n the fast-paced world of technol-ogy and infrastructure changes, the foundation of our ability to govern begins at the local level, with our city halls, public works

and public safety facilities, our parks properties, and our libraries. Our recently released 2019 top five trend-ing technologies are asset manage-ment, augmented reality, automated/connected vehicles, cybersecurity and smart cities. With the exception of automated/connected vehicles, one could argue that the remaining four can all be related to facilities and grounds. APWA’s Facilities and Grounds Committee keeps pace with these trending technologies and infra-structure changes needed for today, as well as for future generations. The committee is a resource for all public works agencies and professionals.

Over the past several years, the Facili-ties and Grounds Committee has been working on developing a certificate program for the facilities and grounds professional. Many facilities and grounds professionals begin their public works careers in other tech-nical areas, and often “inherit” a facilities and grounds management position, with little or no formal training or background. Recognizing a need to develop a basic program that would assist such a professional, the

Facilities and Grounds Committee identified the key focus areas where the manager would receive the basic “how to do” outline.

The certificate program will cover the basics of building management, including building systems, project management, workflow management, maintenance scheduling and preven-tive maintenance, grounds, mainte-nance, capital planning, equipment replacement, asset management, custodial maintenance, energy management, ADA compliance, and environmental issues.

Planning for emergencies has also been a topic addressed by the commit-tee. Over the past two decades, much of the building industry focused on “green buildings” or LEED-certified buildings. While the long-term ben-efits of this certification are positive, and should be pursued, ensuring that our public buildings are resilient needs to be an important factor in our evaluation of new and existing facili-ties. The recent epic events we have witnessed over the last several years—from fires in California to floods in Texas to terrorism in New York—prove that our public buildings must ensure that governance and basic services are maintained.

I recently attended the Iowa Chapter fall conference where Richard Fosse presented a session on “The Core Competencies of Resilience.” This ses-sion was based on the lack of sufficient planning and preparation to respond to and recover from natural disasters. The conference was held in Iowa City, home to the University of Iowa, a city and campus plagued by frequent flooding of the Iowa River.

Hazards to buildings can come in many forms: earthquakes, wind, flood-ing, fire, terrorism, utility failures, cyber breach, etc. Identifying all the potential threats to our public build-ings necessitates us to investigate how we can best prevent, mitigate and overcome these threats.

There is also a means for profession-als, both young and seasoned, to contribute to the committee. The Facilities and Grounds Committee will soon be sending a call for members to be involved with the Facilities and Grounds Knowledge Team. This is an

excellent way for members to become involved with APWA’s Technical Com-mittees, without the need of making a long-term time commitment.

At APWA, the Facilities and Grounds Committee will continue to be your resource and will continue to pro-vide innovative ideas on how we as

a profession can address facility and grounds issues. Additionally, if you have an issue that you would like assis-tance in solving, please join and use the infoNOW Community. Together, we will meet the demands for public spaces, buildings and parks, and create an improved livable community.


he mission of the Facilities and Grounds Commit-tee is to provide APWA members with the resources for exchanging and developing ideas, information, skills, knowledge and technologies for the operation, management and maintenance of public buildings,

grounds and parks. The committee also recommends and advances APWA policies and positions concerning public facilities and grounds issues.

Facilities and Grounds Committee members have an appre-ciation and understanding of all aspects of public buildings, parks, cemeteries, urban forestry and grounds. Commit-tee members have experience and knowledge in building systems, life safety systems, building maintenance, park/grounds maintenance, environmental and safety regu-lations, and operations. Most importantly, committee members have passion, commitment and dedicate time in furthering the field of public works as it relates to facilities and grounds in the development of educational materials and resources for the entire membership of APWA.

Over the past several years, the Facilities and Grounds Com-mittee has been working on developing a certificate program

for the facilities and grounds professional. Many facilities and grounds professionals begin their public works careers in other technical areas, and often “inherit” a facilities and grounds management position, with little or no formal training or background. Recognizing a need to develop a basic program that would assist such a professional, the Facilities and Grounds Committee identified the key focus areas where the manager would receive a basic “how to do” outline. The program will cover topics such as:

• Building Systems (includes Life Safety)• Project Management• Workflow Management• Maintenance Scheduling & Preventive Maintenance• Grounds Maintenance• Capital Improvement Planning• Equipment Replacement• Asset Management• Custodial Maintenance• Energy Management• Environmental Issues• ADA Compliance

TECHNICAL COMMITTEE NEWS


The committee plans to have an inaugural session for the certificate program at PWX in Seattle.

