[5A. SCDOT FY 2022 & 2023 UPDATE]

BUSINESS.

MR. GREG MOORE.

YOU'RE UP FIRST FOR AN UPDATE ON S E D O T PROJECTS 2022 AND 2023.

SO WE ARE CHANGING THE HURRICANE CROSSOVER AT SALT MARSH DRIVE, AND THEN ALSO THE HILTON HEAD NATIONAL THAT ONE WAS DESIGNED AS THOUGH THE ROAD WAS STILL THERE.

JUST TO OUTLINE HERE, WE'LL GO OVER CLOSEOUT PROJECTS, ACTIVE PROJECTS, UPCOMING PROJECTS, OTHERS OUTSIDE OF MY OFFICE.

AND THEN ANY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FROM THERE.

NEXT SLIDE AGAIN.

CLOSE OUT BACKWARDS.

SO NONE IN THIS MEETING, WE HAD A COUPLE THAT WE TOOK OFF THE LIST LAST MONTH.

AND THEN AS WE HAVE THEM GO INTO COMPLETION AND CLOSE OUT, I'M HERE FOR ONE MEETING.

THEN I'LL COME OFF THE NEXT MEETING.

NEXT SLIDE.

SO ACTIVE PROJECTS.

WE'VE GOT S 2 78 INTERSECTION SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS, S 2 78, WHICH IS RESURFACING AS FOUR AS SIX EAST, WHICH IS SEATTLE PARKWAY AND HUNTING ISLAND STATE PARK.

UH, THE NEXT PROJECT THAT 69 90 IS THE ONLY ROAD LEFT.

THERE IS DRAYTON DRIVE AND ROW, AND THEN 5, 6, 6, 4, 10, UH, HAS THE LAST HALF MILE AT THE F BRIDGE.

AND THEN REMAINING ROADS ARE YET TO BE SCHEDULED ON THERE.

NEXT SLIDE 0 7, 5 42 30 IS INTERSECTION SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS DOWN IN BLUFFTON AND HILTON HEAD.

THE CONTRACTOR HERE IS EDO CONTRACTING SUBSIDIARY OF BANK CONSTRUCTION OUT CHARLESTON.

THE ORIGINAL COMPLETION DATE ON THIS JOB WAS JUNE 30TH, 2022.

HOWEVER, DUE TO SOME PROCUREMENT MASS ARM DELAYS THAT DATE'S BEING PUSHED OUT CURRENTLY, WE'RE WORKING ON A CHANGE ORDER RIGHT NOW TO PUSH THAT OUT THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER PROGRESS RIGHT NOW IS WORKING ON ASPHALT AT HILTON HEAD NATIONAL, ALONG WITH DRAINAGE BOXES OVER AT TARGET AND IN THE AREA CHANGES TO THE, FROM THE ORIGINAL SCOPE.

UM, THERE WERE SOME PIPES FOUND UNDERNEATH OF 2 78 THAT POSED A PRETTY BIG RISK OF ROAD FAILURE.

SO RATHER THAN BRINGING THOSE PIPES UP, EXCAVATING TRYING TO SECURE THE ROADS, THOSE ARE BEING FLOW FILLED.

INSTEAD, THERE WASN'T OVERSIGHT AND DESIGN.

[00:05:01]

UM, AND IT WAS WENT BACK AND FORTH.

NUMBER OF TIMES BETWEEN WHETHER WE WERE GOING TO DELINEATE IT, WHETHER WE WERE GONNA TAKE THE ROAD OUT, WHETHER WE'RE GONNA DO NOTHING.

AND THE DECISION WAS FINALLY MADE TO ACTUALLY JUST DELINEATE THOSE TURN LANDS OFF SO THAT NO ONE CAN ACTUALLY TURN INTO HILTON HEAD NATIONAL, BUT ALSO MITIGATE THE RISK FOR THE DEPARTMENT RECONSTRUCTION ON S 2 78.

APAC ATLANTIC IS THE AWARD CONTRACTOR HERE.

THEY HAVE A CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION DATE OF JUNE OF 2023.

THEY'RE ALL THEY'RE WAITING TO FINISH THEIR CONTRACT DOWN ON TOLL ROAD IN HILTON HEAD BEFORE THEY START THIS JOB.

SO ANTICIPATED STARTING IN FIRST QUARTER OF 23.

THANKS LIED AGAIN, PLEASE.

IF EITHER STOP ME DURING THE PRESENTATION OR YOU CAN SAVE TO THE AT, JUST KEEP GOING.

SO 5 6, 5, 6 2 6, THE ONLY WORK LEFT ON THIS IS OUT ON HUNTING ISLAND AND HUNTING ISLAND STATE PARK OUT ON SEA ISLAND PARKWAY.

THIS ONE HAS A CURRENT CONTRACT COMPLETION DATE OF 31, JULY 22.

HOWEVER, WE'RE LOOKING MORE AT A COMPLETION AND END OF NOVEMBER, DUE TO A NUMEROUS NUMBER OF SCOPE INCREASES BY THE STATE PARK TO TRY AND MAKE THEIR ROADS BETTER.

UM, BUT WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD, THEY HAVE IMPROVED A LOT.

THE ONLY WORK LEFT ON SALE PARKWAY IS SOME RIDEABILITY CORRECTIONS AND THAT INSIDE THE PARK YOU'VE GOT LAST WEEK, THEY WERE ON THE NATURE CENTER PARKING LOT.

AND THEN THEY HAVE LOTS J AND K, WHICH THOSE TWO ARE RECEIVING A DECENT AMOUNT OF IMPROVEMENTS, PRIMARILY FROM RAISING THE ELEVATION OF ACTUAL PARKING LOT.

SO PARKS AND RECREATION COME UP WITH THE FUNDING TO DO THIS.

THEIR FUNDING ACTUALLY THE, THE FUNDING FOR THIS ONE CHANGE ORDER ACTUALLY EXCEEDED THE OVERALL CONTRACT VALUE FOR THIS ORIGINAL.

SO I THINK WE HAD A ONE POINT SOMETHING MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT, AND I THINK THEY CAME IN LIKE 2.1, 2.2 MILLION FOR ALL OF THEIR WORK.

GOOD.

BUT PARK NEEDED A LOT OF WORK.

SO MATTHEW DID A LOT OF DAMAGE TO IT.

BUT EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD STATE, PARK'S HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT'S GOING.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S ALL'S IMPORTANT.

ACTUALLY LET THIS MONTH, THERE WERE TWO APPARENT BIDDERS ON THIS CONTRACT.

NEXT SLIDE.

SO 5, 6, 5, 6, 9 90.

THEY'VE BEEN OVER IN THE TOWN ORIGINALLY LATELY.

UM, BUT THEY ARE ABOUT TO COME OVER TO DRAYTON DRIVE IN PORT ROYAL.

THIS ROAD WAS ORIGINALLY A CMR B ROAD WHERE THEY WOULD BE MAILING OFF THE SURFACE MIXING IN SEMA COMPACTING.

IT PUTTINGS ON TOP OF IT, BUT DUE TO THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL WATERLINE LATERALS GOING ACROSS THE STREET AND THE POTENTIAL FOR WATER OUTAGES, WE'VE NOW SWITCHED THAT CONTRACT FROM BEING CMR B OVER TO BEING MAJORITY OF THE ROAD IS IN MELAN OVERLAY.

HOWEVER, DOWN AT THE FAR END AWAY FROM PARIS ISLAND GATEWAY, THAT IS GONNA BE A FULL AT PATCH AND THAT MILL AND OVERLAY THERE.

SO, WHICH, SO THE FIRST PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS GONNA BE RIGHT ALONG THE GATEWAY.

THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS GONNA BE THE FAR INTERSECTION WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE, THE ASPHALT DETERIORATION THERE.

SO, BUT ONCE THEY COMPLETE THAT ROAD, THAT'LL BE THE END OF THAT CONTRACT 5, 6, 6, 4, 10.

THIS CONTRACT IS THE ONE EVERYONE'S BEEN WATCHING OVER, BEEN TALKING ABOUT COMPLETING OUT SALE AND PARKING OUT TO THE FRONT BRIDGE.

UH, THEY'VE GOT A COMPLETION DATE THERE FOR THE END OF JUNE OF 23.

THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN OUT WORKING ON THAT LAST HALF MILE OUT TO THE FRET BRIDGE AND WILL, SHOULD BE COMPLETING THAT WITHIN THE MONTH.

AND THEN THE REMAINING ROADS ARE YET TO BE SCHEDULED.

I KNOW THEY SAID THEY WERE GONNA BE OUT AFTER LABOR DAY, BUT WITH FINISHING OUT ON HUNTING ISLAND FIRST, AND THEN THEY'LL START SWITCHING OVER NEXT SLIDE.

ALL RIGHT.

SO UP BACK ONE.

ALL RIGHT.

SO UPCOMING PROJECTS, 5, 6, 6 31 10 IS BEING LET IN NOVEMBER OF 22.

SO IN TWO MONTHS, THIS HAS THREE PRIMARY ROADS FOR BEAUFORD COUNTY.

YOU'VE GOT US 17 CHARLESTON HIGHWAY.

THIS IS THE SECTION GOING RIGHT UP TO THE COLTON COUNTY LINE, RIGHT UP TO THE BRIDGE.

THE SECOND ONE IS LANDS END ROAD, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT ISLANDS CAUSEWAY FROM LADIES ISLAND DRIVE TO WHITE HORSE.

UM, SO WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH TWO BIDDERS, APAC AND BLIGHT.

SO ISLAND'S CAUSEWAY FOR THE COMMITTEE'S BENEFITS.

WE'VE HELPED FUND, UH, LAST YEAR FOR THAT PROJECT.

[00:10:02]

THIS IS FOR ANOTHER, ROUGHLY FOUR MILES OF US, 2 78.

