Building Maintenance

Opening Statement
With emphasis on public and employee safety, excellent customer service and
efficiency, this Department provides maintenance, repairs, after-hour emergency support,
building automation, utility management and custodial services to our buildings and structures
allowing employees, residents and the general public access.to clean and safe public buildings.
It assists Town Departments, managing their facility matters and assisting in capital budget
development, all of which ensures that the facilities are available for their programs.
BUDGET FUNCTION
Building Maintenance is more than repair what doesn’t work. It is management of utilities, space
utilization, renovations and replacements. It requires the understanding of how the mechanical
components interaction with each other. The task is more than Building Maintenance, it is
Facility Management.
The goal of Facility Management is to provide a building that is inviting, providing a sense of
welcome and arrival at the entrance. li must have a community orientation. Customers must
feel comfortable using the services at the facility. The space also needs to be flexible so staff
can focus on their current and future missions and not be concerned about the limitations of the
bricks and mortar.
The vision for this Department is to be proactive, not reactive. This will take several years due
to the backlog of maintenance and repairs, lack of dedicated staff to the facilities effort and lack
of historical data.
‘Components of.a well-managed facilities program encompasses:
Preventative Maintenance Schedules
Repair Protocols
Space Needs Programming
Energy Audits
Facility Inspections
Alarm Testing
Inventory Control (Asset Tracking)
Custodial Methods
Life Safety Systems
Security Systems
ADA (Barrier Free Buildings)
Environmental Permit Compliance
Indoor Air Quality

The following facilities are assigned to this Department:
Town Hail
Library

Community Center
Youth & Family Services
Police
Municipal Complex (including all buildings on the property)
Jordan Park House
Nevins Cottage
Eugene O'Neill Theater (assistance as needed)

ooo 0 000000
ie)
The budget presented is primarily an operations (fixed costs) budget. The Department is
obliged to pay utility bills (water, sewer, electricity, heating (oil and natural gas), comply with
environmental permits, perform life safety inspections (sprinklers and fire alarms), manage
intrusion alarms and contract for custodial services for approximately 250,000 square feet of
municipal space. Funding for new construction, major replacements of equipment or
renovations to the existing space are found in the Capital Improvement Program.
The Department is unable to provide a 5 year look back for this budget. Facilities expenses
may have been combined with other expenses in each department's budget requests in the
past. Any attempt to separate out these costs would be labor intensive and questionable to its
accuracy. We will build forward that data base ensuring proper accounting in each area.
Staffing: Under the direction of the Public Works Director, a Facilities Maintenance Coordinator
manages the Facilities. This is the only person assigned to this department.
Facilities uses the time from the Public Works Office Coordinator for support staff.
Facilities is responsible for the utilities (Water, sewer, heating oil, natural gas and electricity)
consumed at the buildings listed previously as weil as the 5 Fire Stations.
Electricity: The Finance Department has entered into a 5 year fixed price for the purchase of
electricity. The rate is $.0919/kwh. This is for generation only. Transmission rate (Eversource)
will be reviewed by PURA in early 2023. Facilities is responsible for 40 accounts to include
those of the Fire Stations and Police radio sites (5).
Water: We have 22 accounts that we manage. We have not budgeted any rate increases.

inspections are required to keep the Town in compliance with the Fire Code. From these
inspections, items are identified to be tested or components repaired.

