[00:10:05]
YES SIR. ON HEALTH CARE THIS WILL BE OVER A DIRT ROAD.YEP. I'M NOT SURE THE CRITERIA FOR DOING ANYTHING TO IT BUT IT'S IN NEED OF SOMETHING IT'S OWNED BY I THINK IT'S OWNED BY TONY HILTON.
I BELIEVE MITCHELL DESERVES I BELIEVE MITCHELL BILL IS HILTON HEAD AND THERE MAY BE A SMALL PORTION THAT'S COUNTY BY REALLY THE MAJORITY OF IT IS THE TOWN ACTUALLY NOW OKAY ACTUALLY MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE SMALL PORTION THAT WE OWN HAS BEEN OFFERED TO THE TOWN WE'VE OFFERED TO PROVIDE MONEY TO THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD TO TO RESURFACE AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO. BUT THE IDEA IS THAT WE WE'RE NOT GOING TO TOUCH IT BECAUSE IT'S THE MAJORITY OF IT IS OWNED BY THE TIME THE HILTON IS I BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT.
I KNOW IT IS NOT ON OUR FIVE YEAR PROGRAM RIGHT NOW BUT BELIEVE THAT WHAT YOU JUST MENTIONED IS CORRECT. SO IT'S ONLY A SMALL IT'S A FAIRLY SMALL ROOM PROBABLY A MILE IF THAT IS AS THAT'S A DIRT ROAD WHAT IS KIND OF THE SHORTEST ROUTE? OFFICIAL FOUR YEAH AND I BELIEVE A LOT OF USE BECAUSE OF THAT AND I BELIEVE THAT'S KIND OF THE TOWN'S IMPETUS FOR IT IS THAT THERE IS A TOWN OWNED PARK BACK THERE BUT SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT GERALD MITCHELL MITCHELL BILL ROAD KNOW WHERE ANYTHING WITH THAT STANDS? LOOK I'VE HAD CONVERSATION WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBER FROM THAT DISTRICT AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO THE THE COUNTY THE TOWN ADMINISTRATOR ABOUT DOING THAT IT THERE'S ALSO TWO OTHER ROADS THROUGH THREE OTHER ROADS WE'VE TALKED TO THEM ABOUT ARROW BURST BEACH THERE'S WHAT'S THE OTHER WITH ARROW BURST BEACH THERE'S SEVERAL OTHER ROADS OFF OF BURGES BEACH THAT WE'RE GOING TO WIND UP GIVING SINCE WE'VE BROUGHT THEM UP TO THE COUNTY STANDARD NEW ORLEANS INTENT TO TURN THEM OVER TO THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD AND LET THEM HAVE THE ROADS FUTURE IS CORRECT. WE DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE OF HILTON HEAD TRANSPORTATION. I MEAN MAYBE THEY COULD SHED SOME LIGHT ON THAT ROAD OR WHATEVER I DON'T KNOW RIGHT NOW TO TELL YOU BUT I WILL CHECK INTO IT.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO FOR NEXT ONE UP IS YEAR SIX RESURFACING WE ARE IN AND PUNCH LIST ON A MAJORITY OF THE ROADS ON THAT VINTON FIELD ROAD AS EARLIER AGAIN WANT TO REITERATE THE CHAIRMAN'S THANKS TO ALL OF OUR AND THOMAS CONCRETE THEY'VE BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN GETTING THIS PROJECT GOING AND COLLABORATING WITH IT WE HAVE LAST WEEK THEY REMOVED THE ROADWAY SECTION IN FRONT OF ONE OF THOMAS'S GATES AND POURED IT BACK WITH CONCRETE THIS WEEK ACTUALLY TOMORROW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TODAY BUT WITH THE WEATHER IT WAS DELAYED. THEY WILL BE REMOVING OF THE ROAD AND FRONT ONE ENTRANCES TO PALMETTO BREEZE AND PLACING CONCRETE BACK AND THEN ONCE IT HAS TIME TO CLEAR NEXT WEEK THEY WILL MILL THE ROAD AND PUT ASPHALT BACK TO FINISH THE SURFACE ON THE REST OF THE SO HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THE MONTH WE WILL HAVE THAT ONE COMPLETED.