UM, SO ABOUT 4.1, ONE MILES.

AGAIN, IT'S GOTTA HAVE A LOT OF ATTENTION FROM TOWN OF HILTON HEAD RIGHT NOW TO TRY AND GET MORE 2 78 DONE.

SO, BUT THEN THIS ONE, I BELIEVE I DON'T HAVE A COMPLETION DATE ON THAT ONE YET, BUT IT'S, I SPOKE TO JEFF BUCKLEY WITH THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD YESTERDAY.

HE WAS ASKING WHEN THE COMPLETION DATE WAS, I IMAGINE IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE NEXT FALL SOMETIME.

HE SAID LAST NIGHT, JUNE 1ST, BUT I, I WAS QUESTIONING WHETHER THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

I SPOKE TO HIM YESTERDAY MORNING AND HE ASKED ME THAT QUESTION AND I TOLD HIM, I, I DOUBT JUNE.

I THINK IT'S EITHER GONNA BE LATE FALL IF IT'S GONNA BE FINISHED NEXT PAVING SEASON, IT'LL BE NEXT FALL SOMETIME.

UM, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT OPTIMISTIC, BUT THOSE ARE TWO STRETCHES THAT REALLY NEED TO WORK.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, UH, YOU'VE GOT THE CURRENT, YOU'VE GOT 2 78 TOLL ROAD, THEN YOU'VE GOT 2 78 BUSINESS THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT THAT HAS AN END OF JUNE COMPLETION DATE.

SO JUNE 30 AND THEN THEY'LL PROBABLY GO FROM THAT CONTRACT TO THIS CONTRACT.

SO I THINK IT'S GONNA BE SOMETIME LAST QUARTER, RIGHT? WHEN THAT SECTION GETS COMPLETED, NEXT SLIDE, TWO 70 AT TOLL ROAD CONVERSION.

I SPOKE TO DANIEL BURTON YESTERDAY AND HE SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH THE COMPLETION BY END OF NOVEMBER, THIS BE A PAVING SEASON.

UM, THERE IS NO PHASES AFTER THIS IS THEY'RE IN THE FINAL PHASE RIGHT NOW.

AND THEN AGAIN, 2 78 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS.

THE LAST MEETING ON THAT WAS MARCH 3RD.

THAT'S PRIMARILY BEEN CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN TOWN OF HILTON AND THE COUNTY.

SO, OKAY.

BUT AS SOON AS WE HAVE, AS SOON AS THE DEPARTMENT HAS AN UPDATE THAT I CAN SHARE, I'LL BE SURE TO BRING IT TO THE COMMITTEE QUESTIONS.

THANKS.

YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.

WITH DIRT ROAD PAVING CONTRACTS, WHERE WE STAND WITH THEM.

THANK YOU, BRIAN.

YOU'RE UP NEXT

[5B. DIRT ROAD PAVING CONTRACT #52 & #53 UPDATE]

ALL RIGHT.

SO ON THE CONTRACT 52, WHICH CURRENTLY IN CONSTRUCTION HAD FOUR ROADS, UH, RIGHT PLACE WCL AND HARRISON ISLAND HAVE ALL HAD CONSTRUCTION COMPLETED.

UM, WITCLIFF AND RIGHT, HAVE HAD PUNCH LIST WALK DONE.

AND THEY'RE TRYING TO GET, UH, FINISHED PUNCH LIST ITEMS ON THOSE ONES.

HARRISON ISLAND, HOPE TO DO A PUNCHLESS WALK NEXT WEEK, BUT IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD WITH ALL THE RAIN THEY'VE HAD.

THEY'VE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH WASHOUTS, BUT OVERALL LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

DAVID GREEN IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

NOW THEY HAD SOME ISSUES WITH SOME UTILITY RELOCATIONS.

THAT'S KIND OF PUT IT, UH, SLOW DOWN PROCESS, BUT THEY SHOULD BE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THAT IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS TO GET THAT FINISHED.

UM, AND THEN ON CONTRACT 53, FIELDWORKS COMPLETED.

I MET WITH THE DESIGN ENGINEER LAST WEEK AND THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD.

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE ON TRACK WITH GETTING, UH, PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR RAINBOW, WHICH WILL BE THE FIRST ROAD IN A COUPLE MONTHS, AND THEN GOING TO CONSTRUCTION.

UH, NEXT SPRING IS THE PLAN RIGHT NOW.

SO I'M SURE YOU'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO DAVID GREEN.

I HAVE MATTER OF FACT, I WENT DOWN THERE THE OTHER DAY TO COME AT.

HAD THEY ROCKED IT YET WHILE YOU WERE DOWN THERE OR NO, THEY WERE JUST, UH, THEY JUST, THEY WERE, THEY'RE MAKING PREPARATION THE WAY THIS OKAY.

THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE, UM, ROCK ON IT.

AND LIKE I SAID, THEY'RE WAITING ON SOME UTILITIES NOW.

I THINK THEY HAVE A CROSSLINE PIPE TO PUT IN ONCE THEY LOWER THE U UH, THE UTILITIES, BUT IT'S, IT'S COMING ALONG.

IT WAS COMING ALONG TILL THEY HIT THOSE SNAGS.

BUT SO THAT'S WHERE THOSE, UH, TWO STAND.

ABOUT SC ONE 70 AND KIND OF THE TRIANGLE.

I APPRECIATE IT, ERIC.

I BELIEVE YOU'RE GONNA STAND UP FOR JARED.

I'LL STAND THERE FOR JERRY CURRENTLY AT ITS OUT.

WE'RE GONNA TALK

[5C. SC 170 & TRIANGLE UPDATE]

BE ABLE TO HAVE AN ACTUAL DEDICATED LANE UP ON TOP OF THE BRIDGE.

SO THE, THE UPDATE ON THE ONE 70 PROJECT, UM, THE INITIAL, UH, COMMENTS, THE INITIAL PLANS WERE SENT TO S C D O T.

WE GOT INITIAL COMMENTS BACK.

UM, ALL THOSE HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND THEN SENT BACK TO THEM FOR, UH, FOR FINAL COMMENT.

UM, THE BID PACKAGE IS READY TO GO.

UM, SO AS SOON AS WE GET THOSE COMMENTS BACK, WE'LL BE READY TO MOVE ON THIS ONE.

AND AGAIN, JUST TO REFRESH EVERYONE'S MEMORY, THIS IS FROM 2 78 OVER TO 4 62.

SO LOOKING AT ST.

MARY CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PROJECT, ALONG THAT ALONG THE ONE 70 CORRIDOR, UM, ALL RIGHT.

AWAYS BEEN AGREED UPON AND THE NOI HAS BEEN SENT TO D HC.

SO AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING TO BID THAT PROJECT A LITTLE BIT LATER.

THIS FALL AS A PART OF THAT PROJECT, UH, THERE'S BEEN COORDINATION WITH SC B O T ON THE FOUR REMAINING RAMPS, AS WELL AS UP ON 2 78.

THAT SECTION JUST RIGHT ABOVE THE BRIDGE.

THERE'S SOME RE STRIPING, UM, TO ADD CAPACITY AS YOU'RE COMING AROUND THE CLOVER LEAF, TO

[00:15:01]

SO THAT WORK IS GONNA BE ACTUALLY INCORPORATED INTO THE BID PACKAGE FOR THE NEAR TERM ONE 70 PROJECT.

SO AGAIN, THAT, THAT WILL BE A REALLY GOOD IMPROVEMENT FOR REALLY THAT ENTIRE CORRIDOR.

SO LOOKING FOR LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT, UM, AT THE SEP SEPTEMBER 12TH MEETING, UH, COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING, THEY APPROVE THE PHASE TWO NEAR TERM, WHICH INCLUDES, UH, THE DELL WEB SEAGRASS INTERSECTION, AS WELL AS THE OLD FIELD INTERSECTION.

SO AGAIN, ONE OF 'EM WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OTHER PROJECT.

THE OTHER ONE WAS JUST RIGHT TO THE SOUTH OF IT.

SO AGAIN, TO TRY TO ADDRESS THOSE TWO CONGESTED AREAS, THEY ARE BEING WORKED ON, UH, AS WE SPEAK FOR, UH, FOR DESIGN.

SO MOVING FORWARD ON THOSE, UH, AECOM IS WRAPPING UP THEIR CORRIDOR ACCESS AND, UH, ACCESS MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS FOR 2 78.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE NEXT STEP FOR THE TRIANGLE PROJECT.

UH, JUST SO TO REFRESH EVERYONE'S MIND, THE TRIANGLE PROJECT IS 2 78 FROM ONE 70, THE ONE 70 PROJECT FROM 2 78 TO THEN, UM, ON THAT CORRIDOR AND THEN ARGENT BOULEVARD ITSELF.

SO, UH, WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THEN, UH, FOR A SCOPE AND FEE FROM AECOM FOR, UM, THAT PROJECT.

THERE WAS ACTUALLY SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

THERE WAS A BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT WAS DONE AT PFC APPROVED AT PFC.

THIS, UH, JUST THIS LAST WEEK TO, UH, ADDRESS SOME FUNDING GAPS THAT WE HAVE, THE TRIANGLE PROJECT WAS ON, UH, WAS GONNA BE ON THE REFERENDUM FOR THE 2022 SALES TAX.

NOW THAT THAT'S BEEN SHIFTED OFF, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO BE ABLE TO BRIDGE THAT GAP SO THAT IF WE, IF WE ARE ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL OF HAVING THAT TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX ON THE 20, 24 BALLOT, THAT WE'RE NOT LOSING GROUND.

SO AGAIN, WE WE'VE GOTTEN SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO BRIDGE THAT GAP AND HELP FACILITATE THAT PROJECT ALONG.

SO, UM, AT LEAST ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME PRELIMINARY DESIGN WORK.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE UPDATE.

