IV. PUBLIC WO -WATER WATER REPARTMENT EQUIPMENT An annual capital appropriation is included to provide for:the ongoing replacement of equipment on a scheduled maintenance program. Funds may be carried from one fiscal year to the next in order to provide funding for high value, large water capital equipment: NORTH WESTFIELD StREET.WATER MAIN CONSTRUCTION The treed for the 24 inch water amain in North Westfield Street from the intersection of North Street and North Westfield was first recommended in 2009 by Tighe and Bond based on a hydraulic model of the Town's water system. The 24 inch water main is the highest priority of the infrastructure improvements required to supply water to the Tb 's water distribution system in the event that Springfield's southerly water transmission main were to be shut off for repair or replacement. The project consists of the installation of a 24 inch water main from the intersection of° north Westfield Street and North Street to Springfield's middle transmission retain. The project also - 22 Town of Agawam Capital Improvement program, as Amended Fiscal Year 2014 — Fiscal Year 2018 calls for installation of a 12 inch water main to from the middle transmission main to the intersection of North Westfield Street with North West Street and the installation of an 8 inch main the remainder of the distance north on North Westfield Street to the Westfield town line. At that time ( 009) it was;planned to have the water main improvements incorporated into the overall reconstruction of North Westfield Street(Rt. 187)but that project has been hindered with permitting delays and has not reached the 75% design threshold) required to place it on the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission's Transportation Improvement Flan for funding. In the meanwhile,on November 26, 2012 Springfield's southerly transmission line experienced a failure between North West and North Westfield Streets resulting in the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission "SW SC") shutting down the southerly transmission line from Provin Mountain to Colemore Street. The southerly transmission main is approximately 84 years old. The SWSC has conducted an inspection of the pipe and is currently rendering repairs to allow the line to be brought back into service for the near-term, but the failure and the results of the inspection on this section of pipe have pushed the scheduled replacement of the southerly transmission line up significantly. Due to the acceleration of the southerly transmission line replacement project by Springfield, the Town of Agawam needs to proceed with the North Westfield Street Water Main Improvement Project independently of the reconstruction of North Westfield Street to ensure that the Town has an adequate supply of drinking water. MAIN SUFFIELD AND REED STREETS WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENT e Springfield Water and Sewer Commission is planning maintenance work on their transmission mains from: which we receive our water. A portion of the mains will be takers out of service for the work. Hydraulic modeling of our system indicated that we do not have sufficient capacity in our distribution system to insure adequate pressure for our residents if we lase service from more than one connections. We need to build flow capacity in an east-west direction. Funds are requested to construct a?twelve inch water main on Reed Street to replace 650 feet of six inch asbestos cement pipe and 1,050 feet of four inch cast iron pipe. This will also improve the east—west flow capabilities as well as fire flows. Town of Agawam Capital Improvement Program, as Amended Fiscal Year 2:014 — Fiscal Year 201 SILVER STREET—ELM STREET WATER REPLACEMENT Funds are requested to replace the existing -six inch main running between Main Street and Suffield Street with a twelve inch main to improve the east — west flow capabilities as well as fire flows. SOUTH STREET WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT Funds are requested to replace the existing six inch main with: 5,420 feet of eight inch ductile train water main. V. MISCELLANEOUS PLACE PERMIT TRACKING SOFTWARE e Town of Agawam utilizes a permit tracking system "MGMS" to track and manage its building related permits: The application is being utilized fair beyond its capacity and the performance of the application continues to suffer to the paint where looking up information can take 20 to 30 seconds per query. Upgrading permit tracking software would allow the Clerk's office and the DPW to manage their permits and business licenses electronically in MLNIS. Funds are included in appropriations to both FY2014 and FY2015 for full implementation in FY2015. FIRE DEPARTMENT HYDRAULIC EXTRICATIQN EQUIPMENT JAWS OF LIFE' Funds are requested to replace two hydraulic power plants and hoses that are in excess of twenty- five 25) years old.