QUESTION IS IS THERE MEANING OF THE COLOR CODING ON THAT THE GREEN IS COMPLETED EXCEPT FOR PUNCH LIST GOTCHA. NEXT UP WE HAVE PRESERVATION WHICH MICROSERVICE YOU KNOW COUNTY ROADS AND CHIP SEAL AND DOTTIE ROADS AGAIN THAT ONE HAS BEEN COMPLETE EXCEPT FOR PUNCH LIST IT SIX REJUVENATE OR HAS ALL COUNTY ROADS FOR THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THERE'S PUNCH LIST ON THAT ONE BEFORE WE GO DOWN LOTS OF IT I MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE ROADS WE DID WITH CHIP SEAL WAS PRETTY WELL ACCEPTED BY DISTRICT SIX YES I WOULD LIKE FEEL LIKE YEAH THERE'S STILL SOME PUNCH DESIGNS WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR GET COMPLETED BUT THAT WAS A CHIP SEAL WITH A FOG SEAL OVER TOP OF IT SO SO NEXT WE'LL MOVE INTO WE NOW HAVE ALL OF OUR BIDS AND PROPOSALS BACK FOR OUR SEVEN CONTRACTS SO I HAVE THOSE BROKEN DOWN NEXT THIS IS THE YEAR SEVEN RESURFACING IS BROKEN UP BETWEEN THE COUNTY ROADS AND THE CDOT ROADS THE COUNTY ROADS PORTION BACK I BELIEVE WE ALL HAVE THE BID TAB FOR THIS ONE. BLYTHE WHO DID THIS YEAR'S PROGRAM WAS THE LOW BIDDER.
THE COUNTY ROAD PORTION WAS $2.3 MILLION. THE DOT ROADS WAS 1.75 ROUGHLY.
[00:15:07]
THEY ALSO WE HAVE REACHED OUT THEY BID ON PATCHING OF BLUFFTON PARKWAY BETWEEN BUCK ISLAND ROAD AND RED CEDAR THAT CAME IN 134,000 AND THAT IS GOING TO COME OUT OF THE ONE TIME FUNDING THAT WAS PROGRESSING TO RECEIVE FUNDING WE'VE $400,000 BACK FOR THE YEP AND SO THAT LIKE I SAID THAT'S GOING TO BE BULK I'LL ISLAND TO RED CEDAR TO FIX WHERE IT HAS BEEN POTHOLE IN FAIRLY I KNOW THE TOWN'S REACHED OUT AND ALONG WITH SOME OF THE MEMBERS ON THE COMMITTEE AND ON COUNCIL AND SINCE IT CAME IN IT WAS A LOWER QUANTITY THAN WE THOUGHT WE MAY BE ABLE TO EXPAND THAT TO GET SOME OTHER PORTIONS OF THE PARKWAY AS WELL SO THAT WAS ALL FROM BLYTHE. WE HAVE REACHED TO TRAN SYSTEMS WHO IS ON RCI ON CALL FOR THE COUNTY TO PROVIDE PM AND SEE I SERVICES AND THEIR ESTIMATE FOR THAT WAS ALMOST 64,000 YEAR SEVEN PRESERVATIONS ON ON YEAR SEVEN RESURFACING NOTE THAT UNDER NCDOT ROADS WE PICKED UP I THINK CHEROKEE FARMS WAS ONE OF THE ROADS WE RECOMMENDED AND ROB THAT AND THEN ALSO ALMA WERE THREE ROADS THE REMAINING ROADS CAME OFF OF OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR LOW VOLUME ADT THE CHEROKEE FARMS RUG RACK AND ARMOR WERE PORTIONS THAT WERE ALL SELECTED IN SEPTEMBER.CHEROKEE FARMS THE COUNTY IS THE COUNTY OWNED PORTION OF IT I BELIEVE TWO YEARS AGO SO THAT WILL COMPLETE THE REST OF THE ROADWAY AND ARMOR ROAD I BELIEVE WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT DOING ARMOR FROM BENTON FIELD BACK UP TO BURNT CHURCH SO THAT THAT SECTION IS IN THE WORST WORSE SHAPE PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE BUSSES CONCRETE. SO THAT'S THE SECTION WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT DOING THERE THE REST OF IT IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE SO THIS IS 2024 YES THIS FINE YES WE GOT THE BIDS BACK ON THIS SO THEY WOULD BE STARTING WHEN WE CAN GET VOTED ON BY COMMITTEE AND COUNCIL AND THEN GET CONTRACTS BACK. SO THIS WOULD BE FOR 2024 IT'S OUR YEAR SEVEN WHICH IS 2023 THE YEAR SEVEN PRESERVATION AND THIS IS MICRO SERVICING ON COUNTY ROADS IS APPROXIMATELY 527,000 AND THIS IS GOING TO BE SLURRY PAVERS WHO DID LAST YEAR'S PORTION AS WELL DO THE SERVICING AND WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO ICE WHO DID THE CGI THIS YEAR TO PROVIDE PM AND CGI SERVICES FOR THE PRESERVATION AND THE REJUVENATED CONTRACT AS WELL AND THEIR BID WAS A LITTLE OVER 40,000 AND AGAIN ARE ON OUR CALL YEAR SEVEN REJUVENATE OUR CAME IN A OF 172,000 AND THIS IS AGAIN COUNTY ROADS THESE ARE ALL ROADS THAT HAVE BEEN RESURFACED WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS I BELIEVE AND A COUPLE OF DIRT ROADS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN PAVED TO DO THE FIRST ROUND REJUVENATE ARE THOSE SO HERE IS A BREAKDOWN OF ALL THOSE CONTRACTS ON ONE SPOT OVERALL IS COMING OUT TO ABOUT $5.1 MILLION IF WE LOOK AT THIS BASED WHAT IS COUNTY AND WHAT IS D.O.T. WE ARE LOOKING AT ABOUT 37% IS GOING TO THE STATE WHICH IS EXCEEDS OUR REQUIREMENT OF 33% AND WE WOULD RECOMMEND FOR A ALL THESE PROJECTS A 20% CONTINGENCY EXCEPT FOR REJUVENATE WHICH WOULD BE 10%.
AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS A WE HAVE INCLUDED THE D.O.T. IN THAT INDEX IS FOR ASPHALT ON THERE SO THERE IS SOME FLUCTUATION MONTH TO MONTH WITH ASPHALT PRICING AND FUEL PRICING AND THAT APPLIES THE MICROSERVICE THING AS WELL. AND THEN AS A REMINDER WE APPROVED TWO YEARS AGO GOING TO WORK OFF THE STUDIO TS INDEX FOR OUR FULL PURCHASING SO THAT WE CAN ADJUST OUR PRICING AS IT GOES UP OR DOWN RATHER THAN HAVING A FIXED CONTRACT THAT WE WE'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE AND WE'RE NOT BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY BIDDING. SO THAT'S JUST THE REFRESHER AND ALSO THIS IS WE HAVE THESE IN THE PAST IS LUMP SUM THIS IS WE BID THESE THIS AS QUANTITIES AND UNIT RATES SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'RE DOING THAT. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE RECOMMENDING 20% CONTINGENCY.
BOTH OF THESE THINGS THAT I JUST MENTIONED UNIT RATES AND LUMP SUMS AND THE USE OF THE INDICES WERE RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU KNOW, ON FROM THE CONTRACTORS IN THE PAST ON HOW
[00:20:04]
WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET MORE COMPETITIVE BIDS VERSUS LUMP SUM WHERE EVERYTHING'S JUST LUMPED TOGETHER AND THEN NOT USING THE INDICES BECAUSE THEN THEY'RE STUCK YOU KNOW, WITH THE PRICE THEY BID, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY EIGHT OR NINE MONTHS AGO.AND IF WE HAVE WHAT WE HAD KNOW TWO YEARS AGO WITH THE VOLATILITY OVER THE SUMMER MONTHS WITH I THINK ASPHALT WENT FROM LIKE $500 A TON TO OVER 800.
THEY'RE LEAVING A LOT OF MONEY ON THE TABLE AND THEY HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT IN LUMP SUM PRICING. SO AND WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR RESURFACING CONTRACT WAS I BELIEVE A COUPLE PERCENT OF OUR ENGINEERS ESTIMATE. SO IT WAS IT WAS PRETTY CLOSE.
SO WITH THAT I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AND THAT FINISHES SO FOR ME THE QUESTION TODAY I THANK YOU MUCH APPRECIATE NEXT ITEM IS C 170 TRIANGLE UPDATE AND ONE OF THE THERE WE'LL TALK ABOUT TWO BRIDGES THAT AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN AND BOARD THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME SO 170 AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE WE'VE GOT THE TRIANGLE PROJECT THERE WHICH MAKES THAT ONE 7278 IN OUR GEM BOULEVARD IRST OUT OF THE GATE LAST YEAR WE WERE ABLE TO PUT A BID WHAT WE CALL THE NEAR TERM PROJECT WHICH IS ON 170 SO FIXING SOME PINCH POINTS ALONG ONE SEVEN YEARS AND SPECIFIC INTERSECTIONS AND WE PUT THAT OUT TO BID. THEY WERE ABLE BEFORE THE WINTER SEASON SET IN THEY WERE ABLE TO WORK ON THE TWO INTERSECTIONS THERE AT 170 EXTENDING THE TURN LANE I'M GOING TO FOR 62 NORTH ON FOR 62 AS WELL AS ADDING THE SECOND TURN LANE LEFT OUT OF ARGENT BOULEVARD ON TO 170 NORTH SO THOSE TWO ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR AS FAR AS THE TIMING HOW NOW WE'RE TO LET MORE TRAFFIC FROM ARGENT TO GET TO THE NEXT SIGNAL UP SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT TIMING AND CONTINUING TO MONITOR THAT AS THE WEATHER STARTS TO WARM UP YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MORE ACTIVITY START TO TAKE PLACE AT THE 278 AND 170 INTERCHANGE SPECIFICALLY ON THE ON THE SECTION THERE WE'RE GOING TO WIDEN A LITTLE BIT GOT A LITTLE BIT OF BASS TO