UM, IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL MAKE THINGS A LOT BETTER BETWEEN USCB AND SUN CITY AND THAT WHOLE MASS THAT'S ON TWO 70.

YEAH, YEAH.

TO THE JASPER COUNTY LINE.

ABSOLUTELY.

I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AND, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE JUST THE, THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT'S GROWN IN AND AROUND THAT TRIANGLE AREA.

SO THIS WILL ADDRESS THE NEAR TERM PROJECTS WILL ADDRESS, UM, A LOT OF THE IMMEDIATE CONGESTION THAT WE SEE WITH MORE OF THAT LONG TERM, LONG RANGE PLANNING, UH, GOING INTO THE, THE ULTIMATE TRIANGLE PROJECT, THE ACTUAL LONG TERM FOR ONE 70 GOES, TAKES IT TO SIX LANES WITH CUTS AND ALL SORTS OF STUFF IN IT.

SO IT'S QUITE AN ELABORATE, UM, AMOUNT OF WORK, BUT IT'S WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

IT'S ABOUT $80 MILLION ACTUALLY.

YES.

ANY QUESTIONS SAY NOTHING.

THANK YOU MUCH.

THANK YOU, BRIAN.

[5D. STATUS OF RESURFACING YR. 5, SOPERTON DRIVE, GOETHE ROAD]

YOU'RE BACK UP TALKING ABOUT OUR RESURFACING PROJECT YEAR FIVE STON DRIVE AND GOTHY ROAD.

UM, I'LL START WITH GOTHY.

SO GOTHY WAS A ROAD THAT WAS LISTED ON THE CONTRACT AS A PO POSSIBLE CHANGE ORDER ALTERNATIVE.

UM, WE WENT OUT, GOT SOME QUOTES ON IT, UH, WHICH WERE HIGHER THAN THE ESTIMATED, UH, CHANGE ORDER AMOUNT.

AND ALSO THERE ARE SOME SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AT THE TOWN OF BLUFF AND ONE TO SEE, UM, INCORPORATED.

SO WITH ALL THAT GOING ON, UH, THAT WILL NOT BE ADDED ON TO YEAR FIVE.

THAT WILL HAVE TO BE, UH, A SEPARATE CONTRACT, UH, SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE TO GET THAT DONE WITH THE REST OF IT.

UM, APAC HAS COMPLETED ALL OF THEIR, UH, ASPHALT WORK, ALL THEIR PATCHING AND OVERLAYS, INCLUDING SOFTWARE 10, WHICH WAS THE CHANGE ORDER FOR PATCHING, UM, ON SOFTWARE 10 PRIOR TO MICRO SURFACING THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED AS WELL.

THEY HAVE STARTED WORKING ON FINAL STRIPING ON THE ROADS.

THEY HAVE PAVED, UM, WITH MICRO SURFACING PLAN TO BEGIN NEXT WEEK.

UM, THAT IS ACTUALLY DUE THE EXTRA ORDINARY AMOUNT OF RAIN WE'VE RECEIVED THAT WILL ACTUALLY PUSH THEM PAST THE SEPTEMBER 30TH, UH, DEADLINE.

SO APAC AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING TO GET THEM A CONTRACT EXTENSION, UM, DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF RAIN.

SO ONCE THEY GET THE MICRO SURFING SCENE DONE, THEN THEY'LL GET THE FINAL STRIPING ON THOSE ROADS.

AND BASED ON THE SCHEDULE, THEY HAVE BORROWING RAIN.

IT'S LOOKING LIKE, UH, MID OCTOBER MID I SAW IT WAS BY, UH, SOTON THE OTHER DAY AND IT LOOKED PRETTY GOOD.

THEY DID A GOOD JOB OVER THERE.

AND LIKE I SAID, THAT'S, I THINK THAT, AND ANN SMITH ARE BOTH MICRO SURFACE ROADS.

SO ONCE, UH, SLURRY PAVERS GETS DOWN HERE, THEY SHOULD GET THE, UM, FINAL TREATMENT DONE ALL ALONG.

SO.

PRETTY SEVERE AND UNDERMINING.

QUESTIONS, DO YOU HAVE, UM, ANY, HAVE YOU TAKEN A LOOK AT TUMOR ROLE? I HAVE, UM, MYSELF AND PUBLIC WORKS HAVE GONE OUT THERE AND LOOKED AT IT.

THERE WERE SOME AREAS WHERE THERE WERE SOME WASHOUTS

[00:20:01]

UH, THEY ARE PUTTING FILL IN ON THOSE AREAS.

UM, I KNOW THERE ARE SOME AREAS OF CONCERN WHERE THEY HAD PATCHED AND, UM, THAT WAS PUBLIC WORKS THAT HAD GONE OUT THERE AND PATCHED THAT I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THEM ABOUT POSSIBLY GETTING A ACTUAL, LIKE HOT, HOT MIX ASPHALT PATCH DONE ON IT.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMOOTHER ON THAT AREA.

UM, BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE EDGE.

I'M SORRY, THE EDGE.

UM, THEY'LL FIX THE EDGE WHERE IT'S, UM, STARTED UNDERMINING AND THEN THOSE AREAS WHERE, UH, WHERE THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT THE CURRENT PATCHES THEY'LL UM, GET THAT DONE.

HOPEFULLY.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THAT NOW.

YOU'RE UP NEXT? MY FRIEND.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, BRIAN, THANK YOU, RICHARD.

[5E. STATE SECONDARY < 500 ADT. UPDATE & ADOPTION OF YEAR 1]

GET STARTED.

GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED FROM THE, YEAH, GO AHEAD.

SHE'LL GET THE SLIDES CAUGHT UP MY PHONE.

LET KNOW, UM, YOU ALL HAVE PAPER COPIES OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION AS WELL AS, UM, SOME UPDATES TO THE FIVE YEAR PLAN AND, UM, THAT I PASSED OUT TO YOU EARLIER.

THANKS.

THERE YOU GO.

UM, SO FIRST LET ME SAY THANK YOU AND, AND, AND GOOD AFTERNOON.

AND, AND, AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ON THIS PROJECT.

IT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH CHAIRMAN GORDON AND THE COUNTY STAFF TO, TO WORK THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND THIS AND THIS PROJECT.

AND, UM, UH, WHAT WE HAVE TONIGHT IS REALLY KIND OF CULMINATION IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH BOTH THE COUNTY, UH, AND FEEDBACK FROM E D O T AND A LITTLE HELP FROM CHARLESTON COUNTY AND, AND THEIR PROGRAM.

SO WHAT I'VE GOT TONIGHT ON PRESENTATION IS, UH, IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU, WHAT I PRESENTED TO YOU IN JULY, KIND OF GOING OVER.

AND I'M GONNA GO THROUGH THAT FAIRLY QUICKLY, UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ON HOW WE ARRIVED AT OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN.

UH, AND THEN I'LL TALK ABOUT WHERE WE, WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS TO ARRIVE AT THE, THE, WHAT I THINK WILL BE OF THE, THE FINAL VERSION OF THE FIVE YEAR PLAN TO, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.

SO THE FIRST THING WE STARTED WITH WAS THE, THE FEW DATA THAT THE COUNTY PROVIDED.

UH, WE FOUND A NUMBER OF ERRORS THAT WERE WITHIN THAT AND WITHIN THAT DATA, UH, AND WE WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH S E D O T TO GET SOME UPDATES, PROBABLY MID TO LATE JUNE, THAT WE GOT THOSE UPDATES FROM, FROM D O T.

UM, BUT WHAT WE, ONCE WE, WHEN WE ANALYZED THAT, AND WHAT WE FOUND WAS PRIMARILY THE, THE, THIS PIECE OF THE NETWORK OF THE OVERALL SECONDARY NETWORK IS IN GOOD CONDITION ABOUT 90%, 90 PLUS PERCENT OF THE NETWORK IS IN FAIR TO BETTER CONDITION, WHICH IS GOOD.

UM, MOVING ON TO THE NEXT THING WE DID WAS AMT.

WE BROUGHT OUR GUYS IN AND WE DID A CONDITION SURVEY OF THE SAME NETWORK AND COMPARED THE RESULTS.

AND WHAT WE FOUND WAS WE WERE FAIRLY CONSISTENT.

WE WERE AROUND 90%, AGAIN, OF THE ROADS IN FAIR OR BETTER CONDITION.

ONE MORE, ONE MORE.

WE SIMPLY SIMPLY PUT, WE COUNTED THOSE AND, AND WE ADDED, CREATED A FACTOR FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE TO CREATE AN OVERALL SCORE.

UM, THAT, THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE THERE.

UM, ONE OF THE THINGS TO NOTE KIND OF THE OVERALL CONDITION, AND WE HAVE IT AS A 82.4 ON A SCALE OF ZERO TO 100, COMPARED TO E D O T SCALE OF Z, UH, ZERO TO FIVE FOR PQI.

THE, UH, THE OVERALL NETWORK WAS, IS AROUND 3.14.

WE'RE, WE'RE BEING, WE'RE CONSISTENT ON OUR RESULTS.

FOR THE MOST PART.

THERE ARE SOME, SOME, SOME VARIATIONS IN SOME OF THE ROADS, BUT OVERALL, I THINK WE'RE FAIRLY CONSISTENT, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.

UM, THE NEXT SLIDE, IT JUST SHOWS A MAP.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT IT'S RED, YELLOW, GREEN, RED, RED, BAD GREEN V.

GOOD.

SO IT'S KIND OF GIVE YOU CAN A HEAT MAP THERE, IF YOU WILL.

IT SHOWS THE NETWORKS IN GOOD CONDITION IS PREDOMINANTLY ON THE GREEN SIDE OF THINGS.

THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME RED THAT, UH, THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED.