At PWX in Kansas City, the committee held a Happy Hour Jam Session with interested professionals, to gain insight on important topics and trends in the facilities management and grounds maintenance fields. Additionally, the com-mittee wanted to gauge the interest from members in the development of a certificate program.

Also at PWX in Kansas City, committee member Gary Rank provided a session entitled “Facility Emergency Planning for Public Buildings.”

In April 2018, the committee sponsored a Click, Listen & Learn session entitled “Growing and Maintaining Healthy Grass.” The session was very informative and educational. Dr. Mike Goatley of Virginia Tech University along with committee member David Pinsonneault provided members with expertise in this area.

Committee member Matthew Villareale will be formulat-ing a Click, Listen & Learn in November 2019 on using logic systems to reduce energy costs and consumption in public buildings.

For 2019, the Facilities and Grounds Committee will be chaired by Mark Whitfield who serves as the Public Works Director for the City of Milford, Delaware. Mr. Whitfield is joined by the following committee members:

• Jeffery Brown, Engineering and Infrastructure Director, Cumberland County, North Carolina

• Andrew Lafferty, Cornerstone Construction Services, Woburn, Massachusetts

• David Pinsonneault, Director of Public Works, City of Lexington, Massachusetts

• Gary Rank, Facilities Manager, City of West Des Moines, Iowa

• Matthew Villareale, Assistant Public Works Director, Prince William County, Virginia

• Matt Harper, APWA Education Manager, serves as the Facilities and Grounds Committee’s Staff Liaison.

• Mary Joyce Ivers, Acting Public Works Director, City of Ventura, California, serves as the APWA Director-at-Large for Fleet and Facilities Management.

A s an APWA member you can participate in the final stage of the process to select members of the APWA Board of Direc-

tors. Effective May 15, members will vote to affirm the selection of candi-dates for the following board positions with terms expiring September 2019:

• APWA President-Elect

• Director-at-Large in the functional area of Fleet & Facilities

• Regions I, II, V, VI and VIII Region-al Directors

How are the nominees selected?Earlier this year, Regional Nominating Committees were established. Each Chapter President in Regions I, II, V, VI and VIII appointed an individual who interacts with others at regional and national events and could repre-sent their chapter’s membership when reviewing and discussing nominee’s qualifications, contributions and com-

mitment to the profession. Nominat-ing committee members carefully reviewed the nominations of individu-als interested in serving as a Regional Director. Through a series of phone conferences, the qualifications of can-didates as well as their answers consen-sus was reached on a single individual for each region.

The National Nominating Commit-tee was appointed by APWA Presi-dent Lawry and is composed of one member from each region. The APWA Board of Directors approved the appointments to the committee via electronic communication. The two most recent National Past Presidents served as facilitators of the confer-ence calls and deliberation. Following careful consideration and, in the case of the President-Elect position, phone interviews, the National Nominating Committee came forward with names for the President-Elect and Director-at-Large positions.

Why should I vote?Your vote endorses the diligent process undertaken by APWA to identify the most qualified candidates to represent APWA. While it is an uncontested election, the opportunity to write in a candidate is present.

The ballot will be available for online affirmation between May 15 and June 12, 2019, on the “Members Only” section of the APWA website. There will also be a voting icon on the “My APWA” section of the website. Addi-tional reminders of the voting process will be sent through the APWA website; via e-mail to every member for whom we have an e-mail address; and in the May and June issues of the APWA Reporter.

If you have questions, please contact Teresa Hon at (816) 595-5224 or [email protected].

APWA’s North American Snow Con-ference will take place May 19-22 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Wednesday morning, May 22, is dedicated to technical tours. APWA’s Utah

Chapter is planning some great tours, including Salt Lake County’s Public Works Operations facility (described below) and a tour of Morton Salt’s local facility. Check the Snow Conference website for updates on the technical tour program.

Welcome to Salt Lake County Public Works! The 2019 APWA North Ameri-can Snow Conference, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, will include a tour of our primary Salt Lake County Public Works facility located in Midvale, Utah. This facility provides a home base for Public Works Operations, Fleet, Flood Control and Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District. Other divi-sions within Salt Lake County Public Works & Municipal Services Depart-

ment are Animal Services, Engineer-ing, Planning and Development, and Solid Waste. Salt Lake County Public Works Operations includes six other satellite yards throughout the county where equipment, salt piles and other resources are stored.