PUT IN THROUGH IF YOU'RE HEADING SOUTH ON 170 WE'RE BASICALLY THE TURN LANE INSTEAD OF START AND JUST PAST THE INTERSECTION TO GET THE BRIDGE AND INTO A ROUNDABOUT WE'RE EXTENDING THAT TURN LANE THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION SO THERE'S SOME ASPHALT TO DO RIGHT THERE SO THAT'LL BE THE AREA YOU'LL START TO ACTIVITY BETWEEN THAT THAT PART OF 170 ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE ENTRANCE THAT THROUGH AT SOUTH OKATIE BOULEVARD THERE'S IMPROVEMENTS THERE TO BE MADE AS PART OF THE PROJECT AND THEN UP TO 70 ARE THE ALL FOUR RAMPS AND THE SECTION FROM THE OVERPASS AT 170 BACK EASTWARD TOWARDS OKATIE RIVER THAT SECTION WILL BE RESURFACED AS PART OF THAT PROJECT SO I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A COMPLETION DATE AT THE END OF SUMMER FOR THAT PROJECT A NEAR TERM IS OCTOBER OCTOBER SO BUT A LOT OF ASPHALT WORK AND AGAIN WE PARTNERED WITH D.O.T. ON THAT SO AND JASPER AND HARTSVILLE SO A LOT OF GOOD CROSS COORDINATION ON THAT. SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NEXT THESE SIGNALS THERE'S A LOT OF SIGNAL PRESSURE ON ON THE SIGNALS IN THE AREA AS WELL AS SOME OR AN ANALYSIS THEY'RE BEING MET ON SOME NEW SIGNALS IN THE AREA SPECIFICALLY OLDFIELD AND EAST ARGENT AND DIRECTLY THIS SERGEANT AT THAT INTERSECTION THE WARN ANALYSIS HAS BEEN LOOKED AT AND FOR A SIGNAL AS WELL AS ON ARGENT BOULEVARD WHERE THE OTHER END OF THAT EAST SERGEANT COMES OUT AT NEW RIVER PARKWAY OUR NEW RIVER ROAD THERE. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ONE ON OLDFIELD CITY OF HARDY BILL'S WORKING ON THE ONE AT AT ARGENT BOULEVARD AND THEN D.O.T. IS LOOKING AT THE ONE AT ARGENT BOULEVARD AND 278 A SIGNAL THERE AT THAT LOCATION.
THERE'S ALSO OTHER SIGNALS IN THE AREA AS FAR AS RELOCATING OR 62 THERE.
THE LONG TERM PLAN IS TO MOVE THAT SIGNAL UP FURTHER NORTH SO IT'S IN THE TANGENT SECTION AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL SIGNAL. I'M TRYING TO ASSURE GERTRUDE HARDY BILL HAS A PLAN IN PLACE FOR THAT THAT SIGNAL WILL BE INSTALLED AND. I THINK I'M MISSING ONE MORE ANYHOW FROM 462 ALL THE WAY TO 270 THERE'S SIX SIGNALS THAT ARE IN SOME FORM OF IMPROVEMENT
[00:25:06]
OR SOME FORM OF DESIGN. WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING A SCHEDULE SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO PRESENT THAT AND SAY OKAY THIS IS EXACTLY WE'RE DOING MORE THAN LIKELY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID WINDMILL HARBOR AND WHAT WE'VE DONE AT ON BLUFFTON PARKWAY IS TO TO INSTALL AN INTERIM SIGNAL SO A WOODEN POLE WITH FRAME POLES IN ORDER TO GET THE SIGNAL INSTALLED AND LATER COME BACK WITH THE LONG TERM IMPROVEMENTS WITH MAST ARMS OR WHATEVER WOULD BE PRESCRIBED AT EACH INTERSECTION. SO AGAIN THOSE THOSE HAVE A LONG LEAD TIME SO TO TRY TO FAST TRACK THE PROJECT THAT'S GOING TO BE THE PLAN.WE CAN INTERRUPT YOU HERE FOR COUNTING BUT A PARCEL OF LAND ALMOST ACROSS FROM SAINT GREGORY THE GREAT 100 ACRES IN THERE PLUS OR MINUS I THINK. AND THAT'S WHERE ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDINGS ARE GOING TO BE RELOCATED AND SHERIFF'S OFFICE AT JOHN PAUL.
SO ACROSS FROM A SCHOOL AND JOHN PAUL ON THE DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE OTHER ROAD 115 ACRES WE BOUGHT LAST YEAR FOR A LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER AND TYPE OFFICER.