Cohen, Mayor Date. April 8, 2013 Subject; Capital Improvement Program (Fiscal Year 2014-2018 Pursuant to Section 5-3 of the Agawam Home Rule Charter, I hereby submit the Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2014 to Fiscal Year 2018 to the Agawam City Council. The Capital Improvement Program is a prioritized plan of proposed capital improvements over the next five fiscal years. The major purposes of the Capital Improvement Program are as follows (a) to develop and prioritize needed proposed capital improvement projects, (b) to research and estimate the revenue necessary to fund proposed capital improvement projects; (c) to set parameters on the revenue dedicated to fund proposed capital improvement protects;and (d) to forecast future principal and interest expenditures, The program presented represents a realistic financially feasible long term program that has been reviewed with the Council Capital Improvement Sub-Committee. As revenue estimates become available, revisions shall be made and incorporated in the capital budget portion of the annual'budget. Please call with any questions. Respectfully submitted, Mayor Richard A. Cohere Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2014 - Fiscal "ear 2018 INT&ODUCTION For the purposes of this Capital Improvement Program, a capital improvement is a project or undertaking which provides for ( ) the planning, design, construction, reconstruction, renovation or replacement of a public building or facility; (ii) an addition to a public building or facility; (''.) the purchase of land, buildings or facilities for a public purpose; or (iv) a long range development study. While the type of improvement is the basic criteria, a project costing at least $20,000 that has a life expectancy of ten (10) years or more is generally considered to be a capital improvement. The Capital Improvement Program is designed to accomplish the following purposes. L To utilize town funds for capital improvements:which are:compatible with the.. town"s mission of effective and efficient provision of quality services to the citizens and businesses of Agawam whichain turn enhance the quality of life in our community; 2. To undertake Capital Improvement Projects on coordinated basis; . To inform the community when needed and planned Capital Improvement Projects and corresponding expenditures are to be expected and initiated in the future; 4: To utilize town funds on the basis of community priorities in coordination with the availability of grantsand/or other state, federal or private reimbursements; and 5. To undertake Capital Improvement after careful planning and financial analysis to avoid 2 an undue burden on the to "a fiscal capacity now and in the future. After many years of limited capital investment, the town was faced with many desperately needed projects which had to be undertaken in spite of projected limited revenue growth. Fiscal restraint and careful planning are required to assure long term stability, and care must be taken in project development and implementation in order that bond sales are timed so that principal and interest costs occur in the year scheduled. In addition, the funding requirements of the Education Reform hill have placed severe limits on the To 's ability to undertake needed capital improvements. In developing this Capital Improvement Program the following general assumptions on fiscal capacity were assumed and applied; l. Growth , total property tax revenues will continue to be limited by the restraints is of Proposition 2 l and no debt exclusion overrides are contemplated in this plan, . The town will pursue the maximum property tax revenue allowed by Proposition 2 1, For the upcoming fiscal year and future years, the Administration is continuing to recommend a greater emphasis be placed on capital improvements; and 4. During the next five years, the town should: a. Appropriate as much funding as possible annually from the general fund for capital improvements on a pay as you go basis while maintaining existing service levels b. Utilize the Stabilization Fund if necessary to assist in meeting the above referenced goal for level principal d interest payments. 3 The process of capital planning involves setting priorities within the fiscal capability of the to Each year the entire plan is reviewed in light of changing needs and requirements. There are more needs for improvements by town departments that can be included in a five year time period, and certainly the net school spending requirements of the Education Reform Bill may cause further delays in snaking capital improvements. In developing the recommended Capital Improvement Program, the following priorities were addressed. 1. growth - The town must meet the needs of a growing population and at the same time direct and manage growth through the timing of public utility expansion;' . Improve or Assi;j Servige Delivery - Projects that will reduce the need for staff increases or make staff operations more efficient have been given priority; .. Facilities New and Maintenance of Existing Facilities - When Proposition 2 1 was implemented communities were forced to delay constructing new facilities and defer maintenance on existing facilities which has led to the current backlog of need for new facilities and the provision of maintenance to existing facilities, and . Prior commitments e Town is bound by commitments made in,prior years; e commitments were considered in the proposed budget and program. The attached Capital Improvement Program was developed around the previously cited constraints and program objective . It includes a bonding and appropriation plan for each of the five program years, a brief description of each project item, spread sheets and charts showing existing and proposed band payments and graphical. representations of these payments. 4 Town of Agawam Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2014 - Fiscal Year 2018 JEi5ggl Yegr 2Q14 ApprQp rialion Schedule General Fund Appropriations Projected P olect Description Amount Hampden County Land Acquisition $9, 00.00 Department of Public Works Equipment $19 ,000.00 Street Improvement Program $1 0,000.00 Sidewalk Rehabilitation and Extension $5,000.00 Permit Tracking Software $35,000.00 Fire Department Station 2 Electrical Service $7 ,000.00 Fire Department Hydraulic Extrication Equipment (Jaws of Life) $22,000M Inspections Services Department Motor Vehicle $18,66 .00 Clark School Energy System $13 ,000,00 Junior High Rooftop Air Conditioners $240,000.00 TOTAL 5 Town of Agawam Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2014 - Fiscal Year 2018 Eiscal Yggr 2014 o 1 chcd t. d Wastewater Fund Appropriations riations Projected oiect Oescri tine Amoun Wastewater Equipment Replacement $47,174.00' TOTAL Water Food Appropriations Projected ft.ject Deseriplion Qlwt Water Department Equipment Replacement $47,147,00 TOTAL A&Iwam Munic; ate 1 Golf . u s Awro 'ations Projected `ect'I e- Lion Municipal Golf Course Equipment Replacement $10,000,00 TOTAL 1 = 6 Town of Agawam Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 201 - Fiscal Year 2018 Fiscal Year 20141 ondina Schedule neral Fund Pro°ects Projected V Year Project Descri ion unt Debt Service Pine Street Road Improvements $ 24,000.00 $68,580r00 Suffield Street Drainage Improvements $300,000.00 $33,500,00 High School Bathroom and Locker Room Renovation $2,08 ,000.00 $1 8,825.00 Early (childhood Center S4,000,00U0 $380,000.00 Wastewater.

