicap Regula-
tions (ADAVANS)), Life Safety Code, and many more.
With this distinct advantage of utilizing the expertise of
an in-house Licensed Building Official on all of our proj-
ects, we consult early (and often) with local and State
code enforcement authorities, both formally and infor-
mally, to engage additional feedback during the design
process, Since most project schedules do not allow
time for miscues, we must be certain that local and
State pre-construction phase approvals are seamless.
In addition, we also have an excellent working relation-
ship with the State Fire Marshal's Office and Building
Inspector's Office.