SO WE'RE ABOUT TO PUT THAT OUT BID TO DO THE RFQ AND MASTER PLAN OF THAT SITE.
BUT THE INTENT IS THAT THE EXISTING 170 OUT IN THE CURVE WOULD BE RELOCATED AND IT WAS FIT IN BETWEEN THE TWO SCHOOLS IN BETWEEN ACE AND JOHN PAUL. SO THEY BOTH HAD SIGNALIZED ACCESS AS WELL AS WOULD LINE UP TO THE FUTURE MASTER PLAN OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER THERE THAT THAT 115 ACRES AS WELL AS GET IT OUT OF THAT CURVE SO ALL THAT WORK AND AS AND THEN AS FAR AS THE BIGGER PROJECT WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS ON THAT IS NEXT MONTH IN FEBRUARY AT LAST THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF UPDATES TO THE TO THE TO THAT THE THE TECHNICAL HAS MADE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE POLICY COMMITTEE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS BE BROUGHT FORWARD IN FEBRUARY FOR THE POLICY COMMITTEE TO MOVE ON INSIDE OF THAT IS FUNDING FOR THE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING TO GET STARTED ON THE TRIANGLE PROJECT SO PENDING APPROVAL ON THAT FROM LAST THERE WILL BE I THINK IT'S ABOUT $2 MILLION OR TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS PER SCRAP TO GET THAT PIECE MOVING AND DUE OR BE COUNTY WORK WITH DOT AND WITH LESS TO FACILITATE THAT MORE THAN LIKELY THROUGH THE LPA PROCESS THROUGH THE COUNTY. SO THAT WILL BE THE BIGGEST COG IN THE IN THE GEARS TO GET MOVING AT THAT POINT WE CAN OFFICIALLY SAY THE TRIANGLE PROJECT IS MOVING THE LARGER TRIANGLE PROJECT IS MOVING SO WE REFERENCED OKAY. ALL RIGHT ON TO 78 THIS IS A REALLY SHORT UPDATE BE BECAUSE FROM WHEN I TALKED TO YOU GUYS IN THE LAST THERE WE HAD JUST FINISHED THE PRESENTATION OUR JOINT INDEPENDENT REVIEW AND THE COUNTY COUNCIL HAD JUST BROUGHT A WROTE A NOTE TO THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD REQUESTING THEIR MUNICIPAL CONSENT VIA JET BY JANUARY 31ST. SO WE ARE STILL IN THAT POSITION AND WE'RE WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE TO BE TO JANUARY 31ST 30 QUESTIONS AND IT'S MUCH SHARED THE UPDATE RIGHT NEW
[6. NEW BUSINESS]
BUSINESS SELECTION COMMITTEE STREETS WITH 18 BETWEEN 502,000 I'M GOING TO DIGRESS FOR A SECOND AND GO BACK AND GIVE YOU LITTLE BIT OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST FOR THOSE WHO WEREN'T ON THE COMMITTEE ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO THE COMMITTEE MADE THE DECISION THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT IN SPECIFIC ROAD 580 AND WEST BECAUSE THESE ARE STREETS WHICH DOTS WILL NEVER MEET DOT'S CRITERIA FOR PAVING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE SO WE'VE TAKEN THAT ON AND DEVELOPED A FIVE YEAR PLAN. THE DECISION WAS BY THIS COMMITTEE AS WELL TO TAKE 500 TO 12 SOME ANYTHING WITH LESS THAN 2000 ADT AND TO SELECT STREETS IN YOUR DISTRICTS AND PUT THEM IN FOR CONSIDERATION WHICH YOU SAW WE HAVE IN YOUR SEVENS PAVING CYCLE IT'S BEING DONE AFTER A GREAT DEAL OF REFLECTION I WONDERED I HAVE PUT TO THEM MUCH RESPONSIBILITY ON EVERYBODY'S SHOULDERS AND SIMPLY SAYING RATHER THAN HAVING YOU AS COMMITTEE MEMBERS[00:30:05]
TO SELECT STREETS I HAVEN'T ENTERTAINED THE THOUGHT OF US GOING AHEAD AND HIRING A CONSULTANT TO LOOK AT ROADS BETWEEN 502,000 WITH THE IDEA THAT IN PARTICULAR THESE RESTRAINTS AND AGAIN DON'T WE PROBABLY NEVER TOUCH THAT WAY IT TAKES A OUT OF YOUR WHEELHOUSE BUT IT STILL MAKES YOU LOOK AT THEM AND ACT ON THEM.I RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S DISTRICTS WHERE WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY STREETS IN THAT CRITERIA. WHAT YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE ANY CRAIG PROBABLY DOESN'T HAVE ANY AND. SO WE HAVE WANT THAT DON'T MEET THAT CRITERIA SO THE OTHER THING THAT OPEN FOR DISCUSSION IS WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ROUGHLY 1.1 1.2 MILLION TO BE SPENT ON STATE ROADS IT'S BY SOME STATES IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SUCH I'M OPEN FOR EITHER HIRING A CONSULTANT OR WORKING 500 OR 2000 OR LOOKING AT DIFFERENT CRITERIA CONVERSATION WILL THERE BE NEW ADT IS AVAILABLE? NO MA'AM.
