Engineer’s Report Egg Harbor Township MUA
September 21, 2021
Engineering Projects 1. Emergency Maintenance Contract Arthur Henry completed the replacement of the pre-cast top slab at the WillowBrook station earlier this month. We have recommended a payment in the amount of $ 10,500.00 to Arthur Henry from the Operating Account for the work completed. 2. ACUA Contract Administration The ACUA maintenance reports for the past month have been normal. The ACUA assisted by utilizing their vactor jetter unit to clean the Joanne and Brookside stations last month. There are four (4) stations operating with only a single pump for various issues. Pump No. 1 from the Joanne station was removed and sent to Willier to obtain a repair quote last month. We approved the quoted repair amount of $7,795.00 and expect the pump to be back in service by early October. The Langford station is down to a single pump due to a controller issue. We are working on obtaining a replacement controller. The Old Zion station is still operating with a single pump. We are in the process of putting together a bid package to replace the existing pumps, discharge piping and top slab and hatch. We are still waiting for the ACUA to schedule the repair work approved for FAA pump no. 2. They have been shorthanded the past few weeks.
3. Wet Well Cleaning Contract Administration Caprioni Family Septic completed the normally scheduled basket and wet well cleanings over the past month. They assisted with emergencies at the Joanne station and with the Godwin at the Miami station.
Caprioni cleaned two Linwood wet wells last month. We have recommended a payment in the amount of $10,509.00 from the Operating Account for the work completed in August. 4. Spills There were no spill incidents within the last month. 5. Delancy / Hingston Generator Replacements Our office was finally able to make headway with Atlantic City Electric to have a crew available to permit Scalfo to replace a portion of service feed for the Bayport station. The work is scheduled for Tuesday, September 21st. No payments are due at this time. 6. WillowBrook Pump Station B&H Contracting completed the replacement of the interior discharge piping, base elbows and associated components earlier this month. They installed the new pumps and the new equipment has been in operation for a few weeks. We have recommended a payment in the amount of $16,020.00 from the Operating Account for the work completed. 7. Pump Station Component Painting A preconstruction meeting was held last week and the contractor anticipates starting work in early October. They believe the surface prep, priming and application of the final surface coats will take a total of 4-5 weeks. 8. FAA Pump Station Relocation Our office is finalizing the bid documents and will be meeting with the FAA later this month to review any additional requirements prior putting the project out for bid. We anticipate having the project ready in a few weeks.
9. 2021 Video Inspection and Main Cleaning A preconstruction meeting was held earlier this month. The contractor began work last week and expects to be finished in approximately 5 weeks. Developer Projects Extension Applications 1. F.W. Webb The contractor has completed the installation of the off-site sanitary main. They must still complete all testing and as-built requirements. Connection Applications 1. James Lin - 2808 Fire Road The submitted application is for the connection to the sanitary system for the renovated single-family dwelling. The proposed force main connection will extend through the adjacent property, Car Toyz, and discharge through their lateral connection. 2. Prasad Yerra - 7 Winnepeg Avenue The applicant is proposing to extend the existing sanitary sewer along Winnepeg Avenue to provide service for the residential dwelling located at the end of the street.
