MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 27, 2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD (CSAH 112-CSAH 6) DESIGN PROPOSAL — Continued Edwards noted they also reviewed the work completed by the school on the corridor and used some of that information. Printup asked what the infrastructure is like underneath the road. Edwards stated on the southern half of the corridor, the water and sewers pipes were installed in the 1960- 1970 era and consist of cast iron for the water piping and clay piping for the sewer. Both have limited life spans. Edwards stated they have noticed in this area issues with the soils interacting with the pipes causing them to decay and fall apart, which has resulted in a number of water main repairs at a higher than expected rate. The clay piping for the sanitary sewer is prone to inflow and infiltration as well as roots and other things, which causes the piping to break fairly easily. Edwards indicated the water main will likely be a complete replacement and that they will look at different options on the sewer line, such as complete replacement or cured -in-place lining. Edwards stated if the asphalt is torn up, that is the time to replace everything. Martini stated the first piece to finalizing this project is to authorize Bolton and Menk to design the proj ect. Walsh stated the City cannot do anything until the plans are finalized, which is step one in this process, and that the construction will probably take place over two school seasons. Edwards stated the project will likely be done in two phases, with the majority of the work occurring during the summer breaks. There were no public comments regarding this item. Dankey moved, Crosby seconded, to approve Bolton and Menk to commence design of the Old Crystal Bay Road for an estimated fee of $247,500, with the initial design work to be completed for a fee not to exceed $74,250.