SO WE'LL STILL BE USING THIS SAME ENERGY AS YOU KNOW THAT MY CONCERN IS THAT WE'VE SUCH A CHANGE IN TRAFFIC IN MY IN MY DISTRICT THAT USING THOSE NOW FIVE YEARS OLD THREE THREE YEARS OLD AND THREE YEARS OLD THAT'S STILL BEEN A HUGE CHANGE IN TRAFFIC PATTERNS WHERE STREETS FORM WHEN EVEN THREE YEARS AGO WERE LOCAL RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND NOW THEY'VE BECOME THOROUGHFARES FOR PEOPLE GOING FROM LADIES TO THE HOSPITAL BASICALLY AND EVEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT USES THAT AS THEIR AS THEIR STREET INSTEAD OF RAINBOW ROAD.
AND SO YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE SITUATION IS THERE'S A LOT MORE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ROADS THAN THERE WAS THREE YEARS AGO THE SITUATION IS WE WERE THE FIRST WE MADE QUITE A STINK DOG ABOUT GETTING OUR ROADS DONE AND WE WERE THE FIRST ONES IN THE STATE TO HAVE THEM DONE AND STATE SECONDARIES OR FIVE OR SEVEN YEARS DEPENDING AGAIN ON TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND SO TRYING TO GET THAT CHANGED IS PUTTING TOWN HALL I DON'T THINK KNOW IT'S JUST AS I SAY IT'S A CONCERN NOT JUST ME I MEAN I JUST HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF MANY PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE AND DEAL WITH THIS AND AND THE ROADS ARE OKAY NOW BUT YOU KNOW WE CAN ALL SEE THAT FROM THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC AND HEAVY TRAFFIC LIKE FIRE ENGINES AND AMBULANCES IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST AS LONG IT WAS PLANNED FOR. IF WE GO AHEAD WITH HIRING CONSULTANTS DO PUT IT OUT RFP AND HAVE A CONSULTANT DO IT. IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT WE CAN DRAW ATTENTION TO SURFACE STREETS IN ANYBODY'S DISTRICT TO DO SO BECAUSE OUR IS THE FIRST THING I WOULD ENDORSE THE USE OF SCHOOLS BECAUSE PERSONALLY MAYBE IT'S MY AGE OR LACK OF COMPUTER SKILLS BUT FOUND IT CHALLENGING TO TAKE THE VARIOUS DATABASES COME UP WITH A LIST OF ROADS THAT MEET THE CRITERIA THAT WE'RE IN THE DISTRICT BECAUSE YOU WERE SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BETWEEN DATABASES AND I WAS I ENDED UP QUITE FRANKLY CONFUSED SO IF IT WAS IF IT'S JUST A DECISION TO MAKE.