SO AS PART OF THIS, UH, WE LOOKED AT LAND USE WHAT WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THESE ROADS? HOW DO WE PRIORITIZE THE NETWORK THAT YOU HAVE, AND, AND THE FUNDING THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT FORWARD, IMPROVING THOSE ROADS? UH, SO WE LOOKED AT A NUMBER OF, UH, CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ROAD, INCLUDING NUMBER OF HOMES, CEMETERY, SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, BUSINESSES, AND INDUSTRIES, THE ONES THAT, THAT PROVIDE THAT CREATE A LARGER NUMBER OF TRAFFIC OR LARGER VOLUME OF TRAFFIC GET A HIGHER NUMBER.

AND

[00:25:01]

AGAIN, JUST AS A BACKUP FOR THE NEWER MEMBERS.

THIS IS CONSISTENCY.

THIS GOES BACK TO THE OLD DIRT ROAD COMMITTEE BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE GOT REORGANIZED SEVEN YEARS AGO.

THAT WAS THE, THE FORMAT THAT THEY USED AND HAS BEEN A SIMILAR FORMAT THAT WE'VE USED AND OUR DIRT REVIEWS AS WELL AS NOW, THE STATE'S SECONDARIES.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION OF YOUR LAND USE MA'S UM, WHEN WE DO MODELS AND THINGS, WE, UH, WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT TRACTORS AND, YOU KNOW, GENERATORS OF TRAFFIC AND RETAIL IS ALWAYS A BIG GENERATOR, AND THAT'S NOT ON HERE.

BUSINESSES IS WHERE THEIR FLOWS TRENDING BUSINESSES.

WELL, I GUESS THAT'S COMBINATION INDUSTRIES.

I WAS JUST THINKING THOUGH, CUZ RETAIL REALLY IS THE TRAFFIC GENERATOR THAT CAUSES A LOT OF DIFFICULT.

I'M JUST, WE TOOK RETAIL, RETAIL BUSINESSES WERE WRONG.

WELL, I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE IN BUSINESSES, BUT RIGHT.

I MEAN, THERE ARE SOME BUSINESSES THAT DON'T GENERATE MUCH TRAFFIC AT ALL.

AGREED.

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT INDUSTRIES WHICH ARE BUSINESSES, BUT THEY'RE SEPARATED OUT.

WE'RE DEALING WITH PRIMARY NETWORK LESS THAN 500 ADT.

SO YEAH, BUT STILL EVEN, YOU KNOW, BUSINESSES WOULD GENERATE A LOT MORE THAN 500 ADT.

AND AS I SAY, RETAIL ARE THE, OF THE BUSINESSES ARE THE ONES THAT GENERATE RETAIL AND HOSPITALITY ARE THE ONES THAT GENERATE, BUT ESPECIALLY RETAIL.

I THINK ONE THING TO CONSIDER WITH WHAT YOU SAID, THE CHAIRMAN WAS LESS THAN 500 ADT.

THERE'S, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF LARGE BUSINESSES THAT CREATE A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

NO, IF WE WERE, IT WOULD BE, THE ADT WOULD PROBABLY BE HIGHER.

SO I FEEL LIKE WE CAPTURE THEIR, UH, RETAIL AND OTHER BUSINESS TOGETHER.

PROBABLY IT CAPTURES IT PRETTY, PRETTY ACCURATELY, I BELIEVE.

AND THEN SPEAKING FOR DISTRICT FOUR, WHAT'S REALLY GENERATING A LOT OF TRAFFIC FOR US IS THE, UH, THROUGH COMMUTING TRAFFIC, AGAIN, THIS IS FIVE, 500 AND LESS ADT.

BUT STILL IT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL GET, WE PICKED THOSE UP 500 TO 2000.

AS I SAY, I'VE JUST, YOU KNOW, NEXT THINKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS ON THE ROADS NEXT YEAR.

WELL, SO ONE OTHER FACTOR THAT WAS, IS, IS IN, THERE IS A, A FACTOR THAT, THAT ASSOCIATES ADT ITSELF, JUST THE TRAFFIC NUMBERS.

SO ANY COMMUTER TRAFFIC THAT THAT'S THROUGH THERE WOULD BE COUNTED IN THAT.

SO THERE'S BOTH THE LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND THE ACTUAL TRAFFIC COUNCILS ARE, ARE FACTORED INTO THE OVERALL PRIORITY RANKING SPORT BECAUSE I MEAN, THANKS TO GOOGLE AND WAYS, DIRECTING PEOPLE THROUGH MARCY OAKS DISTRICT FLOOR, WE'VE HAD A BIG CHANGE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WELL THE HOSPITAL I THINK IS THE MAJOR LAND USE THERE THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.

BUT THE TRAFFIC PICKUP IN THE PAST FEW YEARS HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE.

AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, TAKING ITS TOLL ON THE, IT WILL TAKE ITS TOLL ON THE ROAD.

YOU CAN'T SEE IT RIGHT NOW.

WE'LL GET THOSE NEXT YEAR.

I JUST, JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE, WE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, JENNY AND I'M NOT, I MEAN, WE'RE NOT THE ONLY, IT'S JUST THAT WE ARE GETTING HIT.

IT'S IT'S THE 500 TO 2000 YOU HAVE PUT ON.

TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT TREATMENT TYPES, REALLY IT'S SCRUB SEAL AND, AND AN ASPHALT OVERLAY, YOUR NORMAL HOT MIX ASPHALT OVERLAYS ALSO WITH SOME FULL THAT PATCHING OF THE ROAD.

SO TAKING THOSE THINGS INTO EFFECT, BASICALLY THE CONDITION SURVEYS, AS WELL AS THE LAND CHARACTERISTICS AND TRAFFIC ON THE ROADS, WE CREATED A PRIORITY RANKING, UH, SYSTEM OR, OR BASICALLY A FORMULA THAT, THAT A UTILIZED 75% OF THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD WAS, WAS FACTORED INTO AN OVERALL SCORE.

AND THEN 25%, THAT WAS BASED UPON THE AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC AND THE, THE LAND CHARACTERISTICS.

SO WHAT, WHAT YOU SEE ON THE THERE'S ONE COLUMN THERE, THESE, THESE ROADS ON THE LIST THERE, AND IT'S IT'S IN THESE SCORES ARE IN THE, UH, THE DOCUMENTS THAT I PROVIDED TO YOU AS WELL.

UM, UH, THERE, THERE IS A PRIORITY RANKING SCORE FROM, FROM HIGH TO LOW ON THE SHEETS.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARD TO SEE ON THE SCREEN.

UM, BUT THERE IS A RANKING SCORE, UH, ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

LIKE I SAID, 75%, UM, SAVE YOUR 5% ON, ON THE SCORE OF THE, UH, PAYMENT CONDITION, SURVEYING 25% ON THE LAND CHARACTERISTICS.

WE UTILIZE THAT TO DETERMINE WHAT ROADS WOULD BE, UM, WHICH, WHICH ROADS WOULD CHOOSE FOR THE FIVE YEAR PLAN JUST TO RANK THOSE ALONG THE WAY.

THE NEXT SLIDE, UH, IS, IS KIND A CULMINATION OF, OF FEW MEETINGS THAT, THAT WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE WITH BOTH SC D O T NEWFORD COUNTY STAFF.

UM, THE FIELD TRIP THAT I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND WITH WITH, UH, BEFORD STAFF IN, IN CHARLESTON, TO LOOK AT A FEW ROADS TO DETERMINE WHAT, WHAT TREATMENT TYPES WOULD WE WANT TO UTILIZE FOR THIS PROJECT? AND THE ONES HIGHLIGHT IN BLUE ARE THE ONES WE PREDOMINANTLY USED.

UM, IN THE FIVE YEAR PLAN, WE, WE REALLY NARROWED IT DOWN TO, UM, TO

[00:30:01]

SO IT'S KIND OF A COMBINATION OF A NUMBER OF TREATMENTS, BUT PREDOMINANTLY THOSE THAT ARE IN BLUE, UH, IN, IN THE SURFACE TREATMENT WOULD BE EITHER HOT MIX ASPHALT, UH, ON THE ROADS.

THEY CURRENTLY HAVE A, A PLANT MIX OR A HOT MIX ASPHALT SURFACE, AND THEN A SCRUB SEAL WOULD BE ON THE ROADS THAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE A, UM, THAT YOU SEE NOW, A CHIP SEAL, A TREATMENT TYPE.

SO TODAY, UM, THE PAST FEW DAYS IN THE PAST, REALLY TWO WEEKS, WE'VE GONE THROUGH A NUMBER, UH, WORKED WITH THE CHAIRMAN, UH, AND SC D O T.

UH, WE, WE MET WITH THEM LAST WEEK AND, AND GOT SOME COMMENTS BACK FROM, FROM, FROM ELIZABETH AND MARCY, TIM AND MICHAEL BLACK FROM S E D O T AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND HERE AT THE COUNTY OFFICE, UH, TO GOING, THEY WENT THROUGH THE PLAN THAT, THAT YOU ALL BEEN PROVIDED A COPY OF.

UH, THEY GOT A COPY OF THAT AS WELL, AND THEY PROVIDED SOME REVIEW COMMENTS ON THAT TO, TO HELP US HELP GUIDE US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY, UM, WHICH WE CREATED A PLAN THE FIVE YEAR, UM, WHICH HAS A BUDGET ABOUT THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS FOR YEAR ONE, THAT'S UTILIZING TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS OF THE ONE TIME FUNDING.

UM, AND THEN $500,000 OR APPROXIMATE $500,000 FOR YEARS, TWO THROUGH FIVE, ALL IN ALL IT TREATS 41.7, SEVEN AROUND 42 MILES WOULD BE, WOULD BE IMPROVED AS PART OF THIS FIVE YEAR PLAN.

