Utilities Work Orders CITY MANAGER S REPORT FOR CITY COMMISSION MEETING MAY 8, 2017 Resolution , approved by the City Commission on February 28, 2017, authorizes the City Manager to expend a not to exceed amount of $4 million available in the water and sewer fund. This utility work is being performed by Killebrew, Inc. and is repair work that must be done prior to resurfacing work which the City Commission approved on February 28, I have authorized the following

3 535 construction work orders on May 1. They are listed below: West Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard from Alexander Street to the railroad crossing. Design and install via pipe bursting of approximately 3,000 LF of 8 to 18 sewer main and install 23 new poly water services and replace approximately 33 gravity sewer lateral connections. Substantial completion is 145 calendar days and the compensation is $737, East Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard from the railroad crossing to Park Road. Design and installation of approximately 67 new poly water services along the existing 8 /6 water mains to replace existing water services. Substantial completion is 90 days and the compensation amount is $259, Mobley Street from West Baker Street to Strawberry Drive. Scope of work includes design and installation of approximately 12 new poly water services south of Spooner Drive. Substantial completion is 45 days and the compensation is $42, I am recommending to the City Commission that a new position defined as Construction Inspector be added to the Capital Improvement group in our Utilities Department. Currently, our Utilities Department doesn t have a Construction Inspector. Over the next five months, $3.5 to $4 million worth of utility rehab work will be done pursuant to the Killebrew contract that was approved by the City Commission on February 28. The utility work is being done before the street resurfacing work on many collector and local roads can commence. The purpose of the Construction Inspector will be to do the following: For utilities construction projects, quality control and risk mitigation means making sure construction is conducted according to the plans, specifications, and permit requirements. An onsite Construction Inspector helps ensure: o the project is constructed per plans and specifications; o helps mitigate change orders by monitoring the installation, materials, and equipment incorporated into the project; and o documents daily activities including adherence to safety practices. The Construction Inspector keeps a daily documented construction log that can be referred to and utilized throughout the construction phase and post construction if needed. The City being actively involved (including properly documenting daily activities) during the construction phase will help mitigate change orders to the project, helping to keep the project on time and on budget. A paygrade 23 will be assigned to this position and the hiring range for a qualified inspector will be between $43, and $56, The position will subject to a brief recruitment period, so our goal is to fill this position promptly. Our thinking is that outsourcing this function to a private sector consulting firm will cost between $120,000 and $149,000 for a five month period. Thus creating the Construction Inspector position will save a substantial amount of money for our ratepayers. Additionally, our Utilities Capital Improvement program will have multiple projects under construction during the next five years, so there will be plenty of work to support this position. The ongoing collection system condition assessment is

4 536 expected to recommend a 5 to 10 year capital improvement plan for collection system repairs or replacements. Recommendation: Add a fulltime Construction Inspector to the Utilities Department budget as an FTE in the FY16-17 budget and continue to budget for this position in future fiscal years. Annual cost at this point is approximately $60,000. The Utilities fund has the revenue to fund this position in FY16-17 as well as future fiscal years. 2. Royal Hills & Country Hills Smoke Test Utilities Maintenance will conduct smoke testing on all of the sewer lines in the Royal Hills and Country Hills subdivisions on May During the smoke testing customers may notice smoke coming from the sewer ventilation stacks on the roof of their homes. The smoke will not enter the homes unless they have a defect or a dried out p-trap. Notification will be done by door hangers and will also be in the newspaper.

7 539 May 3, 2017 TO: Mike Herr, City Manager FROM: Diane Reichard, CFO SUBJECT: Financial Report as of March 31, 2017 Attached are the Financial Reports for the quarter ending March 31, The reports include Budget vs Actual, Income Statement for Enterprise Funds, and the CIP Project report. GENERAL FUND General Fund revenue finished the first quarter strong with 60% of the overall original budget being collected, primarily because the majority of property tax revenues are received in the first quarter resulting in 93% of the property tax budget being collected for the year. Expenditures reported lower than budget at 45%, with all divisions under target except Special Appropriations which are normally paid out in one lump sum. Revenues exceeded expenditures by $2,506,514. This excess will dwindle during the year as property tax revenue is used to pay operational costs. STREET FUND The Street Fund revenues received fell short at 41% of the original budget being collected due to their normal lag of one to two months. Expenditures were right on pace using 46% of the total budget; however, due to the lagging revenues, expenditures exceeded revenues by $117,540. ENTERPRISE FUNDS The Water/Sewer Fund, compared to budget, showed revenues 51% collected; while expenses were less than target at 31% resulting in a net gain of $1,456,801. In viewing the income statement, the fund posted an overall operating gain of $3,958,683, and a change in net position that is greater than target. Compared to Budget, the Solid Waste Fund revenues are 46% collected and expenses (excluding the loan transfer) are 45% of the budget, which results in a net gain of $59,706. The income statement shows operating revenues exceed expenses by $471,126 with a change in net position being slightly greater than target. The Stormwater Fund revenues collected were 46% of budget, while expenditures tracked closely at 44% of budget, which resulted in expenses exceeding revenues by $287,440. The operating income posted was $280,033, and change in net position is greater than target. CIP PROJECTS The projects, listed by project number, include total funding from prior years less the amount spent through September 30, Many projects encompass two years and the asset management projects provide for future funding as necessary.
