Glenn Patterson, Chairman
TO: BOARD OF SELECTMEN
RE: FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS
FY 2026-2030
In FY24, the Town of Waterford closed 18 capital projects that were approved and funded. The
town continues to focus on completing past projects currently in FY25 and remains committed to
funding necessary projects moving forward. These outstanding approved capital projects,
contractual obligations, unanticipated supply chain costs and increases, and insurance cost hikes
make it necessary for me to continue a “partial moratorium” on any new capital projects that would
require an increase in our tax rate. My capital plan recommendations span three periods, each
detailed below:
1. Current Approved Capital Projects
2. FY26 Capital Budget Requests
3. Projected Capital Requests Outside the Budget Cycle
Current Approved Projects
‘The rationale behind focusing on current approved projects is to continue my commitment to
completing and closing past capital projects, which were approved and funded by taxpayers in
previous years. This commitment is part of my “Capital Completion Plan,” now in its third year
of implementation. The town completed or closed 18 capital projects over the past year, expending
$4,706,728.01, and will continue to work on projects that remain in various stages of completion
in FY25.
Evergreen Pump Station 4th Pump for $369,309
IT Learning Boards for BOE for $1,074,657
Road Paving for $325,915
Financial Software Upgrade for $157,508
Harvey Avenue Pump Station Rehab for $1,082,496
‘The town will continue to complete capital projects that remain in various stages of completion in
FY25. The largest of approved projects in FY24 and FY25 from the Unassigned Balance of the
General Fund were:
Community Center HVAC $300,000
Amold E. Holm Memorial Park ADA Improvements $273,428
Town Hall Basketball Courts $117,808
FY2026 Capital Budget Requests
The rationale for the FY26 capital budget requests is to maintain appropriate funding for Current
‘Year Capital Improvements and Transfer to Capital Non-Recurring Requests, while absorbing a
staggering $1,142,379 increase in Insurance (23% increase), Fire Services for two additional full-
time firefighters (increase $326,705), Police Department (increase $134,453), Building
Maintenance (increase $124,176) and Recreation & Parks for an additional maintainer (increase
$50,248).
By presenting a capital request that includes necessary projects, I aim to ensure a responsible
general operating budget, balance budget requests, and address necessary increases in various
departments while completing critical capital projects and paying down Debt Service as scheduled.
This approach will ensure I present a responsible general operating budget. A town operating
budget absorbing increases in To accomplish my goal of presenting a responsible budget to
Waterford residents, while completing necessary capital projects and paying down Debt Service
as scheduled, I am increasing the Capital and Debt Service lines in FY26 by 2.86% or $296,516
for projects like:
$1M for Fleet Management
$125,000 for Revaluation
$243,335 for BOE Energy Efficiency program
$638,172 for Utility Commission projects
$25,000 for a new Tree Replacement Program
$15,000 for Fire Alarm Replacement at Quaker Hill Fire Company #2
Projected Capital Requests Outside the Budget Cycle
‘The rationale for submitting projected capital requests outside the budget cycle, in accordance with
current Board of Finance policy, is to address priority projects using the General Fund Balance.
This approach focuses on Town Infrastructure, Board of Education needs, and Waterford Beach
Park and Library improvements. Over the next five years, I will request the Board of Finance
consider using $5M from the General Fund Balance for these critical projects, ensuring a balanced
approach to funding and maintaining a healthy General Fund Balance within the Board of
Finance’s revised range.
Heads to apply for all available grants through state and federal agencies. Specifically, over the
next five years, I will request the Board of Finance consider using General Fund Balance, as the
funding source for the following:
+ Road Paving projects
«© Town Water & Sewer projects
+ Board of Education & Town Building projects
By requesting the Board of Finance consider and approve $5M in capital project spending from
GFB over the next five years, it will leave approximately $15M in the town’s General Fund
Balance - within the Board of Finance’s policy range of 13%-15% of total expenditures. This
proposed five-year capital plan reflects my recommendation for funding or not funding the
project(s) as requested and the manner of that financing. I have continued to consult with
Department Heads and have “pushed out” projects on the plan and recommendations, covering the
next five years.
Further, I have attempted to balance budget requests and “needs” knowing the town currently has
approximately $20M in reserve funds that residents have already contributed to through prior
taxation and an additional $23M already appropriated for 69 capital projects. The Town’s use of
the “General Fund Balance” is a decision made by the Board of Finance. I will continue to
recommend committing a portion of GFB for new capital projects, as needed. Based on the past
two years’ feedback and support funding received capital requests outside the capital cycle, I am
again recommending the town expend General Fund Balance as approved by the Board of Finance.
‘The information supporting this plan is contained in a binder, which includes the CIP Guidelines,
Capital Improvement Fund balances, and all the capital improvement requests by our departments,
In addition, my recommended plan for the 5-year planning period is attached with my comments,
along with the summary of the budgets for the CNR & CYC for the FY 2026 budget. This
document and binder constitute my recommendations for the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for
Fiscal Years 2026-2030. The Town Charter requites the Board of Selectmen ratify these
recommendations. [ anticipate reviewing these recommendations with the Board of Selectmen at
the upcoming budget meeting and hope the Board will ratify the plan. Please feel free to contact
Kim Allen, Finance Director, or myself with any questions you may have and thank you for your
continued commitment to the Town of Waterford.

Total Combined Pricing of all Additional Fees $13,365.19
Estimated Pre-Tax Total $257,597.28
The minimum fee for off-site services is $10,000 per project. Ricoh will invoice based on the actual number of
units processed multiplied by the unit cost as referenced in the above table. Pricing does not include shipping
costs of deliverables.