Public works within Salt Lake County really began centuries ago with the first trails and communities created by the Shoshonean tribes who lived in Salt Lake Valley. They included the Sho-shone, Paiute, Goshute and Ute Indian tribes. The Mormon Pioneers arrived

in the valley in 1847 and immediately began laying out an accommodating settlement in preparation for the thou-sands of emigrants that were to follow. At that time, the Salt Lake Valley and the entire “Utah” area were located in Mexico. It wasn’t until a few years later (1850) after the Mexican-American war that Utah became part of the United States as a new territory. The first for-mal meeting of Salt Lake County gov-ernment occurred on March 15, 1852. Many public works projects followed including layouts of cities, building of roads, dams, canals and subsequent railroads and airports. Water resources were organized and water delivery systems engineered.

In 1896, Utah became a state and an official county commission was created. The population of Salt Lake County numbered 77,725 residents in 1900. The first electric traffic light

was developed in Salt Lake City. This occurred in 1912. During the Depres-sion, public works projects were funded at over $340,000 in wages to offset unemployment. In the 1970s many public works projects were organized within the Highways and Flood Con-trol Departments. By 1978 an official Public Works Department was created by ordinance. The county continued to grow to 725,956 residents in 1990 and currently is populated with well over a million people. Multiple cities within the county maintain their own public works services for their residents.

total of 146 leaders from 56 different chapters converged in Kansas City from January 31-Febru-ary 1 for the biennial Chapter Leaders Training and the Council of Chapters’ Winter Meeting.

There were 79 participants in attendance for Chapter Lead-ers Training and 67 delegates and alternate delegates on hand for the Winter Council of Chapters Meeting, which was held at the Westin Hotel at Crown Center. The national Professional Development Committee and APWA board also

met in conjunction with the CLT and COC meetings.

The theme for this year’s event is tied together with the overall theme for the other major APWA events such as the North American Snow Conference, PWX and National Pub-lic Works Week activities: “It Starts Here!”

The event took place during a particularly rough stretch of weather, which delayed and cancelled flights from various parts of North America.

It Starts Here! Chapter Leaders Training and Council of Chapters’ meeting brings members to Kansas CityBrad Patterson, Chapter Membership Manager, American Public Works Association, Kansas City, Missouri

A

The breakfast area at the Westin Hotel at Crown Center in Kansas City was busy on Thursday and Friday mornings during the Chapter Leaders Training and Council of Chapters’ meeting. This time provided chapter leaders from all over North America an excellent opportunity to network with their peers.


“We appreciate the efforts of all those who attended and the support of our chapters in sending leaders to these training opportunities,” said Ashley Wilson, the Associate Director of Membership for APWA. “It really took an effort for some of our chapter leaders to make it to Kansas City.”

The biennial Chapter Leaders Training event provides chap-ter leaders—many of them new to their positions—a chance to understand the workings of APWA, how the national organization works with chapters, services provided and resources available.

“There is so much in the way of information and resources available to our chapter leaders,” said Wilson. “Chapter Leaders Training provides an opportunity for leaders to gain insight while meeting other leaders from across the United States and Canada to exchange ideas, best practices and chapter challenges. Feedback from attendees was over-whelmingly positive.”

The Council of Chapters’ Steering Committee met to discuss programs and projects that can impact the future of the association and the profession. There were also regional meetings, which gave those attending the chance to hear directly from their Regional Director.

During the CLT, APWA National President David Lawry and Executive Director Scott Grayson welcomed all the chapter leaders and provided a thorough overview on how APWA is structured, reviewed the strategic priorities of the associa-tion, and highlighted some of the “big picture” undertak-ings of APWA such as membership, supporting and strength-ening chapters, professional development and advocacy for public works at the state and federal levels.

APWA Past President Bo Mills and Region IV Director Doug Layton talked about what it meant to be a board member and encouraged those attending to take back to their chap-

ters what they learned during their time in Kansas City and hit upon key themes such as networking and building on chapter capacity for the future.

“It is always good for the volunteer leaders to hear what is going on at all levels of APWA,” said Brad Patterson, Member-ship Manager for APWA. “Understanding the relationship between the national office and the chapters is important. The chapters, through the efforts of our chapter leaders, are the connection to APWA for much of the membership.”

Lowell Aplebaum, the CEO and Strategy Catalyst for Vista Cova, was the opening session presenter. His session on “Creating the Member Experience” was very well received. Creating that individual member experience is vital to the growth and vitality of APWA on the national level as well as the “local” level in the chapters.

APWA staff combined to make 19 presentations on what the various departments are doing in the national office and highlighted the resources available for the chapter leaders.

