AGENDA
1. Agreement: Final Design Davis Brook Storage Tank, AECOM Task Order 23 and AECOM Task
Order 24, Final Design of Stone Sewer Replacement & New Regulator Structure
Andy and John discussed AECOM Task Order 23 for the Davis Brook combined sewer overflow
storage tank 3.8 million gallon capacity that would replace the old 1.2 million gallon tank for
$727,649. AECOM Task Order 24 was for the Davis Brook outfall which was a stone sewer
running along Railroad Street that was collapsing and a new regulator structure would be
installed for $147,375. Both would be under the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan and were
required per the Consent Decree. Construction timeline was expected to be over two seasons.
Vote: Note vote.
2. Discussion: State Street/Exchange Street Heated Sidewalks
John explained the project and cost associated with installation of heated sidewalks which also
included enhancements to the sidewalk along Exchange Street, a portion of State Street, and a
portion of Harlow Street at State Street.
The City reached out to the abutting business owners who were supportive and agreeable to
the City installing the infrastructure and the business owners each, at their expense, would be
installing and maintaining heating units to heat those sidewalks. The funds for installation of
the heating infrastructure and sidewalk pavers/concrete were expected to come from
Downtown TIF funds.
Committee suggested continuing installation up Park Street, which Staff noted was being
considered as a future project.
