From: Gary J. Schneider, Director of Public Works 2
‘Date: October 24, 2022
Re: Elevator Reconditioning, line item 2051 1-57874
The Department is requesting additional funding in thé ariount of $32,350. This
project is to recondition the elevators at YSB and Town Hall. The additional
funding is required to be in compliance with Sec 31 53(g) Prevailing Wage Rate -
- as the project is over the. $100,000 mark.
The Town secured a contract with Otis Elevator. Otis Elevator is a union
contractor and their hourly + fringe meets the requirement of Séc 31. 53(g).
Prime Electric is a non- -union contractor, and was assigned asa sub-contractor to
Otis Elevator. They had quoted a. price to the Town that excluded this
requirement of prevailing wage + fringe. Both contractors need to.be in.
compliance.
Please place this. request on the next Board of Selectman’s meéting scheduled
for November 1, 2022, and forward to the Board of Finance.

MEMORANDUM TOWN OF WATERFORD DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
To: Rob Brule, First Selectman .
From: Gary J Schneider
Date: October 26, 2022
Re: Request for Additional Paving Program Funds, $1,762,736
The Town has made a good start in addressing years of delayed work on our road network. This
year, we completed Daniels Ave, the northern portion of Niantic River Road, Gardiners Wood
Road, Lake Pond Road and Butlertown Road. lf additional funds are available, | have identified
several roads to be addressed.
Approving the funding of the additional roads by January allows us to engage our contractors
when they are first setting their schedules of work for the construction season. Approving funds
for large projects in the normal funding schedule (July) puts the Town ata disadvantage in getting
any work completed before the end of the construction season.
To guide the Town on what roads to address, we continue to use the pavement management
update completed for the entire network. This formal evaluation provided a systematic, consistent
approach to the evaluation of the present condition of the road surface. It is used to prioritize the
work. It was not intended to replace sound engineering judgment, which should dictate specific
needs for an individual project.
These roads are in need of structural improvement or rehabilitation. This is defined as milling the
top two inches of old asphalt from the surface and replacing with new asphait or full depth
reclamation, where the asphalt is ground up and mixed with the base to establish a new base and
then resurfaced with two to 4 inches of new asphalt.
Major/Minor Collector Streets
Niantic River Road $610,208: (#194 south to Mago Point Way); will complete the road
Oil Mill Road $653,382: was bumped from first round of funding for Gardiners Wood

Dear Mr, Brule,
CNR fuhds were approved in the FY 23 budget te support surface transportation projects which
encompass roads, street accessories; sidewalks, arid bridges, ‘The objective is to provide safe,
attractive; and efficient public transportation ways and infrastructure systems that support them.
From the rains that were the result of the remains of Ida,.he bridge over the Hunts. brook at
Bloomingdale Road (bridge # 06139) was overtopped causing the closure of the read, some
erosion of bank near the abutment and some minor asphalt road surface was ldst. An analysis of
the bridge in 2014 found that the brook will overtop the bridge ina 4 27 year storm.
Over topping of the bridge will shut Bloomingdale Road to traffic. The.flows from Hunt Brook at
this time would also overtop Old. Norwich Road, a major concern for emergency services as this
would increase résponse tine.in this area. Addressing the bridge is the priority. "
Public Works and Planning will work with the Engineér to.complete this phase of the project.
Please place this on the next Board of Selectman meeting for consideration and forward to the
Board of Finance,
The. scope of the engineering work is attached.

RE: REVISED Proposal for Professional Services, Prepare Study to Evaluate Hunts
Brook Flooding at Bloomingdale Road Culverts and Surrounding Properties,
Waterford, cT
Dear Mr. Schneider:
As discussed, the Town of Waterford has experienced flooding on Hunts Brook, at the
Bloomingdale Road culvert and adjacent properties. As requested, Lenard Engineering,
Inc. (LED , a Division of Haley Ward, is pleased to submit this proposal for the Towns
review and acceptance. | :
SCOPE OF SERVICES
1) Conduct, Records and Mapping Research - LEI will conduct record research for the
current Bloomingdale Road culverts, including past plans, design calculations,
hydraulic reports, permits, FEMA mapping and other available sources. We assume
that the Town will make all pertinent records available to us.
2) Wetlands Delineation and Reporting — Eliminated from Study Scope.
3) Conduct Field Survey and Base Mapping - LEI will prepare a Class T-2 topographic
survey and a Class D boundary survey in vicinity of the current culvert group. The
survey will be tied to the NAD-83 horizontal datum and the NAVD-88 vertical datum.
in addition, LEI will:

a) Survey up to eight cross sections of the Hunt’s brook channe! for use in hydraulic.
modeling. LEI anticipates the need to survey four cross sections upstream and four
cross sections downstream of the culverts. All cross sections will fall within a
distance of 500 feet of the current culverts.
b) Locate and determine elevations of structures within 500 feet of. Bloomingdale
Road Culverts.
_ Where access to private property is required, we will ask the Town approach.
property owners and obtain approvals in advance of our survey. In addition to Hunts
Brook and the culvert,
Following completion of field surveys, LEI will:
c) Prepare a base map of the project site at a scale appropriate for analysis and
design,
d) Compile hydraulic cross sections of the Hunt’s Brook flood plain using field
survey data for the channel and LIDAR data for overbank areas.
Establish Design Flows - LEI will review past design information for the Bloomingdale
Road culverts to determine whether hydrologic calculations were prepared. LEI will
also utilize the USGS StreamStats web tool to generate peak flow rates for the 2, 10,
25; 50, and 100-year return-frequency storms.
LEI will compare the two sets of flow data and render an opinion as to which method
provides the most reliable method for predicting peak discharge rates at the subject
culverts. LEI will then issue a written recommendation for design flow to the Town.
LEI will seek the Town’s concurrence with LEI’s design-flow recommendation prior
to commencement of the hydraulic analysis.
Determine Design Recurrence Interval — LEI will recommend a recurrence interval for
design following a review of requirements set forth in Town standards, the ConnDOT
Drainage Manual, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Connecticut General Permits.
LEI will seek the Town’s concurrence with LEI’s design recurrence-interval
recommendation prior to commencement of the hydraulic analysis.
Mr. Gary Schneider { 10-19-22 | JN | Page 2

of the study reach using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS software. The
models will include the following scenarios:
a) Existing Condition
b) Natural Condition (Existing Condition with the culverts and road embankment
removed)
c) Proposed Condition (up to two alternatives will be considered)
Proposed-Condition alternatives will be developed by trial-and-error methods to
achieve several project goals, including: ;
» Pass the design flow rate with the required freeboard,
« Eliminate or minimize roadway overtopping.
-» Eliminate or reduce flooding of nearby homes and private property.
e Limit the increase in 100-year upstrearn water surface elevation to one-foot
above the 100-year Natural’Condition water surface profile.
For each alternative considered, LET will prepare comparative water surface profiles
for each recurrence interval. Each plot will compare the Existing, Natural, and
Proposed-Condition water surface profiles to assess the relative impact of each
_ alternative.
Sketch Plans — LEI will prepare a conceptual plan, roadway profile, and longitudinal
section for each alternative under consideration. These drawings will be prepared to a
level of detail appropriate for use in the preliminary design report.
Conceptual Cost Opinions — LEI will develop conceptual cost opinions for up to two
alternative structure types.
Draft Conceptual Design Report ~ LEI will summarize our findings and
recommendations in a draft design report. The report will include a summary of
hydrologic calculations, selection of design recurrence interval, hydraulic calculations
and results, and sketch plans for each alternative. The report will summarize the
_ advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, impacts on roadway overtopping and
adjacent structures, relative costs, permit requirements, etc.

intersection of Old Niantic River Road and ends-at the intersection of West Street.
Existing conditions:
1. Niantic River Road has concrete curbs and thus sets a hard edge location for the
sidewalk.
2. Generally, the road has no. shoulders, thus the travel lané extends to the concrete curb,
the sidewalk can’t move into the roadway. .
3. ADA guideline of a minimum of 36” clearand a max of 60” width for sidewalk.
4. if only 36” width of clear space is provided, the guidetine requires a 60” x 60” “pad” ‘every
200 feet.
5. Moving the pole line is not viable because of issues of aerial trespass, guying of poles,
and possible need of span poles to guy some of the poles that then may require
additional permanent easements.
6. The entire length of the sidewalk is less than 60” wide and most, if not all of the ADA
ramps don’t meet code:
7. The length of the sidewalk (Old Niantic River Road to.RT 156) is approximately 6,900
feet,
8. Of the 39 pole locations in this area, 21 poles are placed outside of the asphalt sidewalk
and the current walk provides the 36” minimum width. There are 14 locations that would
require minor new work and 4 locations (pole nufnbers. 6317, 6322, 6324 and 6344) that
have what appears to have private fixed improvements within the Right of Way. or right on
ihe property line. In any case, they would need to be moved. It is not known if additional
‘i fijaa Pos, Eporovek

right of way will need to be acquired in order to achieve the.36" clear space for these
locations,
9. The 4 locations would require the services of a professional land surveyor to identify in
the field the property line at the 4 locations. Funding for survey, purchase, design and
construction would be required.
The scope of the enginéering work is attached. This phase is to determine what will be reguired
fo reconstruct the existing sidewalk to meet ADA. requirements of a 60” wide sidewalk with. proper
ramps at the roadway intersections and eliminate the interference at the 4 locations.
