The existing undersized main was installed prior to 1965. This project will replace this main with new eight-inch (8”) cement lined ductile iron pipe water line. The new water main will provide City of Dover customers with improved water quality, increased system reliability and improved fire protection. The bid was advertised to the public as an Invitation to Bid in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy by the City’s Purchasing Agent under ITB #21-0015WW. Bids were opened on December 1, 2020.

The necessary budget amendment will be covered by a budget transfer from project WQ2001, CIP Project Name: Water Quality Improvement Project, Account No.: 401-40-68-99-000-5403 and WQ2101, CIP Project Name: Water Quality Improvement Project, Account No.: 401-40-68-99-000-5403 TIME TABLE: Upon approval, contractor schedule work to begin for Fiscal Year 2021 and complete prior to June 30, 2021. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends awarding the contract to Corrosion Control for Elevated Water Storage Tank Inspection & Maintenance ten (10) year contract. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS This project includes annual inspection and reporting on the status of seven (7) elevated storage tanks and fully clean and paint both the exterior and interior of each elevated storage tank once within the contract period of ten (10) years. Also included in this contract is the following (inspection and reporting required): exterior cleaning and painting of the Granular Activated Carbon Columns (GACC) & Anti-Siphon Loop, exterior painting of the Lime Silo, interior cleaning and painting of the Lime Mix Tank, exterior inspection of the pressure filters, and cleaning and painting of the Water Treatment Plant Clear Wells (hereinafter referenced as WTP Facilities). The organization or individual must be familiar with relevant American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards and Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Source Category Permit requirements. This proposal was advertised to the public as a Request for Proposals in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy by the City’s Purchasing Agent under RFP – 21-0001WW. Proposals were received on September 15, 2020. The City of Dover received one (1) proposal: Contractor Location Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Year 10 Cost Cost Cost Cost Cost Cost Cost Cost Cost Cost Corrosion Pedricktown, $583,615 $145,615 $654,615 $138,615 $96,615 $73,115 $175,615 $116,615 $188,615 $71,165 Control NJ Corp. The City of Dover budgets for this work in the Operating Budget of the Water Treatment and Production Division. Staff budgeted $155,300 for the current Fiscal Year. Due to DNREC permit requirements, activities in the first year of this contract will require dry abrasive removal of the existing paint on a water tank. These new requirements require the tank to be tented while the old paint is removed, which significantly increases the cost of the work. This work will also occur in year 3 of the proposed contract. If approved, staff will budget for each out year in the operational budget, except for year 3, which is proposed to be budgeted in the Capital Improvement Plan. The shortfall for this proposed work will be supplemented by a budget amendment from the savings of the Water Quality Improvement projects. A breakdown of the funding sources is provided below:

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council Committee of the Whole (Utility) AGENDA ITEM NO.: DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Water & Wastewater DATE SUBMITTED: 12/30/2020 PREPARED BY: Jason A. Lyon, P.E., Director of Water & Wastewater SUBJECT: Wellhead Redevelopment Program – Change Order REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: City Manager EXHIBITS: N/A EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $198,600 AVAILABLE BUDGET: $140,000 FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): Department of Water & Wastewater- Water Management, CIP Project #WD2101, CIP Project Name: Wellhead Redevelopment Program Account No.: 401-40-68-99-000-54031. The necessary budget amendment will be covered by a budget transfer from project WQ2101, CIP Project Name: Water Quality Improvement Project, Account No.: 401-40-68-99-000-54031. TIME TABLE: Upon approval, contractor will be released to work to complete all work by June 30, 2021. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council approval of the proposed amendment to the Wellhead Redevelopment Program and provide additional funding to make the necessary improvements to our wells. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Fiscal Year 2021 Capital Improvement Plan included the Wellhead Redevelopment Program. This project was budgeted at $140,000. This work is conducted by AC Schultes, which was awarded a multi-year contract to perform well inspection and repairs in July of 2018. The contract is for three (3) years with the City option of two (2) one (1) year extensions. The original plan for this fiscal year was to inspect and conduct repairs on the following wells: 8R, 9, 10 and PW6A. Unfortunately, well 2 encountered unexpected issues and needed to be repaired, which caused the depletion of the original budget. Additional issues have now surfaced and need attention. These include a new intermediate pump that is used for our shallow wells in the Columbia Aquifer, new variable frequency drives (VFD) at well 2 and 10, and a redevelopment of shallow well 5A, which has encountered production issues. This proposed change order will also provide enough money to inspect the scheduled well inspections for this fiscal year. These proposed repairs were unforeseen and are necessary for the Water Treatment and Production Division to maintain their production levels and meet demand of the City’s customers. The prices provided for these improvements are provided by the contract that the City has entered into with AC Schultes. The shortfall for this proposed work will be supplemented by a budget amendment from the savings of the Water Quality Improvement projects. A breakdown of the funding sources is provided below: Funding Description Current Total Project Over / Requested Proposed Source Budget Cost Under Change Budget Budget Remaining Water WD2101- Wellhead Redevelopment $140,000 $140,000 $0 $58,600 $0 Program Water WQ2101- Water Quality Improvement $980,500 $775,774* $204,726 ($58,600) $146,126 *-Assuming that Council Committee of the Whole and Council approves the Committee Action form entitled, “Evaluation of Bids – Ross Street and West Street West Alley Water Main Replacement” and the “Evaluation of Proposals – Elevated Water Storage Tank Inspection & Maintenance” Staff recommends approving this change order to increase the reliability and efficiency of our well system. The funds are available from previous project savings and will make the improvements now, instead of waiting for the next budget.

ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council Committee of the Whole (Leg & Fin) AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Water & Wastewater DATE SUBMITTED: 12/30/2020 PREPARED BY: Jason A. Lyon, P.E., Director of Water & Wastewater SUBJECT: Disposition of City Owned Land – Right of Way Adjacent to 107 Silver Lake Drive REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: City Manager EXHIBITS: Exhibit A: Legal Description of Land to be Disposed Exhibit B: Minor Lot Line Adjustment Plan Exhibit C: Section 2-422 – Sale and Disposition of Real Property, City of Dover Code of Ordinances EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: $ N/A AMOUNT BUDGETED: $ N/A FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): N/A TIMETABLE: Applicant to complete property transfer if approved, upon Council action. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the City Manager to sell the property located adjacent to 107 Silver Lake Drive, to Bruce D. & Della M. Parham for $1.00 under Exception D of the Section 2-422 of the City of Dover Code of Ordinances BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The property owners of 107 Silver Lake Drive, Bruce & Della Parham approached the City to request that excess right-of- way adjacent to their land be added to their property. The southern property line for this address is approximately thirty- eight feet (38’) north of their neighbors southern property line. The proposed disposition of land would provide a uniform width of right-of-way on this street. The resulting right-of-way width will be fifty feet (50’). Due to the existing width of the disposed land in question, this property would not be considered a buildable lot. Additionally, the City will still have right-of-way on Silver Lake Drive all the way down to Silver Lake. Based upon the above facts, the City Manager’s Office has determined that the parcel of land is excess in nature and that the disposal of same would be beneficial to the City of Dover and hereby requests that the Dover City Council consider the disposal in the amount of $1.00. Staff is recommending waiving the appraisal of the land value, due to the limited potential use of the property in question.