BUT WHETHER YOU WANT TO DO THIS THIS OR THIS IT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER OR FOR FOLKS OF MY TO I THINK TO A COMPUTER SKILLS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE LIST COMPILED AND THEN LOOK AT THE ROAD SAY WHERE YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE ANYTHING DONE ON IT THAT'S PART OF BE HAPPY TO DO BUT KNOW ROADS ARE THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD WAY OF LOOKING INTO IT AS WELL AS HAVING THEM DEVELOP THE LIST AND THE CRITERIA AND PUT IN A FIVE YEAR PLAN AND THEN HAVE US LOOK AT IT AND DISCERN WHETHER WE WANT TO FOLLOW THE FIVE YEAR PLAN THAT THEY PUT OUT OTHER THAN I, I WOULD ENDORSE THAT APPROACH. I MEAN I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I TOOK THE 2020 DATA A LONG TIME AGO, PUT IT INTO A SPREADSHEET I COULD SORT SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT MANIPULATION GOING BACK FORWARD. SO I WAS ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, EASILY SAW IT BUT I HAVE A LOT OF ROADS IN MY DISTRICT THAT ARE VERY VERY LOW 83 NOT GOOD NO GOOD PIZZA EYES MEAN VERY POOR EYES BUT THEY'RE LOW TRAFFIC SO FOR THIS ROUND I WOULD HAVE ONLY HAD ONE YOU KNOW, GREATER THAN 500 LESS. I KIND OF SEE HEADS SHAKING AROUND THE ROOM, YOU KNOW,
[00:35:06]
MOTION. YES. I MOVE THAT THE COMMITTEE HIRED A CONSULTANT TO LOOK AT THE CRITERIA FOR THE 500 TO 2000 ROADS 80 TO 80 TO HAVE A SEARCH FOR THE DISCUSSION. GREAT BECAUSE YOU CAN RUN A I THINK THIS PREMISE IS TO SPEND MONEY ON STATE HIGHWAYS. IS THAT CORRECT FOR A CONSULT WITH A CONSULTANT PARTICULARLY ON YOU'RE LOOKING AGAIN AT STATE HIGHWAYS THAT PROBABLY WILL NOT BE MEET THE REQUIRED CRITERIA EVERYBODY GOT TO DO WORK ON I WITH YOU ON THAT PARTICULAR STATEMENT BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE DEPARTMENT HAVE SOME KIND OF INDICATION ON THESE ROADS ABOUT WHEN THEY NEED TO BE RESURFACED OR TREATED OR WHATEVER SHE WAS THERE FOR, YOU KNOW. YOU'VE SAID THAT IN THE PAST AND WELL, YOU KNOW MY POSITION ON THESE ALL THINGS I'M I HATE TO BE THE ONLY ONE SITTING AROUND THIS TABLE WHO'S GOING TO VOTE NO BUT THAT'S THE THAT'S THE WAY GOING TO HAVE TO BE THAT'S FINE WE'LL TAKE THAT WE'VE CHRIST WE HAVE A MOTION THE SECOND ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY I WOULD WELL THOSE VOTES NO SO OKAY WILL WE BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME INPUT ON THE RFP YES YOU ME I'VE DONE A LOT OF THIS THROUGH ME BLUFFTON PARKWAY UP THERE I. THINK YOU'VE ALREADY KIND OF DONE THAT BRIAN YES. YOU'RE AWARE THAT WE HAVE A WRITTEN IN THERE THAT THE PATCHING OF BLUFFTON PARKWAY ONCE WE DO GET CONTRACT IN THE KNOW IS PROCEED WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THEY DO I THINK WE HAVE WE HAVE TO NEGOTIATE WITH HIM WHAT WE ASKED FOR 30 DAYS FROM BE FOR THEM TO BE COMPLETED WITH IT SO WE'LL HAVE TO THE GOAL IS TO GET IT BEFORE THAT HERITAGE BUT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN BUT TRY TO GET AS CLOSE TO YOU KNOW APRIL TIME FRAME AS POSSIBLE FOR THAT SO BUT YEAH SO THAT'S IT AND WE WILL LOOK AT YOU KNOW IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY TO ADD ADDITIONAL PATCH AND WE'LL LOOK AT THAT AS WELL. SO I MEAN I ALWAYS THINK FOR THE CONDITION OF BLUFFTON PARKWAY THAT SORT OF DETERIORATED BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS HIGHER THAN WAS PREDICTED OR YES. AND IN PARTS IS I MEAN IT REALLY WAS YEAH.AND WE HAD A THE COUNTY HIRED A CONSULTANT TO LOOK AT WE'VE LOOKED AT TWO SECTIONS WE LOOKED AT THE SECTION FROM BUCKINGHAM PLANTATION AND UP TO THE FLYOVER AND THAT SECTION THEY YOU KNOW FELT IT HAD PROBABLY EXCEEDED ITS DESIGN LIFE OR IS EQUAL COUNT THE SECTION BETWEEN BUCKINGHAM I'M SORRY BUCK ISLAND ROAD AND RED CEDAR WE HIRED CONSULTANTS TO LOOK AT THAT AND THEY FOUND THE SAME THING THEY THOUGHT IT PROBABLY MET DESIGN LIFE AND YOU KNOW THE EASEL COUNT THERE SO THEIR RECOMMENDATION FOR MORE OF A LONG TERM IS TO EVENTUALLY AS FUNDING PERMITS MILL OUT THE FOUR INCHES OF ASPHALT AND PUT IT BACK.
WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER OPTIONS THERE INCLUDE DOING YOU KNOW, A POSSIBILITY OF DOING A HOT AND HOT IN PLACE RECYCLING WHICH WOULD BE A COMBINATION OF MILL HOT IN PLACE AND PUTTING A SURFACE OVER IT. SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT ALSO BUT STILL THAT'S GOING TO BE DEFINITELY A LONG TERM PROBABLY MORE YOU KNOW, TEN YEAR GOAL IN STAGES DEPENDING ON FUNDING. BUT THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT IT WAS IS I THINK IT'S MET ITS DESIGN SO THE PROCESS HAS BEEN USED UP IN THE NORTHERN PART OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO SOME SUCCESS AND SO REPORT TO USING IT INSTEAD OF MILLVILLE. YEAH YES AND THE ANSWER THE SHORT ANSWER IS THAT THE ROAD HAD A 15 YEAR DESIGN AND TRAFFIC VOLUME.
