Lights in the courtyard will be a vandalism problem, they should be on <br /> the building, out of reach. <br /> - Paul questioned the need for a loading dock. They are only as good as <br /> the size of the truck that arrives. Scissor lifts are a good alternative. <br /> Review the need for a retaining wall ! <br /> - Why are there 2 water services? Bob said usually the Fire Department <br /> wants a continuous loop with 2 tie ins, in case something happens to one. <br /> - Why a 6,000 gallon grease trap - that seems excessive. <br /> - Why isn't the oil tank next to the building? Bob said they are trying to <br /> keep it as far away from the well site as possible. <br /> Paul said the Water District sent a letter stating their concerns about an <br /> oil tank on site. <br /> -Some places still show granite, needs to be poured in place concrete. <br /> - Need to see a detail of the clock/PA system. <br /> - Display cabinets - too many, they are expensive. Do they have a purpose? <br /> - Metal column in the hallways, will get destroyed, maintenance problem. <br /> Review this design. <br /> Dave Rich from the Water District joined the meeting . Paul read Mr. Rich 's <br /> letter to the Committee. Mr. Rich explained these concerns are his, not <br /> those of the Water Commissioners. <br /> Mr. Rich said his concern is the 16, 000 gallon oil tank adjacent to the <br /> wastewater treatment plant. It is in close proximity to a P1 well site and <br /> numerous other private wells. He is concerned about the scope of <br /> contamination should a spill occur and the effects a high volume spill <br /> would have on the Quashnet River. <br /> He also has concerns about the generator using diesel . <br /> Bob explained they can ' t use gas because it is an interuptable source of <br /> energy. Could use all propane. <br /> Paul told Mr. Rich the Committee will research it further. <br /> Mr . Rich is also concerned about the oil tank. <br /> Paul explained the Committee takes the issue of oil spills very seriously. <br /> The tank will be in a precast concrete vault to contain any spills. <br /> Loading of the fuel will have a flow back, to the containment unit. <br /> He explained, the project manager did a value analysis on the duel fuel <br /> system. To use a duel fuel system today there would be a $70-80,000 <br /> savings. He would be happy to use only gas except for the savings. <br /> Mr. Rich said oil fluctuates more than gas. He is concerned what the <br /> saving will be in a couple of years. <br /> Bill said the Com Electric Canal plant is converting to duel fuel because <br /> of the savings. <br /> Paul said his research shows when the Soviet Union starts competing with <br /> OPEC prices will come down. <br /> Mr. Rich explained he didn't even know there was a concrete tank there or <br /> why it was being done, he only saw the oil tank. That is why he is here <br /> tog et more information. <br /> Paul said it will not be a project cost savings but an operational savings. <br /> The Committee will provide the engineer with Mr. Rich 's input and will take <br /> the issue very seriously . <br /> Mr. Rich said he would like the opportunity to give input on the <br /> containment so he is as comfortable as he can be. <br /> 8 <br />
