Town's Concerns
Record drawing for force main and resolution of TV inspection at Talbots and sewer repair, including air release valve, on North Street still outstanding. Manhole cover is offset and needs to be realigned prior to final paving. David Polcari of CDM presented a letter on excessive infiltration at North and Central Street. A sewer service was clogged and needed repair due to grout infiltration. CDM will forward the bill for the sewer connection repairs to Cashman. There is a sag in the sewer pipe in North Street that needs to be addressed.
The Town is still exploring the Town Brook easement. The Town engineer suggests a 42" or 48" siphon for Town Brook. A meeting is necessary to look at a new design. CBB suggests a meeting with sewer representatives to resolve outstanding issues.
The Town has provided estimate for North Street paving. The Town requests an executed MOU from CBB. There is still a disagreement on the Contractor's responsibilities.
The Town is waiting on an overall project schedule. The M BTA says it will be available soon.
Sewer odor problem has been improved but not entirely eliminated.
Punch list continues. Major items remaining are largely related to sewer work. There is agreement by all parties on the outstanding issues.
Cliff Prentiss will produce a shop drawing for a gate design for the Town Brook to show DEP.
The Town raised the concern about the amount of dewatering going on in the boat sections.