Breakout sessions included tips on membership recruitment and retention, how the national committee process works, and why serving on a Technical Committee is a way for mem-bers to help shape the future of the public works profession.

There was a session for chapter treasurers, as well as one on the APWA Awards Program and a general session by the APWA Education & Credentialing Department on how a chapter can and should set its education and credentialing itinerary.

The opportunities to network with other chapter leaders was one of most popular activities of the session. Through both facilitated and impromptu sessions, the chapter leaders had a chance to interact with their peers from

other chapters, many of whom they had never met, and exchange ideas and questions.

Tammy Bennett is the new Director of Membership & Engagement for APWA. She was impressed with how the chapter leaders interacted with each other.

“This was the first Council of Chapters meeting or chapter leaders training that I attended, and I learned a lot,” she said. “Seeing the chapter leaders and delegates work together at the regional level was great.

“Learning from your peers is a big part of the whole APWA volunteer experience,” said Bennett, a former chapter leader and Kansas Chapter President.

The social event at “Howl at the Moon” in the Power & Light District in downtown Kansas City was also well attended despite the frigid temperatures.

The next Chapter Leaders Training will be held in 2021.

n May 23, 2018, Concord Public Works celebrated National Public Works Week by hosting the 8th grade from the Middle School (over

230 students). This was the twelfth year that the students were included in this event. Last year’s theme was “The Power of Public Works.”

Anna Trout, Administrative & Special Projects Coordinator, and the CPW team spent months in preparation for this event in coordination with

Doug Shattuck, the Applied Technol-ogy teacher from the Middle School, and the teachers and staff who helped as chaperones for the event. Planning begins once again for the next year as soon as the event concludes.

Richard Reine, PWLF, Director of Pub-lic Works, thanked all who made the day a success, as the group assembled for a group photo. He acknowledged that this event was made possible by the hard work of the public works staff, school staff, including the chaperones,

who spent a great deal of time and effort to prepare for this event.

The event was a great success, provid-ing a unique opportunity to show students what goes on “behind the scenes” and demonstrating how the students can have a positive effect on the environment.

Wayne Busa, Concord Schools Trans-portation Manager, coordinated the five buses and drivers that brought the students to three different loca-tions throughout the day, which made things run smoothly. Ned Roos of WIQH (Concord Carlisle High School) radio station set up some music and a great sound system for the conclusion of the event.

Public Works was showcased by the fol-lowing events:

Stormwater System Maintenance – CPW’s Highway and Grounds Divi-sion including Jeff Koranda and Bob Trainor, along with Peter Hardy from CPW’s Water/Sewer Division, and others conducted a session including

a catch basin cleaning demonstration and information about how beavers can cause problems with drainage. Var-ious equipment was set up for display including the Park & Tree Aerial Truck, which Tim Jones demonstrated. Tish Hopkins conducted a trivia contest that challenged the students’ knowl-edge of local issues.

Stormwater and Water Quality Over-view – CPW’s Engineering Division led by Jake Zwicker, along with Tim Wilson and Nate Chin, conducted an educational session at “Junction Park” in West Concord to demonstrate the importance of stormwater manage-ment, showing how bioretention works while including some fun activities for the students.

Hazardous Waste Disposal – CPW’s Administrative Division led by Rod

Robison, Environmental Svs. Pro-gram Administrator, along with Paul Reinhardt and Nancey Carroll, entertained the students with an edu-cational skit which pointed out how important reuse is for the environ-ment. The students were able to come up with their own innovative ideas in a friendly competition.

Stormwater Pollution Preven-tion Videos – Ben Clayman showed students the public service announce-ments that they created in class, dem-onstrating how to prevent stormwater pollution. There were a number of great videos shown.

Wastewater Treatment Plant – A tour of the plant was conducted by CPW’s Water & Sewer Division, led by Valerie Doerrer with assistance from Woodard and Curran staff. Alex Wahlstrom and

Students saw what goes on “behind the scenes” and learned how they can have a

positive effect on the environment.

Melissa Simoncini, from CPW’s Water/Sewer Division, provided a presenta-tion on water conservation including a lively water relay demonstrating the importance of conserving this valu-able resource.

Best Management Practice for Turf Grass – Dan Rowley, Keith Baldinger and Mick Hone conducted a session at Keyes Road where the students learned about turf management and performed hands-on Ph testing of the soil. CPW’s snowfighting procedures and tree pro-gram were also discussed.