ADT WAS SUPPOSED TO HIT THAT THE 15 YEARS WORK IS EXCEEDS THE TRAFFIC VOLUME AT TEN YEARS. I MEAN THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS A REAL AND THERE DEFINITELY IS THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S THE ISSUE AND I MEAN I THINK THAT SOME OF THE OTHER ROADS IN BEAUFORT COUNTY ARE GOING TO BE FACING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WAS SUPPOSED TO LAST FOR X YEARS AND IT'S REALLY DIVIDED BY TWO OR SOMETHING AND IT WE DID PALMETTO BAY ROAD FOR FOUR YEARS AGO FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO AND PALMETTO BAY ONLY HAD A 15 YEAR LIFE EXPECTANCY AND THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC THAT WAS ON IT FAR EXCEEDED WHAT THE DESIGN
[00:40:03]
WAS FOR IT AT THAT POINT IN TIME. SO THAT'S WHY WE SPENT A COUPLE TWO AND A HALF $3 MILLION PER HEAD OF THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULE WE PUT IN THE CAR PAID FOR IT.YEAH AND THAT'S SOMETHING IT'S NOT JUST MY NEIGHBORHOOD IT CONCERNS ME IS THAT ROADS ARE BEING PAVED OR CONSTRUCTED WITH AN EXPECTED LIFE AND IT DOESN'T COME ANYWHERE NEAR THAT WHICH WOULD AFFECT BUDGETING FOR EVERYTHING. YEAH AND I THINK ON BLUFFTON PARKWAY WHAT WE SAW ESPECIALLY ON THE SECTION OF THE FLYOVER WAS THE EXPECTED 80 AT SAY TEN YEARS WAS ACHIEVED A FEW YEARS EARLIER SO I THINK THE GROWTH IS PROBABLY OUTPACED THE DESIGN OVERALL YEAH SO OKAY THANK YOU NEXT ITEM SHOULD SAY ELECTION OF OFFICERS NOT OFFICER WHEN THE CTSI WAS REORGANIZED I WAS SELECTED CHAIRMAN AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WHEN WE FIRST PUT OUR FIRST TRANSPORTATION PLAN TOGETHER WAS THAT I FELT IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T LIKE ME BEING CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE THEY GET A CHANCE TO GET RID OF ME AND TO HAVE SERVED NOT MORE THAN ONE YEAR SO IN DOING SUCH IT GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE SERVE AS CHAIRMAN . SO WITH THAT I'LL HAVE A NOMINATION FOR CHAIRMAN OF CTC . YES SIR.
WITH A GREAT DEAL OF PLEASURE I NOMINATE CRAIG GORDON TO BE SUCCEED HIMSELF AS THE PRESIDENT OR CHAIRMAN OF THIS BOARD DIRECTORS. I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT I SIT ON A LOT OF BOARDS SOME MANY IN THIS REGION AND WE ARE INDEED EXTRAORDINARILY TO HAVE A CHAIRMAN WHO PUTS AS MUCH TIME AND AS KNOWLEDGEABLE AS CRAIG IS.
SO IT WAS A GREAT DEAL OF PLEASURE THAT I NOMINATE YOU SIR.
THANK I'M HUMBLED BY THAT AND THE OTHER NOMINATIONS CAME AS CALLED FOR A VOTE.
I MOVE IT BE DONE BY ACCLAMATION, SIR. THANK.
VERY GOOD. SO NOW WE KNOW WHO TO WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WELL I GOT BROAD SHOULDERS SHOULDERS AS A VICE CHAIRMAN THIS YEAR IN THE PAST JOHN GLOVER HAS SERVED AS VICE CHAIRMAN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND THROUGH SOME PRIVATE WITH JOHN HE BASICALLY IS TO HAVE TROUBLE ATTENDING MEETINGS THIS YEAR SO I'M TO OPEN THE FLOOR TO HAVE A NOMINATION FOR VICE CHAIRMAN OH WELL I GUESS I CAN DO THIS THROUGH ACCLAMATION THEN SO I'LL NOMINATE ART. I'D BE PLEASED TO SERVE SIR. OKAY.
DO I HAVE SECOND? I CAN DO WHATEVER. PLEASE SAY I I RAISE A QUESTION SIR TO THIS SIR DID JOHN WRITE A LETTER SAYING HE WILL OR WILL NOT ACCEPT THE NOMINATION I HAVE I HAVE PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS.