ESSENTIALLY ALL THE ROADS THAT ARE IN FAIR BEFORE CONDITION WOULD BE ELEVATED TO A GOOD OR BETTER CONDITION IN, IN THE FIVE YEARS, UH, WITH THIS, WITH THIS SCENARIO AGAIN.

SO YOU, YOU FOLLOWED WHAT WAS SAID THERE, WE'RE GETTING 5.8 MILLION IN OCTOBER FOR US TO SPEND IN ONE YEAR.

AND SO OF THAT, WE'RE TAKING TWO AND A HALF MILLION PLUS OUR ANNUAL AMOUNT THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND 1 MILLION THAT TAKES US UP TO THREE AND A HALF MILLION.

SO THAT'S WHERE THE DOLLARS ARE COMING FROM TO IN THIS YEAR.

AND SO THERE'LL BE A LOT OF, IT'LL BE A NICE BID PACKAGE TO QUITE THAT ONE TIME FUND HAS TO BE SPENT IN ONE YEAR.

YES.

DO WE HAVE ENOUGH SUB TO DO ALL THAT WORK, BUT WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING ON SCANNING IT ON? WE'LL SEE THE LIST JUST A MINUTE.

SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE IT, THIS DIDN'T, UH, HIT YOU WITH THE PACKAGE THE LAST TIME, BUT WE HAVE BY, UH, ALPHABET ORDER AND WROTE NAME ALL THE ROUTES IN THE CONDITIONS.

SO THE, UH, THE NEXT SLIDE, UM, IS A, IS A PIECE OF, THIS IS, THIS IS ACTUALLY YEAR ONE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN.

YOU'VE GOT A COPY COPY OF THAT WITHIN YOUR PACKET.

UM, THIS IS, THIS IS REVISED AS OF YESTERDAY, BASED ON THE COMMENTS THAT, THAT, THAT WE RECEIVED FROM D O T.

UM, WE, WHAT WE DID WITH THE, THE COMMENTS REALLY WAS ADDING FULL THAT PATCH TO SOME OF THE ROADS, GROUPING A NUMBER OF ROADS TOGETHER THAT WERE IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AND GROUPING THOSE TOGETHER IN THE SAME CONTRACT.

SO WE MADE SURE WE, WE DIDN'T LEAVE A GAP AND, OR WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO TO THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD MULTIPLE YEARS.

UM, WE CHANGED THE MIX TYPE IN THE, IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM WHAT WAS A SURFACE TYPE D TO A SURFACE TYPE C UH, IT REQUIRES A LITTLE BIT LESS LIQUID AND BE A LITTLE BIT LESS EXPENSIVE, LESS LIQUID, LESS EXPENSIVE.

UM, SO SOME TWEAKS THERE THAT, THAT, THAT CREATED THIS PLAN AND WHAT WE HAVE TODAY.

UM, BUT THE FIRST YEAR, LIKE I SAID, IT'S THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

AND JUST UNDER 30 MILES, UH, OF IMPROVEMENT, IT INCLUDES, UH, SCRUB SEAL ON A NUMBER OF THE ROADS THAT ALREADY HAVE CHIP SEAL TODAY.

AND THEN, AND THEN PREDOMINANTLY IT'S ASPHALT OVERLAYS.

WE PULL THAT PATCH IN SOME, IN AREAS WHERE IT WAS NECESSARY.

IT IS OUR INTENT TODAY.

IF YOU LOOK AT OUR CTC SCHEDULING, UM, IT'S OUR INTENT TO, UM, APPROVE THIS AND MOVE THIS ON, TO GET IT OUT FOR A BID PACKAGE.

I, WE APOLOGIZE.

AND I, I SAY TO YOU, ERNEST, IT WASN'T ON RICHARD'S BEHALF OR AMTS BEHALF, OR OUR BEHALF, THE WHOLE SCHEDULE GOT CHANGED.

UH, D O T CHANGED IT ON US, UH, AFTER THEY GOT OUR, OUR LIST.

AND IT WAS SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THEY, WE HEARD FROM 'EM.

SO IT CHANGED BASICALLY OUR YEAR ONE, A GREAT DEAL, AND MOVED A LOT OF THE PROJECTS THAT WERE GONNA BE ON YEAR TWO, UH, ALSO UP FORWARD.

SO WE'RE TOUCHING A LOT ROAD, MORE ROADS, AND YOU'LL SEE PRIMARILY, WE'RE GET TAKING CARE OF THE POOR ROADS FIRST.

AND THEN AS YOU GO THROUGH WE'RE, WE'RE DOING IN YEARS OUT, WE'RE DOING REHAB.

AND, UH, PRIMARILY AS, UH, A WAYS OF, OF FIXING THE ROADS IN THE FUTURE.

SO THIS IS OUR, OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN.

AND I WOULD OPEN THE, THE FLOOR UP.

WE ALSO GOT FOR YOU

[00:35:01]

SO IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY COMING TO YOU AND TALKING TO YOU ABOUT A STATE, SECONDARY, YOU HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION IN YOUR HANDS THAT YOU CAN ADDRESS WHAT THE CURRENT CONDITION OF IT IS AND BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IT ACCORDINGLY.

ARE THERE QUESTIONS OF RICHARD? I SEE HERE, YOU HAVE, UM, OAK'S PLANTATION ROAD FOR 2023.

IS THAT A TRUE STATEMENT? YES.

OH, AND, UH, BY THE WAY, DO YOU, TOM FRICK, UH, JOHN STRIP HAVE TO KEEP SCREW UP ON THOSE NAMES FROM 21.

IT'S IN JOHN, TOM FRICK, TOM FRE ROAD.

I THINK YOU GUYS JUST FINISHED THAT OVERLAY.

I KNOW IT WAS ONE OF THOSE, I'M NOT HEARING QUESTIONS.

SO OF RICHARD, I WOULD OPEN FOR A MOTION TO, UM, MOVE FORWARD OUR YEAR ONE, UM, 500 A DT OR LESS, UH, INTO THE BIDDING PROCESS.

IS IT JENNY? IS THAT MOTION? YEAH.

DO I HAVE A SECOND, UH, SECOND DISCUSSION.

THOSE OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

MR. CHAIRMAN, DID, DID I HEAR THAT THE FIRST YEAR THAT THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FROM THE DEPARTMENT AS IT RELATES TO THAT, TO THIS LIST? CORRECT.

THEY WERE, THERE WERE PROJECTS, SOME ROUTES THAT THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WERE HEADED IN THEIR, UH, TWO YEAR PLAN, THAT THEY WILL BE FUNDING.

AND THAT CHANGED, UM, OUR, OUR LISTINGS.

HOW MUCH DID IT CHANGE OUR LISTING? WHAT, $300,000.

WELL, IT ABOUT 300,000.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT SWUNG, IT HAD A DO QUITE OF A DOMINO EFFECT THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE FIVE YEAR PLAN.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE, UM, IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST COLUMN ON, ON THE PAGE WHERE SOUTH MEDICAL ORDER, I'VE GOT, WHAT I DID WAS I'VE UTILIZED THE, UH, THE INFORMATION THEY PROVIDED.

AND I PLACED THAT IN THAT COLUMN TO SHOW IF IT WAS AN FY 22, UH, 23, 24, IF IT'S ON THE SE D OTS PLAN, IT WAS, IT WAS MARKED AS THAT.

AND THEN TAKING OFF, TAKEN OFF OF THE YEAR, ONE PLAN, UH, AND THEN WE ADDED ADDITIONAL ROW THAT WERE WHERE WE COULD GROUP THOSE TOGETHER IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOODS.

WOULD IT HAVE BEEN ANY HELP IF WE GOT DOT'S LIST SAY BEFOREHAND AND WORKED FROM THAT LIST? ABSOLUTELY.

WOULD YOU KNOW, AND THE, ON TOP OF IT, THERE ARE, WERE STREETS THAT WERE GIVEN BACK TO THE MUNICIPALITIES THAT, UM, AS AN EXAMPLE, PORT ROYAL HAD SIX OR EIGHT STREETS THAT'S RIGHT.

LOAN THAT, UH, CAME OFF THE D D O T ROSTER.

SO IT WOULD'VE BEEN BEEN, UH, I THINK THAT, UH, TO SOME DEGREE THAT I'M GONNA, UH, STEP OUT AND MAKE THE COMMENT, THE REAL, THE REAL ISSUE WITH THIS WAS OUR RESIDENT MAINTENANCE ENGINEER WAS OFF RAISING A BABY FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, TWO AND A HALF MONTHS IN WEEKS.

AND SHE'S BEEN, WAS LATE AND GETTING BACK AND GETTING, BEING ABLE TO HAVE TIME TO ADDRESS IT.

SO THAT REALLY IS ONE OF THE FACTORS WHICH PLAYED SIGNIFICANTLY IN IT.

WELL, I, I WOULD HOPE THE DEPARTMENT HAD THIS LIST LONG BEFORE THE TWO AND A HALF MONTHS.

UM, SO WOULD IT BE FAIR TO SAY THAT THIS LIST OF PROJECTS IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH THOUGHTS FEELING AS, AS OF TODAY? YES.

I SPOKE TO, TO, UM, MICHAEL BLACK LAST NIGHT.

SO THEY'RE NOT GONNA MAKE ANY MORE CHANGES, CORRECT.

TO YEAR ONE TO YEAR ONE.

THAT'S ALL, THAT'S ALL WE'RE VOTING ON IS YEAR ONE.

I KNOW.

I JUST WANTED TO, OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOORS A SECOND, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY, AYE.

AYE.

THE ONLY THING THAT, UH, CHAIRMAN BEFORE YOU PROCEED, JUST WANNA LET YOU KNOW,

[00:40:01]

GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.

THAT'S THE JULY 26TH LETTER THAT CAME FROM ROXIE AND CHTA, WE DON'T HAVE TO EXPEND ALL THAT MONEY IN ONE YEAR, ONLY 25% OF THE COMBINED APPROPRIATED AMOUNT.

ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE CONTRACTING SITUATION.

SO THAT TAKES A LITTLE, THAT THAT MUST HAVE CAME TODAY.

I HAVEN'T GOT THAT.

THE ONLY THING THAT, UM, THAT MICHAEL BROUGHT UP DURING THE CONVERSATION AND I'M TURNING TO OUR STAFF, THEY WANT US TO APPLY FOR THE PERMITS AND NOT THE CONTRACTOR, AND THEY WANNA BREAK THE CONTRACTOR.

THAT'S DOING THE EXAMINATION OR OVERSIGHT OF IT, NOT BEING PART AND PARTY TO THE, UM, PAVING CONTRACTOR.

IT'LL BE A SEPARATE CONTRACT.

AND I THINK WE'RE SET UP TO DO IT IN THAT FASHION.

ANYWAY.

SOUNDS LIKE FEDERAL HIGHWAYS STEPPED IN THERE.

ITEM, BRIAN, YOU'RE UP TALKING ABOUT, WE TALKED LAST MONTH ABOUT A CHANGE ORDER FOR INCREASE IN PRICING FOR APAC.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[5F. APAC CHANGE ORDER]

AND SO, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, APEX FINISHED THEIR, UH, HMA WORK.

SO THEY HAVE GIVEN US WHAT THE ADJUSTMENT WOULD BE BASED ON THE ORIGINAL BID PRICE OF $520 A TON PROVIDER, WHICH IS NOW, AS YOU CAN SEE, HAS GONE UP TO FIRST SEVEN, 15 ALL THE WAY UP TO 7 99, IT'S ALMOST $800.

UM, THEY BROKE DOWN BY MONTH WITH THEIR PRODUCTIONS.

SO THE TOTAL CHANGE ORDERS MEAN 1 15, 6 41 49.

UM, AND AS DISCUSSED LAST TIME, THIS TIME THAT CHARLESTON COUNTY INCLUDES ON ALL THEIR, UH, CONTRACTS D O T INCLUDES IN THEIRS.

SO IT'S FAIRLY STANDARD QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

WHY DIDN'T COUNTY HAVE THE INDEX? I CAN'T ANSWER THAT.

AND WHY I'M GONNA PUT IT IN IT'S FAIR TO EVERYBODY.

IT'S SOMETHING IT'S HISTORICALLY HASN'T BEEN DONE.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ARE CONSIDERING MOVING FORWARD TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO CONTRACTS.

I GUESS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE A DISCUSSION WHEN WE DO GO TO DO THE RFP BETWEEN STAFF AND C TO SEE HOW WE WANTED TO WRITE THAT NEXT CONTRACT.

SO WELL, IT'S FAIR.

BOTH WAYS, BOTH PARTIES.

THAT WAY.

CAUSE BETWEEN AUGUST BUSINESS THREE MONTHS AGO, IT, IT PRICE WE'D BE GETTING MONEY BACK.

THE COUNTY WOULD, I MEAN, AUGUST WOULD JUST, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER DROPPED $40.

SO THERE WOULD BE SAVINGS FOR ACCOUNT THERE, BUT WHAT YEAH.

CORRECT.

BRIAN, THANK YOU.

SECOND, SECOND, FURTHER DISCUSSION HEARING.

I DID GO DOWN TO THE FRUIT POINT.

OKAY, GOOD.

AND THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

THANK GOOD.

AND I THINK THEY SHOULD BE PROBABLY ONE OF THE ROADS THEY WERE PROBABLY WORKING ON STRIPE IN, UM, AGAIN, THE FINAL STRIPING ON PROBABLY, UH, THIS WEEK I WOULD IMAGINE.

SO.

AND YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB ON THAT.

WELL, BLAKE, YOU, THAT DID A GOOD JOB.

IT'S A DECISION WE DISCUSSED AT THE LAST MEETING, WHETHER WE WANT TO FAVOR IT OR NOT, WHAT'S IT DUE TO THE FUNDING, WE HAVE THE FUNDING AND THE FUNDING ALSO, UM, IT GETS SPLIT UP TWO WAYS BECAUSE IT, UH, SOME OF THAT IS STATE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.

SO IT WILL GET ADDED TO THE PERCENTAGE THAT WE HAVE TO ADD INTO OR COMMIT FOR LAST YEAR, WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT UNDER THE TREASURER'S REPORT.

BUT, UM, IT'S, IT WILL GET CREDIT FOR IT.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? WELL, WHAT IS THE COUNTY DOING TO OTHER CONTRACTS THAT HAVE ASPHALT LOAN? UH, THERE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WE HAVE HAD IT COME UP FOR CON UH, CONVERSATION SO FAR.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAD ANYTHING ELSE THAT WAS REALLY HAD A LOT OF, UH, ASPHALT HEAVY WORK ON AT THE TIME.

SO ARE THEY GONNA APPROVE 'EM WHEN THEY GET 'EM OTHER ONES UP THAT I CAN'T SAY I IT'D PROBABLY BE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, I WOULD IMAGINE, BUT LIKE I SAID, WE HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING.

THAT'S BEEN REAL ASPHALT HEAVY, UM, FOR THE TIME BEING.

SO WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON'T APPROVE, THEY DON'T GET THE EXTRA MONEY, $115,000.

IT'S A LEGITIMATE COST.

I MEAN, EVERYBODY KNOWS THE PRICE, ALL CRAZY STUFF.

ARE YOU MAKING A MOTION FOR IT? I AM.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I HAVE A SECOND.

NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.

ALTHOUGH IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.

DO WE HAVE DAN CHISHOLM ON THE LINE? HE SAID EARLIER THAT HE WAS ON LONG BY, SO I, I AM HERE.

CHAIRMAN GORDON, HOW YOU DOING DAN? I'M

[00:45:01]

DOING WELL, HOPE YOU ARE.

GOING TO LEAD INTO THIS AS SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

I'M

[7A. DIRT ROAD STUDY UPDATE]

UM, WHEN THE TRANSITION AGAIN FROM SEVEN YEARS AGO, WENT FROM BASICALLY THE COMMITTEE BEING A DIRT ROAD COMMITTEE TO ACTUALLY TAKING ON THE RESURFACING AND TAKING CARE OF OUR COUNTY ROADS.

DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME, WE STILL FUNDED SEVERAL, A NUMBER OF PROJECTS.

AND DURING A CONVERSATION WITH, UH, ROB MCFE AND MYSELF, I QUESTIONED HIM WHY HE DIDN'T DO A DIRT ROAD PAVING PROGRAM OR RESURFACING PROGRAM.

AND HE WAS USING THE TAG FUNDS AT THAT POINT IN TIME, WHICH HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY CARRIED ON TO WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY.

THE TAG FUNDS ARE BEING EXPENDED FOR.

AND SO, UH, THEY HAVE FINISHED THE FIRST, THEY, THE END CONTRACTS, 52 AND 53 ARE FINISHING UP THE DIRT PAVING PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN KNOWN.

SO I'M TRYING TO, I'VE TRIED TO KEEP YOU ALL ABREAST ON WHAT ALL WE DO, NOT ONLY D O T DOES WHAT WE'RE DOING.

AND THIS IS A PRO PROJECTS THAT YOUR COUNTY ARE DOING.

DAN WAS HIRED, HIS FIRM, CONOR WAS HIRED AND YOU'LL KNOW DAN WAS WITH F AND M E AND DID OUR FIRST, OUR, OUR FIRST FIVE YEAR PLANNING.

HE WAS THE LEAD ENGINEER IN IT.

AND HIS COMPANY IS NOW DOING THE DIRT ROAD UPDATE.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

SO DAN, WITH THAT THAT'S TO YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT CHAIRMAN GORDON, UH, WE ARE INDEED WRAPPING UP THE, UH, FIVE YEAR DIRT ROAD PAVING PLAN, UH, AS CHAIRMAN GORDON SAID A FEW MINUTES AGO, UH, THE VERY FIRST DIRT ROAD PAVING PLAN WAS DONE IN 2017.

AND, UH, YOU GUYS ARE FINISHING UP THE, UH, THE LAST OF, OF THAT FIVE YEAR PLAN.

SO IT'S TIME TO, WE INITIALIZE THAT FIVE YEAR PLAN AND GO FORWARD.

UH, WE WERE GIVEN A CONTRACT IN, UH, IN, UH, MAY OF MAY, OF THIS YEAR.

SO, UH, WE HAD OUR KICKOFF MEETING, UH, I THINK IT WAS MAY THE 12TH, THE COUNTY STAFF, BASICALLY THE PROCESS FOR EVALUATING THE DIRT ROADS AND ESTABLISHING THE FIVE YEAR PLAN IS CARRIED FORWARD FROM THE INITIAL, UH, WORK IN 2017 WITH JUST A FEW MODIFICATIONS TO IT.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE DONE, UH, WITH THIS PLAN, WE HAVE, HAVE ACTUALLY WALKED, UH, EACH AND EVERY MILE OF DIRT ROAD IN BUFORD COUNTY TO ASSESS THE CONDITION OF THOSE DIRT ROADS.

UH, AND, UH, ANOTHER LIGHT CHANGE THAT WAS MADE, UH, WAS TO THE SCORING FOR THE RIGHT AWAY COMPONENT.

UH, IF YOU WILL, THE, THE FORMULA IS REALLY, REALLY SIMILAR TO THE FORMULA THAT RICHARD PRESENTED EARLIER, UH, IN THE C D T SECONDARY PLAN.

UH, WE BASICALLY HAVE TWO, UH, SCORES THAT MAKE UP THE FINAL SCORE AND WE CALL IT JUST AN A AND A B SCORE.

B SCORE IS REALLY SIMPLE.