Susan Clark and Chris Kizik operated the popcorn machine and distributed this tasty snack to hungry partici-pants. There are many other employees who also aided with this great event including Andy Giles, Rich Weaver and Andrew Walker.

“It Starts Here” is the theme for the 2019 National Public Works Week. This theme represents the many facets of modern civilization that grow out of the efforts put forth by the public works professionals across North America. APWA encourages public works agencies and professionals to take the oppor-

tunity to make their stories known in their communities. The National Public Works Week How-To Guide and Down-loadables area are available to agen-cies to assist in the development and implementation of their own individual celebrations. For more information, please visit www.apwa.net.

fter a very long and arduous endeavor, the Fountain City is now internationally recog-nized as having one of the top 1% public works departments

in the United States. When Patricia Biegler first came to Columbus, Ga., as the first female Director of Public Works, one of the very first long-term goals she established was for the organization to be accredited by the American Public Works Association. Having just completed this process in Chesapeake, Va., Pat understood the benefits of accreditation as well as the level of dedication and effort that her

staff would have to put forth in order to successfully accomplish this goal. This long-term goal that started in October 2014 was finally achieved on August 20, 2018, as Columbus became the 146th agency accredited by APWA.

Over the course of the last few years the Columbus Department of Public Works has been working to improve its prac-tices, procedures and efficient service to the citizens of Columbus. This effort has not been just for the benefit of the public, it has also served to ensure that the department is operating under the best business practices that have been

adopted across the country. These practices and procedures help to ensure that efficiency, consistency and review are the basis of operations. In order to reach this high level of performance, the Columbus Department of Pub-lic Works made the commitment to becoming an accredited agency.

In the BeginningThe initial challenge probably occurred the first time “accreditation” was men-tioned during a staff meeting. Ques-tions such as “Why change, where is the time to complete, what is the need, and who is actually going to benefit?”

APWA Accreditation: “The benefits to the organization’s efficiency and effectiveness are huge”Tommy Beauchamp, Waste Disposal Assistant Manager/APWA Accreditation Manager, Columbus Consolidated Government, Columbus, Georgia

Columbus, Georgia


were probably in the thoughts and minds of some. It would have been difficult, to say the least, to understand the actual benefits that the accredita-tion process would provide, not only to the department but at the division level as well. This challenge would only increase with the understanding of what would be needed along with the level of dedication and time that would be expended to accomplish this task. It was easy to see this as the next “new idea” that would hopefully fade away with a little time. However, Pat was determined to see this through and very quickly set the division managers to work.

Even deciding which chapters and practices were non-applicable was made difficult due to the departmen-tal structuring of our city. Then, once tasks were delegated, it was quickly identified that collaboration would be needed because of how interconnected and interdependent our department operates. Time was probably the greatest challenge throughout the accreditation process. Some managers were able to see that their respective divisions were already working within the guidance set by the manual, and all

that was really needed was to formalize their processes by documenting their procedures and policies. While this task was easy for some, others had bigger challenges. The manual also challenged some divisions to improve their internal processes through newly identified poli-cies and needed procedures.

As time moved on so did personnel, and the mission of providing contin-ued service to the city remained the priority. One of the biggest challenges was with the continuity of accredita-tion efforts during changes of division-al leadership. We were continuously creating new procedures and some staff were constantly refreshing existing

The long-term goal that started in October 2014 was finally achieved on August 20,

2018, as Columbus became the 146th agency accredited by APWA

documents to change with personnel. Accreditation was easily placed on the back burner when Columbus was impacted by severe weather, higher volumes of work orders, and other extraordinary needs of the citizens. Through strategic planning, Pat would have to refocus the department on accreditation.

The Home StretchWith a little over six months left before time would run out, Pat placed a renewed importance on her goal of accreditation. She established a dedi-cated Accreditation Manager, Tommy Beauchamp, to assist the division managers and to facilitate the comple-tion of the process. After almost four years of hearing “accreditation,” staff was frustrated and motivation had started to wane. With a new set of eyes and a different organizational approach, practices were quickly

converted to a digital library and the individual practices started changing from “needs work” to “completed.” “Having an Accreditation Manager from the beginning would have been greatly beneficial due to the fact there would have been [one] person to keep the momentum going and would have likely resulted in a more organized process from start to finish,” said Chris Brown, Rainwater Division Manager. Other than providing a more focused effort, the Accreditation Manager collaborated directly with APWA and other municipalities to ensure that the intent and understanding directed by

the manual were being maintained and followed.