Production Workflow Notes
Ricoh is extremely sensitive to the fact that we are handling confidential legal, PHI, HIPAA and/or business-critical documents.
‘As such, Ricoh designed its document handling procedures around the tight security standards established for evidentiary
and privileged documents relating to extremely sensitive litigation matters. This allows us to maintain strict confidentiality
‘and chain of custody throughout the entire workflow.
Ricoh is also sensitive to the fact that we frequently handle active files that our clients rely on during the regular course of
business. When a file from a box that is identified as being “out for imaging”, Ricoh’s Rapid Response service can be activated
to retrieve and return the original(s) or produce an electronic copy that can be downloaded securely. Ricoh’s entire imaging
workflow and customer service is designed to not adversely impact daily business operations.
Pricing Notes:
‘The foregoing price quotation is valid for 30 days from the date of this proposal. Unit prices are based on the volumes and
assumptions as detailed in the Production Scope & Assumptions section and are contingent upon analysis of a representative
‘sampling of source media and indexing methodology.
‘Should the scope or process vary from the assumptions outlined herein, Ricoh reserves the right to submit a revised proposal based
‘on definitions representative of the true project scope and technical requirements. The “Estimated Pre-Tax Total" listed above is.
calculated based on the aggregate of al unit pricing multiplied by their corresponding quantities. This estimated total is not a fixed
‘cost estimate and is intended solely as a general cost estimate. Ricoh will invoice for actual volumes processed.
Ricoh and Client acknowledge that the services and prices that are offered to Client herein are based on the assumptions
contained within this response, and assumptions to be identified by Ricoh during its more detailed evaluation and scope
Assumptions:
1. Transportation quotes are valid for 10 days, and subject to change due to variances in fuel, courier fees, etc.
2. Archival “Glasswork” imaging would be required in the event the condition of the originals are fragile/antique, hard
bound, or the integrity of the document(s) would be compromised by placing them into a mechanized document
handler/feeder for scanning.
3, Imaging Pricing assumes originals are in good condition without frayed edges, tears, or brittle/antique paper, not requiring
‘Special Handling or use of a carrier sheet to facilitate scanning,
4. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - Provides keyword search capal
will provide a revised quote.
‘a. OCRis not recommended for oversize maps, photo images, drawings, floor plans files, etc.
b. OCRis not a reliable method for extraction of handwritten, serif font, small type font under 12 point, data in
tables or charts, etc. and should not be considered a reliable method for obtaining “searchable” files in
larger PDFs. Ricoh cannot guarantee all words and characters will be captured consistently.
©. OCR will not be performed on any microform images. Ricoh cannot guarantee the consistency of OCR on
microform media.
5. If processing exceptions exceed 3% of the total volume, the Change Order Process will be
disp
6. Ifreturning originals, original media will be returned to Client thirty (30) days after associated image delivery is complete.
Upon Request, for a transport fee, originals may be returned to Customer Site, within 30 days of Scan
7. If shredding, original media will be shredded by Ricoh within thirty (30) days after associated image delivery is complete
‘and Ricoh has written Client authorization to proceed with document destruction. if written authorization is not received
within 30 days, original media will be returned to Client and will incur additional return shipping fees. Original Images will
be shredded based on the schedule of fees outlined herein.

High-Level Project Plan
Intiation Planning Testing Production Close Out
** Note: DIT (Datea Interchange Test) requires Ricoh ASG Technical Services and client approval which may impact Pproject
imeline,
‘The Ricoh project manager assigned to your account will be responsible for directing all phases and will be the primary point
‘of contact for the entire project. The project manager will execute the operations based on a structured methodology
approach. The Ricoh project manager will ensure that each of the phases has mutually agreed upon objectives and deliverable
products. Both Ricoh and your organization will have defined responsibilities in each phase, and accordingly both will share
in the project success. Transition from one phase of the project to the next shall occur only with Customer expressed approval,
The activities for each phase are described below:
Pre-Production —After contract award, Ricoh’s project manager will lead a kick-off meeting with Customer. After kick-off,
Ricoh begins work with Customer to finalize procedures and quality specifications.
During this phase, the Ricoh project team works with Customer to complete the Conversion Services Project Plan (CSPP) and
presents it to Customer for approval. The purpose of the CSPP is to provide a detailed, documented reference for the
complete execution of the project. In the plan, the project manager describes in detail all of the logistical, operational and
technical requirements, specifications and procedures of the project.
‘After approval of the CSPP, Ricoh performs a data interchange test (DIT). The DIT is an end-to-end test of workflow and
procedures, and is performed to verify both the technical and logistical elements of the project. The results of the DIT are to
be reviewed by Customer and any required adjustments will be communicated back to Ricoh. Ricoh will not proceed with
production until a successful DIT is completed and approved by Customer.
Production —with Customer's approval of the interchange test, Ricoh will pick up boxes of files to begin the scanning
production and produce deliverable images. The production process will mirror the DIT model.
Ricoh will work with Customer to ensure that the implemented process, scan, index, and import are meeting all of Customer's
requirements,
During production, Ricoh will generate monthly reports of production statistics. The format of this report will be developed
with Customer but should include totals of documents and images produced and delivered and invoice summaries,
Close-out - The Ricoh project manager closes out all open items and issues and performs a final reconciliation. The project
manager conducts an end-of-project meeting. Optionally, data reconciliation reports can be produced detailing anomalies,
such as documents in database but not delivered, documents delivered but not in database, duplicate documents or indices.