FEEDING HILLS -:SOUTHWEST AREA SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION This project involves extension,of the sewer service to the southwest portion of Town. This project is on the City Council agenda and has been tabled indefinitely. The project continues to be included in the Capital Improvement Program in order to provide for ongoing discussion of this project and alternative• solutions in an effort to;alleviate the high costs and the burden that would be placed on businesses and residents not directly beneftting from this expansion. The first ~phase of this prograrn is complete, Funds are included for construction for recently combined Phases 11 and 111, followed by additional construction in the second subsequent year.

WESTFIELD RIOTER BACKUP FORCE MAIN' Failure of the newer force main during fiscal year 28 required emergency repairs during which the 10 inch backup force main was used to continue flows to Bondi's Island. This backup force main should be completed to be ready to be put in service should any of the existing four river crossings fail in the future, Assistance will be sought from local communities that share the use of the force main, IV, PUBLIC WORKS - WATER WATER DEPARTMENT EQUIPMENT An annual capital appropriation is included to provide for the ongoing replacement of equipment on a scheduled maintenance program. funds may be carried from one fiscal ;year to the next in order to provide funding for high value, large water capital equipment. -22 Town of Agawam Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2014 — Fiscal Year 2018 NORTH WESTFIELD STREET WATER MAIN CONSTRUCTION The need for the 24 inch water main in North Westfield Street from the intersection of North Street and North Westfield was first recommended in 2009 by Tighe and Bond based on a hydraulic model of the Town's water system. The 24 inch water main is the highest priority of the infrastructure improvements required to supply rater to the Town's water distribution system in the event that Springfield's southerly water transmission main were to be shut off for repair or replacement. The project consists of the installation;of a 24 inch water main from the intersection of North Westfield Street and North Street to Springfield's middle transmission main. The, project also calls for installation of a '12 inch water train to from the middle transmission main to the intersection of North Westfield Street with North West Street and the installation of an 8 inch main the remainder of the distance north on North Westfield Street to the Westfield town line., At that time (2009) it was planned to have the water twain improvements incorporated into the overall reconstruction of North Westfield Street (Rt. 187) but that project has been hindered with permitting delays and has not reached the % design threshold required to place it on the Pioneer Valley planning Commission's Transportation Improvement Flan for funding. In the meanwhile, on November 26, 2012 Springfield's southerly transmission line experienced a failure between North West and, Forth Westfield Streets resulting in the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission (`aSWSC") shutting down the southerly transmission line from Provin Mountain to Colemore Street. The southerly transmission; main is approximately 84 years old. The SWSC has conducted an inspection of the pipe and is currently rendering repairs to allow the line to be brought back into service for the near-term, but the failure and the results of the inspection on this section of pipe have pushed the scheduled replacement of the southerly transmission line up,significantly, Due to the acceleration of the southerly transmission litre replacement project by Springfield, the Town of Agawam needs to proceed with the North Westfield Street Water Main Improvement Project independently of the reconstruction of North Westfield Street to ensure that the Town has an adequate supply of drinking water. 23 Town of Agawam Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2014 — Fiscal Year 201 MAfN SUFFIELD AND REED STREETS TER MAIN IMPROVEMENT The Springfield Water and Sewer Commission is planning maintenance work on their transmission mains from which we receive our water. A portion of the mains will be taken out of service for the work. Hydraulic modeling of our system indicated that we do not have sufficient capacity in our distribution system to insure adequate pressure for our residents if we lase service from more than one connection. We need to build flow capacity in an east-west direction. Funds are requested to construct a twelve inch water main on Reed Street to replace 650 feet of six inch asbestos cement pipe and 1,050 feet of four inch cast iron pipe. This will also improve the east—west flow capabilities as well as fire flows. SILVER. ST ET-ELM STREET WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT Funds are requested to replace the existing six inch main running between Main Street and Suffield Street with a twelve inch maim to improve the east — west flaw capabilities as well as fire flows. SOUTH STREET WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT Funds are requested to replace the existing six inch main with 5,420 feet of eight inch ductile iron water main. V. MISCELLANEOUS PLANE PERMIT TRACKING SOFTWARE The Town of Agawam utilizes a permit tracking system ("MGMS") to track and manage its building related .permits. The application is being utilized far beyond its capacity and the performance of the application continues to suffer to the paint where looking up information can take 20 to 30 seconds per query. Upgrading permit tracking software'would allow the Clerk's - office and the DPW to manage their permits and business licenses electronically in MUNIS. Funds are included in appropriations in both FY2014 and FY2015 for full implementation in FY2015. 2 Town of Agawam Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2014— Fiscal Year 2018 FIRE DEPARTMENT HYDRAULIC EXTRICATION EQUIPMENT( AWS OF LIFE Funds are requested to replace two hydraulic power plants and hoses that are in excess of twenty- five (25) years old.