As the process neared its completion, we submitted for our peer review with APWA. Columbus was one of the first cities to be given a fully electronic peer review. There were some definite ben-efits with this process, as well as some difficulties. The biggest gain in having the peer review done electronically (other than saving travel expenses) was the opportunity for credentialed pro-fessionals in the specific area of review to be able to look at the documents and offer some more detailed observations. Compared to one or two individu-

als looking at upwards of 30 different subject areas, an agency can now have individual chapters looked at separate-ly by experts in the field. Moving on from the peer review was a challenge. We had identified many practices that would need to be better developed and our time to accreditation was just a few weeks away.

Elbow grease, burning the midnight oil, or burning the candle at both ends—whatever we needed to get it done, it was going to get done. Done well! This last week was probably where the most team effort was needed and given. Not only did no one want to be the reason for failure, but they did not want to see their friends/peers/family fail either. Resources were pooled, and all needed documents were reviewed, submitted and uploaded all the way up until the first review by the accredita-tion team. The accreditation team was comprised of Tracy Quintana (Kansas City, MO), Laura Brown (Bowling Green, KY), and Brad Lear (Canton, MI). We still were not done. As each chapter was reviewed our intent was to address each deficiency and sugges-tion and make changes as they applied or were required. By the end of the review 312 practices were reviewed and 312 practices were found to be fully compliant, with two of our practices archived by APWA as “Model Practices” to aid other agencies in their efforts to become accredited. The Columbus, GA Consolidated Government Depart-ment of Public Works became the 146th agency in North America to be awarded APWA Accreditation, and the 4th agency in the State of Georgia.

On October 2, 2018, Pat Biegler received the accreditation award, on behalf of the department, from APWA Region IV Director Doug Layton at a presentation ceremony in front of City Council. The City Manager, Isaiah Hugley, stated that “Public Works Director Pat Biegler and her team have worked hard to achieve this major accomplishment. Director Biegler

has been an exemplary servant leader here in our community. She has made her mark on Columbus and we are so proud to have her on the CCG/Colum-bus Consolidated Government Team. She has inspired others to be the best when it comes to serving the citizens of Columbus, Georgia. It was no surprise to me that she led our city to APWA accreditation. We do amazing things in Columbus, Georgia!” Not only did Pat finally complete her goal of accredita-

tion for her department, she and her staff were able to see the improvement within the department. “This has been a long and demanding process, but the benefits to the organization’s efficiency and effectiveness are huge,” Pat Biegler said. “I’m extremely proud of the team that has made this difficult transition to a more proactive operation.”

ost can agree there are very few if any states, cities, or towns that are free of litter and don’t have litter control issues or concerns. The word “litter” entered the mainstream in the 1950s by means of the American Public Works Associa-

tion and it is generally defined as misplaced solid waste. This misplaced solid waste as I will refer from this point on as “litter” has been a persistent problem worldwide for some time. As the number of miles of roadways, the number of vehicles, and vehicle traffic increased, so did the amount of litter. Convenience also played a factor in the increase in lit-ter. Convenience stores, local and roadside gas stations, fast-food drives, and one-stop shops helped in the increase of litter. These businesses have also contributed in litter being brought onto local streets and into neighborhoods.

The effects of litter and the cost of litter collection are burdensome to municipalities, their residents and commu-nities. The nationwide cost in the collection of litter alone is in the billions of dollars and every year it continues to

rise. This does not consider the cost of the environmental impact. Litter can create an environment and an element of crime. Streets littered with trash give the appearance that no one cares, and no one is in charge. Littered places look uncivilized and depreciate the visual value of the surrounding environments. It affects local tourism as it makes city areas and roadsides look unacceptable. The public and tourists also tend to avoid areas that are littered based on how such areas appear uncared for and unclean. The impact of litter is very serious but not always obvious. What cost can you place on the loss of tourism, new busi-ness, relocation, and development?

Litter abatement campaigns are great; they bring together millions of people nationwide for cleaning up littered areas. State and local government, neighborhoods and homeown-ers associations also conduct these anti-litter and cleanup campaigns. The amount of litter picked up during these events is very rewarding for the efforts of those involved but saddened by the amount of litter that has been tossed for

Creating a sustainable litter control program

someone else to clean up. How can we use these campaigns to raise awareness, education, and change the behavior and attitudes of individuals to keep them from littering? How do we get more involvement? Most individuals who participate in these events have buy-in on “Keeping America Beautiful.” How can we change the attitudes of individuals who don’t participate; the individuals who feel littering is not impor-tant, they have no interest, they never had any previous involvement, there is no benefit to them, feel this will have personal cost and inconvenience? Many believe the benefit-to-cost ratio is low and the demand for a litter-free envi-ronment is not strong or widespread. How do we create a sustainable anti-litter campaign or program to address these attitudes and behaviors?