IT IS A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF THE DIRT ROADS.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PAY A MILE OF DIRT ROAD VERSUS HOW MUCH IS BEAU COUNTY PAYING TO MAINTAIN THE DIRT ROADS EACH YEAR? AND SO, UH, COUNTY STAFF WAS COUNT ENOUGH TO PROVIDE THE MAINTENANCE COST FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, 20 19, 20, 20, AND 2021 TO US.

UH, WE HAVE USED THAT TO COME UP WITH AN AVERAGE MAINTENANCE, UH, COST TO THE DIRT ROADS, AND THEN, UH, COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS USING THAT, UH, WITH THE COST TO PAY THE DIRT ROADS.

AND AGAIN, COUNTY STAFF COUNT ENOUGH TO PROVIDE US THE, UH, PAVING NUMBERS FOR THE LAST, UH, THREE YEARS AS WELL.

UH, SO WE'VE GOT A GOOD AVERAGE COST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE ROADS.

UH, WE BASICALLY TOOK THAT CONSTRUCTION COST.

WE INFLATED IT BASED ON INFLATION THIS YEAR AND CARRIED THAT INFLATION FORWARD FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS AS WELL.

SO WE COULD DO THE TRUE COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS, UH, WAITED WITH INFLATION AS WELL.

UH, THE, A SCORE IS COMBINED OF, UH, RIGHT AWAY, IT'S COMBINED WITH ROAD CONDITION AND ALSO WITH THE ADT.

UH, AND THOSE ARE, ARE COMBINED, UH, TO, TO MAKE UP THE, A SCORE.

AND THEN A AND B ADDED TOGETHER, COME UP WITH THE OVERALL RESULT.

AND THEN, UH, THE ROADS ARE RANKED.

UH, WE HAVE DONE THAT RANKING.

UH, WE HAVE COME UP WITH A, UH, PROPOSED FIVE YEAR PLAN THAT IS IN STAFF'S HANDS RIGHT NOW BEING REVIEWED.

AND, UH, ONCE THAT IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED, UH, THE PLAN WILL BE PRESENTED TO PFC AND WE'RE PLANNING ON A PRESENTATION, UH, IN OCTOBER FOR THAT.

AND, UH, THEN ONCE THAT PLAN IS PRESENTED TO PFC AND APPROVED, THE PLAN WILL

[00:50:01]

BE MADE PUBLIC AND WE'LL GO FORWARD WITH THE, UH, THE PAVING CONTRACTS FOR NEXT FIVE YEARS, TWO THINGS, DAN, NUMBER ONE, WE WOULD APPRECIATE AFTER PFC IS APPROVED IT THAT WE WOULD GET COPIES OF IT FOR ALL THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

AND NUMBER TWO, HOW MANY MILES IS LEFT OR REBOUND TO ABOUT 75 MILES OF DIRT ROADS, SOMETHING TO THAT NUMBER? IT IT'S ROUGHLY 75.

CRAIG.

UH, IF YOU LOOK, I'M SORRY, CHAIRMAN GORDON, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PLAN, UH, WE HAVE SEPARATED OUT THE ROADS OF DUFUS.

UH, DUFUS MAKES UP ABOUT SEVEN AND A HALF MILES IN, IN THE CURRENT PLAN RIGHT NOW IS TO, UH, STONE OR ROCK THE DUSKY ROAD, REALLY NOT DOING PAVING, TRYING TO KEEP THAT AS A NATURAL SETTING, IF WE CAN.

UH, WE HAD TO SUBTRACT OUT THE ROADS AND OF COURSE THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, IN THE CURRENT, UH, PAVING PLAN.

AND, UH, WE ALSO HAVE, UH, A NUMBER OF ROADS, UH, DUE TO RIGHT AWAY NEGOTIATIONS, UH, DUE TO OTHER THINGS THAT, UH, THE RESIDENTS OF THE ROADS THEY'VE REQUESTED THAT THEY NOT BE PAID.

UH, SO IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT EVERYTHING TOGETHER, UH, CHAIRMAN GORDON, THE, UH, THE AMOUNT OF ROADS IS IN THE PLAN TO PAVED EIGHT, 8.53.

UH, QUESTIONS OF DAN, I SEE A LIST OF THAT IS THAT A LIST OF VEHICLE ARE THOSE DIRT ROADS? ONCE IT GOES BEFORE PFC PUBLIC FACILITIES COMMITTEE.

WE'LL HAVE COPIES OF IT THEN GOING FORWARD.

COULD WE MAKE CHANGE AFTER WORK? NO, IT'S NOT.

AND, AND I'LL BE GLAD TO, UH, COME BEFORE THE COMEDIAN MAKE A PRESENTATION, IF YOU SO DESIRED.

ATTORNEY GORDON.

I GUESS, JENNY, UM, I JUST HAD A QUESTION.

IT LIKE ALL OF THE RESIDENTS IN FAVOR, THE PAVING THAT'S BEING DONE, OR I THINK THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

WHY WENT FROM 75 DOWN TO 58? YES.

AND THAT WAS TAKEN INTO THE SCORE WHENEVER THEY WOULD DO IT RIGHT AWAY, THE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO GIVE THE RIGHT OF WAY.

YES.

SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T, SO THAT'S BETWEEN DEVOSKEY AND THE COMBINATION OF PEOPLE NOT WANTING TO GIVE UP RIGHT AWAY.

IT'S, IT'S STILL THE LEGACY ROADS ARE STILL ISSUES.

CAUSE I WAS JUST WONDERING, CAUSE IT COMES UP PERIODICALLY AND THEN YEAH, YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE AND THEN ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, DAN, RIGHT.

BA BA JUST FOLLOW UP ON THAT.

CHAIRMAN GORDON BASICALLY, UH, WE'VE GOT ABOUT SEVEN AND A HALF MILES OF ROAD ON THE FUKE YOU'VE GOT, UH, ABOUT FOUR MILES THAT ARE IN THE CURRENT PAVING PROGRAM, UH, THAT COMES OFF OF THAT.

AND THEN THE, UH, ROADS THAT THE RESIDENTS DO NOT WANT PAVED ARE ABOUT EIGHT AND THREE QUARTER MILES.

HOW MANY ROADS? HOW MANY MILES ON ITY? I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN? I SAID, HOW MANY MILES OF DIRT ROAD ON ST.

HELEN YOU IN DISTRICT ONE HAVE GOT THE MOST DOLLAR SPENT ON DIRT ROADS? I MEAN, I JUST ASKED THE QUESTION.

WE'VE SPENT, UM, 35 MILLION IN ST.

HELEN AND 40 MILLION IN DISTRICT ONE FOR GRANT TOTAL 75 MILLION OUT OF A HUNDRED MILLION.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING PRETTY GOOD, BUT DISTRICTS ONE, TWO, AND THREE HAVE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE ROADS, I THINK BETWEEN THOSE THREE DISTRICTS, IT'S 75% OF THE ROADS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT QUANTITY, BUT IT'S A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DAN.

ANYTIME.

BRIAN, YOU'RE GONNA BE BACK UP TALKING ABOUT OUR ROADS, UH, ADOPTION COMMITTEE ADOPTION OF YEAR SIX PAVING PROGRAM.

[7B. ROAD RESURFACING YEARS 6 ADOPTION]

FOR ABOUT A 1.6 MILLION.

WE'RE DOING MICRO RESURFACING,

SO BACK IN FEBRUARY OF THE RETREAT, UM, THE 20, 22 PAVEMENT EVALUATION PLAN AND, UH, UPDATED FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR YEAR SIX THROUGH 10 WAS PRESENTED, UM, THAT WAS PREPARED BY F M E AND CEPI.

AND THIS IS YEAR SIX OF THAT PLAN, UH, HAS MILL OVERLAY MICRO SURFACE THIN LIFT.

UH, THERE IS ONE CONCRETE ROAD ELMOR FINE, WHICH WILL PROBABLY END UP BEING REMOVED, BUT THERE'S A SCRUB SEAL TEST ROAD AND REJUVENATOR ON THERE FOR, AS HE SAID, A TOTAL ONE POINT, UH, 1 MILLION, SIX 84,000 ANDREW $45.

UM, AND THAT'S FROM SIMILAR TO, BASED ON THE PQI AND THE RATING, UM, THAT WAS COMP DONE IN THAT ANALYSIS.

SO WHEN YOU SEE, LOOK AT OUR LISTING FOR YEAR SIX, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE MAJORITY OF IT, WE'RE NOT DOING THE HEAVY LIFTING ANYMORE.

[00:55:02]

WE'RE DOING REJUVENATOR, WE'RE DOING SOME PAVING, BUT THAT SPEAKS AGAIN, VOLUMES FOR HOW WELL THIS COMMITTEE'S DONE IN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF KNOCKING DOWN AND IMPROVING OUR ROAD NETWORK.

THAT BROUGHT UP QUESTION WHEN I WAS READING THIS VERSION OF THE REPORT OVER THE WEEKEND, I WAS THINK, YOU KNOW, A REALLY GOOD, THERE'S QUITE GOOD NEWS IN THERE.

AND WHY IS THE PUBLIC NOT BEING TOLD? ACTUALLY IT WAS A PRESS RELEASE.

THERE WAS, UM, WE, UH, CHRIS DID A PRESS RELEASE AND PUT IT OUT, UH, ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO.

OH, AND WHAT I, ONE NEWSPAPER PICKED UP ON.

THEY DON'T WANNA PICK UP THE GOOD NEWS HERE WE ARE.

IT, IT, IT IMPROVES THEIR, OUR NETWORK IMPROVES SO DRAMATICALLY AND IT'S AGAIN, THE HEAVY LIFTING THIS COMMITTEE'S DONE.

AND LO AND BEHOLD, THEY HAVEN'T, UH, THE NEWSPAPER DIDN'T PICK UP ON IT ONE BIT.

