MINUTES OF THE PUBLIC WORKS & SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE November 1, 2021 Auditorium Present: Councilmembers Rader, Bullock, Shachner Also Present: Director Ducu, Engineer Papke, Director Leininger, Chief Dunphy, Director Corrigan, Clerk Bach, Deputy Clerk Lascu taking minutes Call to order: 7:05 p.m. Approval of the minutes of the Public Works & Sustainability Committee held July 27, 2021. Chairman Rader approved the minutes without objection. RESOLUTION 2021-41 -A RESOLUTION to take effect immediately provided it receives the affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the members of Council, or otherwise to take effect and be in force after the earliest period allowed by law, authorizing the Lakewood City Engineer to prepare and submit an application to participate in the Ohio Public Works Commission State Capital Improvement and/or Local Transportation Improvement Program(s) and to execute contracts as required. (Referred to PWS 9/7/21) Engineer Papke stated that the city sent two grant applications to the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC), one being for 2023 water main replacements on Elmwood and Reveley from Madison to Athens, and on Parkwood from Detroit to Madison. Public Works worked with other departments to determine which streets would be best for water main replacement. The other application concerned the Lakewood interceptor tunnel rehabilitation project, which involves the replacement of 19,000 linear feet of tunnel lining. The infrastructure was built in the early 1900s and is experiencing failures on the roof of the interceptor due to the hydrogen sulfide that's turning into acid. This project has been deemed a very high priority as it is part of the city's Integrated Wet Weather Improvement Plan (IWWIP). Chairman Rader inquired about the amount of the number of projects submitted for grant applications. Engineer Papke iterated that just two projects were submitted and that each was scored on its own merit and against the merit of other applicants. Chairman Rader asked for more detail on the water main improvements, specifically what they involved and the timeframe. Mr. Papke indicated that improvements to Parkwood would be IWWIP related, involving manhole separations, new test Ts, lateral lining for each property. Elmwood and Reveley improvements would involve lining and pavement repairs. Construction on the projects would be anticipated for 2023, with the design being done next year. Motion by Chairman Rader, seconded by Councilmember Shachner to recommend Resolution 2021-41 for approval by the full Council.