Currently and in the past, most anti-litter campaigns consisted of educating people about littering and raising awareness. Today’s campaigns must focus on a sustainable approach that continues to focus on raising awareness and education but to include behavior and attitude change. Until we create a sustainable anti-litter campaign or litter control program, we will continue to celebrate the success in the amount of tonnage, and the number of bags of trash removed during these campaigns. How many times have you seen where an anti-litter campaign had just conducted a major cleanup of litter only to find several days later that perfect area, where hundreds of people dedicated their time and efforts, is once again covered in litter? This happens because the campaign has only completed a portion of a lit-ter control program. This scenario will continue to happen if programs only focus on raising awareness and education.

However, a more direct level of focus needs to be applied to behavior and attitude change if progress in litter control programs is to be made.

A sustainable anti-litter program at a minimum must con-tain the following:

1. Enforceable Litter Laws. Putting in place strict litter laws ensures no litter is discarded, thrown or dropped onto private and public places. Such laws work towards prohibiting illegal dumping and littering. The law must also clearly stipulate that dumping is a serious offense, punishable by serving a jail term and fines. These laws must be enforced which will serve to change the atti-tude and behavior piece of the sustainability effort.

2. Anti-litter Campaigns. Community programs and groups should be created with the sole aim of running anti-litter campaigns to educate and raise awareness. “Keep the environment tidy” programs and community cleanup events can be a lot of fun and are sufficiently valuable in spreading the message. The campaigns can also be incorporated in bulletin boards, social media platforms, and newsletters to spread the message widely.

Campaigns speak a lot and provide relevant knowledge about the environmental costs of littering, eventually addressing some of the problems.

3. Posting Stop Littering Signs. Posting signs is a very cre-ative way of putting a stop to littering. The signs should be placed in high littered areas and those that are prone

One of many “Please Don’t Litter Make Valdosta Glitter” signs posted around the city

to littering such as the streets near public transport stations. Routes used on daily basis by pedestrians and commuters also deserve “stop littering signs” to con-stantly remind people that littering is a bad thing and should thus be avoided.

4. Strategically Placing Litter Bins. Measures must be taken by municipalities to ensure there are enough garbage bins installed in various areas for effective garbage disposal. Placing enough garbage bins in town centers, walking routes, public areas, and near bus stops as well as fast-food restaurants offers convenience in the disposal and collection of litter.

The bottom line is to deter people from littering. Creating a sustainability program that focuses on a continuous effort to raise awareness, educate, and change the behavior and attitudes of individuals and communities about the effects of littering must be the primary goal. The success of the program should be measurable. Metrics should include the reduction of litter collected, complaints by citizens, and the positive aesthetic appearance of the community.

Litter begets litterIndividuals are much more likely to litter into a littered environment. And once there, it attracts more litter. By con-trast, a clean community discourages littering and improves overall community quality of life.

he multi-generational work-force is more prevalent than ever these days, and with that comes a whole new set of issues and conflicts. Some

older generation employees resist change and are stuck doing things the way they have always been done, while the younger generation of employ-ees may be too quick to reinvent the wheel. This old-versus-new battle surfaced once our younger generation, the Millennials, entered the workforce and our older generation, the Baby Boomers, began pushing retirement to later ages—consequently, leading to the very diverse generational working environment we have today. The Pew Research Center’s 2017 study of the U.S. labor force found that our current workforce is made up of 2% Silent/Greatest, 25% Baby Boomers, 33% Generation Xers, and a combined 40% of Millennials and Post-Millennials. The Millennials have taken the lead as the largest generation currently in the workforce. With the recent change came an overwhelming number of opinions on how to “deal” with the insurgence of younger employees. My opinion, as a 30-year-old Millennial in the workforce, is that we would all

benefit by making a concerted effort to understand every generation, across all age ranges.