EXHIBIT C Sec. 2-422. - Sale and disposition of real property. (a) Authorized. Except as otherwise provided and upon approval of the city council, the city manager is hereby authorized to sell or dispose of excess property. (b) Determination of excess status. The city manager, upon determining that a city owned parcel of land is excess in nature and that the disposal of such land would be beneficial to the City of Dover, will request, through the legislative, finance, and administration committee, that city council consider disposal of such land. (c) Costs of conveyance. Unless otherwise specified by the city council, all fees and costs, legal or otherwise, associated with the sale and conveyance of all excess lands shall be paid by the purchaser. (d) Standard method of disposition. (1) The legislative, finance, and administration committee, upon receiving a request to dispose of excess real property, shall, prior to making a recommendation to city council, request all pertinent information including, but not limited to, the following: a. Determination that subject parcel is not required by any other city department. b. Written explanation of why subject parcel is now surplus. c. Determination of whether a zoning change would enhance the sale value of subject parcel and recommend said change if warranted. d. Determination if the parcel's exact location and size is known and, if not, recommend whether said parcel should be surveyed by the city prior to any sale attempts. (2) City council, after receiving a positive recommendation from the legislative, finance, and administration committee to dispose of a surplus parcel of land, shall, as part of its deliberations: a. Determine if disposal of the parcel is in the city's best interests. b. Determine if disposal by sale, gift, or some other means would best serve the city's interests. c. Determine if the city planner should be requested to initiate rezoning procedures. d. Publicize the pertinent information concerning the surplus parcel and its availability for purchase to the general public at least once a week for two weeks in a local newspaper. e. Make public, and a part of the record, all written correspondence received and, after the publicizing requirements of subsection (2)d. are met, hold a public hearing to receive any other citizen input. (3) City council, after voting to proceed with the sale of surplus land, shall determine: a. If an unbiased appraisal is needed to establish a minimum acceptable price. b. Whether to sell the parcel by public auction or by sealed bid, and what the minimum acceptable offer will be. c. The degree and scope of advertising, with a minimum of exposure being advertisement once a week for two weeks in a newspaper of general circulation within the county. d. Whether the circumstances of and surrounding a particular sale may be such that the best interests of the city would be served by listing the property for sale with a licensed real estate agent. (4) City staff shall, with city council's direction: a. Arrange for advertisement of the sale. b. Draft the sale bill setting out a description of the parcel to be sold, time, date, and place of sale or bid opening, the terms and conditions of sale, and the city's reservation of acceptance or rejection of any or all bids received at the time of sale or bid opening.

EXHIBIT C c. Order and distribute a sufficient number of sale bills for posting and distribution in the county courthouse, at the site, and in the general area of the parcel. d. Obtain the services of a professional auctioneer if said sale is to be a public auction. e. Conduct the sale and submit the results to city council. f. Obtain the services of a licensed real estate agent if the sale is to be brokered. (5) City council, after confirming the sale, shall: a. Request the city solicitor to prepare a deed for execution and to arrange for final settlement with the purchaser, at which time the city will deliver the deed, the purchaser will pay all balances due, and the city solicitor will record said deed in the Recorder of Deeds Office for Kent County. (e) Exceptions to standard method of disposition. (1) Exception A—Sale to an abutting owner. When, in the opinion of city council, a public sale would be detrimental to the lands of an abutter, and/or that a public sale would place the abutter at undue risk; or that the combination of abutter's land and city's land would be substantially greater in value than that of the sum of the parcels considered individually, city council may direct the city assessor to have prepared one or more unbiased fee appraisals of the parcel. Thereafter, the subject land will be offered for sale to the said abutter at the appraisal price, plus the appraisal fees, plus the legal costs. In the event the offer is not accepted, a public sale may be ordered. Examples of detrimental affect might be when the surplus city parcel lies between an abutting property and the street and development of the parcel would obstruct visibility of the abutter's property, or when the surplus parcel is zoned multi-family and abuts a single-family parcel. (2) Exception B—Trade of lands. Trade of lands may be approved when it is shown beyond doubt that such a trade will be equal to or better than the lands to be traded either on a "square foot for square foot" measure and/or on a "dollar for dollar" measure. (3) Exception C—Conveyance of odd shaped and/or unbuildable parcels. City acquisitions for roads, utility usages, etc. may, after such usage is accomplished, leave a small strip of land that is odd shaped and unbuildable. City council may approve the conveyance of this strip of land to an abutting property owner on request of said owner. The price for these lands shall be at the same cost basis as that paid by the city. If conveyance is made in excess of two years after the date of city acquisition, then the consideration shall either be based on a price established by an unbiased fee appraisal made on the basis of the value added to the abutting property by the acquisition of said lands, or on the city's cost basis for the parcel adjusted for inflation, whichever city council shall select. All fees, legal or otherwise, associated with the conveyance are to be paid by the purchaser. (4) Exception D—Sale of small or irregular shaped lot to an abutting owner. If any excess parcel of land is too small or irregular in shape to be of any value to anyone other than an abutting owner, it may be sold to such owner at either its fee appraised fair market value, or at its fair market value as established by the city's assessment records, whichever city council shall select. The costs of the appraisal and all legal costs shall be paid by the owner requesting the conveyance. (5) Exception E—Donation of land to non-profit organizations. If, in the opinion of city council, the donation of a parcel of excess land to a non-profit organization would be in the best interest of the city, council then reserves unto itself the right to make such donation.