______ Public Works Department.
Opening Statement
The focus for Public Works is to maintain our roads, our Fleet and Mobile Equipment, manage
the collection and disposal of solid waste and equally important focusing on;
e Achieving a high level of customer service
e Excellent information management
e Compliance with enviromental operating permits
e Ability to respond to emergency management incidents
Public Works is about community. Every day, the Department touches thousands of residents
and businesses, through solid waste collections, recycling programs, stormwater management,
resurfacing roads, sidewalks, snow removal and storm response, just to name a few.
Public Works also plays a vital role in advancing the quality of life by seizing the opportunity to
build for the future. Focusing each project on the new requirements and methods of service
delivery, we address those needs while staying focused are what makes this community a great
place to live and work.
Despite the challenges we faced in another year of the pandemic, the Department maintained
uninterrupted levels of services and support to the residents, while accomplishing significant
achievements.
Last year we had 2 employees retire from the Department, taking with them 81 years of
knowledge.
One of our abilities is to perform regular public works duties and be ready at a moment's notice |
to react as first responders during natural disasters with a common goal, to get the community
back functioning. What is readily not known is that the role of Public Works as a first responder
was codified in when President George W. Bush issued Homeland Security Presidential
Directive 5 (HSPD-5), Management of Domestic Incindents in 2003 stating that all agency types
must work to operate under the same National Incident Management System (NIMS). Thus,
Public Works departments are considered part of the official ranks of first responders by the
General Emergency Management Agency’s guidelines for disasters.

FY2024 BUDG :QUE:! -
Public Works Department
The four Divisions of Public Works are:
Administration
Briefly, the division manages and accounts for our assets, manages personnel, prepares the
Captial Improvement Plan, plans for emergency management and diaster mitigation and
incorporates sustainable practices into public works practices.
Highway Operations (...it is not just the asphalt...)
It is important for the residents to have well-maintained roads to ensure that traffic flows as
smoothly and safely as possible. In order to accomplish this, the Department mixes in-house
with contracted work to provide a cost effective delivery of services.
Solid Waste .
The collection and transportation of waste and recyclables to disposal sites and the operaton of
the Transfer Station and the closed landfill all fall under this division.
Equipment Maintenance -
This division’s skilled mechanics perform services and reparis from the simple $125 weed
wacker to the $390,000 automated collection truck.
Budget Function
The budget is what is required to maintain the infrastructure. It is an operations budget with little
flexibility. The Department is obliged to pay bills for water, waste disposal, environmental
permitting and repairs. The roads must get plowed, diseased trees removed and our drainage
systems kept clear.

This appropriation as requested is to provide professional support to the Public Works
function. In all projects, certain specific technical review is required to be provided from
this appropriation as follows:
Employment Physicals & Random Drug/Alcohol testing- New employees and
seasonal employees are provided a physical prior to starting work with the Town.
Random drug and alcohol testing is performed on a quarterly basis for
employees that hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). (Federal
Requirement) $5,800

Xe.
TOWN OF. WATERFORD —
-FY2024. BU DGET REQUEST _
_ Public Works. Department
With this appropriation, we will complete the requirements of the General Permit to have a
Stormwater management plan in place.
The MS4 General permit mandates the Town to develop, implement and enforce best
management practices (BMP’s) for the six Minimum Control Measures. BMP’s are defined for
each Minimum Control Measure. For the six minimum control measures, the Town has identified
38 BMP’s. One of the largest impacts is that the permit requires the Town to implement a
screening and monitoring program for all outfalls that discharge to impaired waters as defined in
the most recent Connecticut Integrated Water Quality Report. The Town must also meet certain
criteria for discharges to impaired waters, or waters which nitrogen, phosphorus, bacteria or
mercury are Stormwater Pollutants of Concern, or waters which have pollution load reductions
specified within the Total Maximum Daily Load(TMDL is the water quality implementation plan’
established pursuant to Section 303 of the Clean Water Act). There are now requirements for
any new discharges to both impaired and high quality waters.
The Town will continue with the services of a consultant, Barton & Loguidice, to assist the Town
in remaining compliant with the MS4 General Permit plan. Although Town staff will perform
tasks whenever possible, many of the activities are technical or time sensitive.
Activities associated with mandated requirements in general are:
e Water Quality Sampling
e Review of Waterford’s Stormwater Management Plan for compliance
e Ongoing inspections of catch basins and stormwater facilities
e Complete mapping of 15” diameter piping or less of the storm drainage system
MS4 Total 
$50,000
Environmental Compliance:
In addition to the MS4 permit, the Department is responsible for numerous environmental
permits and regulatory obligations.