AND TO THAT, I MEAN, EACH YEAR WE'VE SEEN, UH, TREATING MORE ROADS EACH YEAR FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY, JUST BECAUSE OF THE, UH, INCREASE IN OVERALL PEAKY IN THIS CHURCH SHOWING, YOU KNOW, THE PERCENTAGE THAT'S GOOD.

AND SO, AND I MEAN, I WAS JUST THINKING, MY GOD, THAT WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD STORY.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

AND IT WAS, IT WAS HOW IT HAPPENED AND, AND I COULDN'T, AND I DO READ, YOU KNOW, ALL THE LOCAL THINGS I CAN PICK UP AND I DIDN'T SEE IT.

SIERRA, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO, TO MAKE A NOTE, GO BACK IN THE PRESS RELEASE AND HAVE THAT PRESS RELEASE AGAIN, SENT UP TO THE COMMITTEE.

I THOUGHT I, I HAD THAT ASKED TO HAVE THAT DONE, BUT PLEASE SEND IT OUT TO THE COMMITTEE.

ANYWAYS, AT LEAST YOU, YOU CAN SEE IT WAS A REAL NICE ARTICLE THAT'S DONE ON IT.

I MEAN, I BELIEVE THAT I JUST, AS I SAID, AS I WAS READING THAT, I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE KIND OF THING AND THESE KIND OF CHARTS AND STUFF, CUZ PEOPLE CAN SEE THE CHARTS.

YEP.

THAT WOULD BE WITH THAT.

UM, WE HAVE 1.6 MILLION AND AGAIN, WE'RE AT A POINT IN TIME WHERE WE NEED TO RELEASE THIS.

SO THAT GOES IN THE PAVING CYCLE WAS IN THE BIDDING CYCLE.

SO THAT BY THE FIRST YEAR THE PROJECTS GET AWARDED AND THEY DO 'EM IN THE SPRING.

SO I'M ASKING FOR SOMEBODY TO MAKE A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE, UH, ADOPT OUR YEAR SIX RESURFACING PROGRAM.

I'LL I HAVE A SECOND, SECOND MOVED IN SECOND FOR THE DISCUSSION HEARING NONE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE.

ERIC TO COME UP AND TALK ABOUT OUR TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

I ASK

[7C. 2022/2023 TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE]

THIS IS BASICALLY A REMINDER TO YOU ALL AND I'LL SET THE STAGE FOR HIM IN THIS REGARD.

UM, YOU'LL HAVE THIS, THE, OUR UPDATE AND THE UPDATE WILL CONSTITUTE ONLY A COUPLE AREAS, PAVING, UPDATES, THINGS WE'RE GONNA BE DOING IN THE FUTURE WHERE WE ONLY HAD YEARS ONE THROUGH FIVE AND IN, IN THE PAST.

BUT THE IDEA IS TO HAVE IT IN OUR HANDS BY ONE NOVEMBER, WE'LL MEET AT OUR MEETING IN NOVEMBER.

IF YOU HAVE COMMENTS, HAVE THE COMMENTS INTO ME BEFORE THE 10TH.

I DON'T THINK YOU'LL HAVE ANY, BUT AT THE SAME TOKEN, PLEASE MAKE NOTE TO HAVE IT TO ME BY THE 10TH, BECAUSE WE WANT TO GIVE AND CHANGE SO THAT WE HAVE IT AT OUR MEETING.

WITH ANY RECOMMENDATIONS, WITH FRESH SET, FRESH SETS OF EYES.

AND WE'LL GET A REMINDER OF THAT.

IT'LL IT'LL COME OUT WITH THE DOCUMENT.

YOU'RE YOU'RE GIVING A, YOU'RE GIVING US A LOT OF CREDIT TO SAY THAT THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY CHANGES AFTER IT GETS SENT OUT.

SO WE'LL, UH, WE'LL, WE'LL ROLL WITH THAT.

BUT UH, NO, UH, CHAIR, MCG GOBIN A ASKED US TO ASK MYSELF AND BRIAN BAUER BECAUSE WE'RE NEW TO THE COUNTY TO TAKE A FRESH LOOK AT THIS AGAIN, FROM COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE, UM, COMING IN JUST TO TAKE A FRESH LOOK, SEE IF THERE'S ANY RECOMMENDED CHANGES, THAT SORT OF THING.

JUST A, A FRESH SET OF EYES.

SO WE'RE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT.

UM, WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT ALSO LOOKING AT, UH, WHAT CHARLESTON COUNTY HAS AS FAR AS, AS THEIR PLAN AS WELL.

SO, UM, JUST TRYING TO INCORPORATE, UM, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT WE SEE.

SO THREE PARTS OF THAT THAT WILL BE PRIORITIZED.

UH, ACTION ITEMS IN THE PLAN ITSELF IS THE SIX TO 10 YEAR RESURFACING PLAN.

IT'S GOING TO BE AS, UM, AS RICHARD HAD PRESENTED EARLIER, THE LOW VOLUME STATE, SECONDARY ADTS, THAT THAT WILL BE INCLUDED.

THOSE ROADS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN AS WELL AS THE 500 TO 2000 ADT ROADS, UH, WHICH I BELIEVE EACH COMMITTEE MEMBER IS GOING TO COME UP WITH A LIST FOR THEIR, THEIR DISTRICT, COME BACK WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THOSE ROADS IN THAT PLAN.

SO AGAIN, WE'LL, WE'RE NOT SET, WE'RE NOT HERE TO, UH, REINVENT THE WHEEL OR REWRITE ANYTHING, BUT JUST COME IN WITH, UH,

[01:00:01]

SO, UH, WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS A REFRESHER FOR NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

IT IS THE REQUIREMENT, THE CTC SUBMIT ANNUALLY TO D O T UH, A TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

AND WE'VE BEEN DOING IT EVERY YEAR SINCE I'VE BEEN CHAIRMAN.

GOT IT THERE IN TIME.

AND FOR THE RECORD, THE D O T PUTS IT ON THEIR WEBSITE AS WELL AS THEY, UH, PROVIDE IT TO THE STATE LEGISLATORS.

SO IT IS A TWO-PRONGED ATTACK.

IT, IT DOES GET SEEN BEYOND US.

ARE WE THE ONLY ONES THAT ACTUALLY DO IT WERE ONE OF THE FEW, YEAH.

THAT'S WERE WHAT OF THE FEW WERE CO AND LANCE, WE WERE OFTEN THE ONLY ONES THAT SUBMITTED REQUIRED.

SO THERE WERE A LOT OF COUNTIES, UH, COUNTIES THAT BORDER US THAT DON'T HAVE NEVER CHANGED THEIRS.

THEY'RE THEY'RE VERY OLD, SO, BUT OURS ARE UP TO DATE.

I WAS INFORMATION ONLY.

THANK YOU, ERIC.

TREASURE'S REPORT QUESTION OVER HERE.

THAT'S OKAY.

I I'M GOOD TREASURE'S REPORT.

[8. TREASURER’S REPORT ]

UM, AT A FAIRLY HIGH LEVEL FOR, UH, THE C FUND PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 22, WHICH, WHICH ENDED AT THE END OF JUNE, UM, WE WENT INTO THE YEAR WITH A BALANCE FUND BALANCE OF ALMOST 3 MILLION, 2.9, 8 MILLION.

WE HAD C FUND REVENUE DURING THE YEAR OF, UH, ALMOST 3.6 MILLION.

AND WE HAVE ENDED THE YEAR WITH A CURRENT BALANCE OF, UH, ALMOST 4.6 MILLION 4.59 MILLION.

UM, DURING THE YEAR WE APPROPRIATED OR APPROVED PROJECTS, TOTALLY ALMOST 4.6 MILLION AND HAVE ACTUALLY EXPENDED DURING THE YEAR 1.8, 6 MILLION QUESTIONS SIERRA AND BRITTANY ARE WORKING ON, UM, END OF THE YEAR NUMBER IS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT FINAL LEVEL OF DETAIL.

BUT RIGHT NOW THIS IS KIND OF THE HIGH LEVEL OF HOW WE CAME INTO THE YEAR, WHAT REVENUE WE RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR AND WHAT, WHAT WE EXPENDED DURING THE, WE EXPENDED DURING THE YEAR WHERE OUR CURRENT BALANCE LIES.

AND AGAIN, FOR THE NEW MEMBERS ON THE COMMITTEE IS A REQUIREMENT THAT I SUBMIT, UH, UNDER SIGNATURE TO D O T BREAKING OUT THE FUNDS THAT WE'VE SPENT ON STATE ROUTES THAT IT WOULD INCLUDE RICHARD'S REP UH, THE FUNDS WE DID THROUGH HIS ENGINEERING FIRM, UM, IT WOULD, AND TO SHOW WHERE THE MONEY WAS SPENT.

AND AGAIN, THIS ALL GETS ROLLED UP BY ONE JANUARY AND PRESENTED IT AGAIN TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND THEY, THEY DO PACKAGE IT UP AND THEY SHOW EVERY COUNTY WHERE THE DOLLARS WERE SPENT.

AND, AND SO OUR LEGISLATORS, THEY ARE, UH, SENATORS AND SO ON, HAVE AN, THE OPTION OF SEEING WHERE THE DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SPENT IN THEIR DISTRICT.

SO, UH, IT'S JUST A, A REQUIREMENT AND WE WILL ALSO HAVE, UM, BE WORKING ON OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

OUR ANNUAL AUDIT WILL BE, IT HAS TO BE DONE BY ONE OCTOBER.

AND AGAIN, ALL THAT GOES TO THE STATE TO ENSURE HOW AND WHEN OUR DOLLARS WERE SPENT.

ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS SAY NONE WILL THE, CHAIRMAN'S GOING TO KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT.

I'VE TALKED ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY AND I'M HEREBY ADUR THE MEETING.

OUR NEXT MEETING IS NOVEMBER THE 16TH.
