Clay Major Facilities Manager The ENGINEERING DIVISION is responsible for the design and construction management of public infrastructure projects, including roads, storm water drainage, sanitary sewers, sidewalks, and parks. We also provide technical services and support in the form of engineering reviews, and infrastructure records to residents, developers, consultants, Town Boards and Commissions and all Town Departments. The Engineering Staff is designing or managing the design of improvements to; the Felt Road Bridge over the Farm Brook, the Main Street Bridge over Stoughton’s Brook, Deming Street between Buckland Road and Grandview Terrace, Nevers Road between Lake Street and Miller Road, Avery Street Drainage by Philip R. Smith School, replacement of the culverts crossing Graham Road just north of Ayers Road, and the reconstruction of Kelly Road. Engineering personnel also, managed the installation of two athletic fields at Rye Street Park, replacement of the culverts crossing Miller Road and Ellington Road, and the construction of the new expanded Community Center parking lot. We continue to add information on roads, sanitary sewers, and storm drainage to the Town’s Geographical Information System (GIS). Engineering staff inspected the construction of roads, sidewalks, sanitary sewers, and storm drainage for Phase 1 of the Dzen Subdivision and other developments. We participated in the Public Works Day at Philip R. Smith School, giving the children an opportunity to learn about taking care of our storm water drainage systems, and to view 12 | Town of South Windsor: Annual Report 2007/2008
Department of Public Works maps we have in our Town Geographical Information System and to see how the survey equipment works. The Division provides comprehensive technical reviews of proposed subdivisions and commercial/industrial site plans to the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Inland Wetland Agency/Conservation Commission, and the Water Pollution Control Authority. In addition, we are responsible for recommendations concerning subdivision bond amounts and their reductions. We interface daily with residents providing a wide variety of services such as locations of utilities, assistance with sanitary laterals, storm water drainage, and other inquiries. The Engineering Division was also responsible for the issuance and construction inspection of 100 Drain Layers Permits for sanitary sewer connects and 214 Street Excavation Permits. In addition, we reviewed 45 building permit requests to ensure that they met the requirements of the Planning and Zoning approved plans. We have reviewed 45 plans for new development and performed site inspections for 50 requests for Certificates of Occupancy to make sure they met Town regulations, subdivision approval conditions and the approved building permit site plan. Jeffrey Doolittle, P.E. Town Engineer The STREET SERVICES DIVISION of the Public Works Department maintains the Town’s road and drainage infrastructure. There are approximately 138 miles of road to sweep, repair potholes, remove snow, pick up leaves, line paint, repair signs and clean catch basins to name just some of the ongoing programs this Division performs annually. The employees of this Division strive to find more efficient ways to complete these tasks and deliver services to the residents of South Windsor. The Division had a very successful year with the completion of our annual resurfacing projects. We purchased a pavement management software program in 2005 and have been implementing it into our road maintenance planning process. All of the Town’s roads were surveyed in the initial survey in 2005 and 25% of the Town’s total road inventory is resurveyed each year. The new software can report on where we are with respect to pavement conditions as well as providing us accurate information for approximate funding levels needed to keep our roads at the current level or range we had. Our PCI (Pavement Condition Index) rating for the Town’s entire road inventory was an average of 84 at the time the survey was done in August of 2007. This year the cost for asphalt has risen dramatically along with the cost of everything else. In 2005 one ton of asphalt cost $51.12 put in place compared to the current cost which is $96.07. The amount of work that can be done at the current funding levels will be less and will have an adverse effect on our road conditions.