What is a Baby Boomer?The range can vary depending on the source, but the consensus seems to be that a Baby Boomer was born between the years of 1946 and 1964. This gen-eration did not grow up with the inter-net and technological advances we have today. What are some stereotypi-cal traits of a Baby Boomer? Negative stereotypes include that Baby Boom-ers are set in their ways, technology deficient, and coast through work until retirement. This may be true of a small percentage of Baby Boomers; however, there is no catch-all label for any group of people. I know plenty of people in this age range who strive to learn more every day and are always looking for new ways to continue their education and adapt to new technologies. Baby Boomers make up a significant percent-age of the workforce and surveys show that many will continue to work part-time after retiring. A recent survey by AARP of a group of 2,001 people born in the Baby Boomer generation showed that 63% of Boomers plan to work at least part-time in their retirement. Five percent said they will never retire

because they enjoy working, while the remainder keep working because they need the money due to lost retirement savings. Baby Boomers have invaluable experiences and can’t be dismissed because we assume that they don’t understand changing technology. Look past the stereotypes and get to know your Baby Boomer coworkers and ask

them what support they need in order to thrive in their job.

Looking past the Baby Boomer stereotype In order to get an accurate perspective, I interviewed fellow APWA member and Baby Boomer, Carl Schoedel. Carl has 33 years of professional experience

and now works as the Director of the Kane County Division of Transporta-tion in St. Charles, Illinois. He manages a department of 65 full-time employ-ees, including professional, techni-cal and administrative staff as well as skilled tradesmen. In the following section you will find some strategies we discussed for looking past the typical Baby Boomer stereotypes and using this generation’s strengths to benefit your team.

Carl and I discussed several advantages of having a Baby Boomer on your team. One of the primary advantages we agreed on was their length and breadth of experience. Because the Boomers are now among the longest serving employees in the workforce, they’ve been exposed to a wide range of overall economic conditions, market disruptions, and industry-specific circumstances. That experience posi-tions them to be better able to antici-pate what is going to happen given a certain set of conditions. It also allows them to formulate solutions to prob-lems that they’ve seen before. Our older generations want to feel useful and appreciated; and passing on their wisdom to our younger generations is an invaluable asset. Millennials need to get over their egos at times and admit they need help. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Our older generations want

to help you if you will let them. On the reserve side, we also concluded that Baby Boomers also want to learn from Millennials. Take the time to teach our older generations to use the latest tech-nology if they ask for help. Our older generations are willing and capable of learning new things. Find strategic and respectful ways to offer suggestions to give them more efficient use of tech-nology. Intergenerational sharing of knowledge and wisdom will strengthen the individual as well as the team.

The second advantage that Carl men-tioned Baby Boomers bring to the table is an attitude toward work itself. The willingness to be self-sacrificing; put-ting in the extra effort when it’s neces-sary can be very inspiring to a team. This trait will generally lead to a better work product for an individual project, as well as more successful outcomes for a series of undertakings, which ulti-mately translates to a more productive organization over time.

What is a Millennial?The stereotypical Millennial is some-one born between 1981 and 1996, according to the Pew Research Cen-ter. “Millennial” is one of the more

frequently searched words on the internet. Just Google it and you will see hundreds of articles on the topic, usu-ally painting a negative picture of Mil-lennials. Some of the negative stereo-types that will appear in your search will include self-absorbed, tech-obsessed, idealistic, lazy, entitled, and the list goes on. So, when someone labels you as a Millennial these days, it’s usually not intended as a compliment.

I have been called a Millennial more times than I can count. The label used to be thrown at me anytime I suggested incorporating new technology. This was especially true when I was fresh out of college, in my early 20s. I really wanted to make a difference and had new ideas to help improve processes. However, often when suggesting some-thing new, I would get turned down or dismissed. After this feeling of defeat, I job hopped, like the stereotypical Millennial, until I finally landed some-where that I felt valued my ideas and skills. The longer I have been in the workforce, the less frequently I have been labeled as a Millennial. I don’t believe anyone should settle for a job they don’t enjoy simply for a paycheck. Maybe that’s the Millennial in me, but I think people from every generation should make it a point to find meaning in their work.

Looking past the Millennial stereotypeSo how do we become more accepting of the growing Millennial generation entering the workforce? We start by looking past the stereotypes and listen-ing to what it is that drives our younger generations to give their best effort and feel like a productive member of the team. In my opinion, Millenni-als have many positive attributes to contribute to a team including passion for their work, fast-learners, innova-tive, collaborative, and tech-savvy. Millennials crave collaboration with our teammates and look for regular feedback from our colleagues. Keep-ing open communication with your younger and older teammates is crucial to the success of any project. I know from personal experience that under-standing the big picture on a project

helps me feel motivated to do my part. I appreciate feeling included in open discussions from the beginning, rather than being fed information on a need-to-know basis.

One of the most common negative stereotypes I’d also like to address is that Millennials are tech-obsessed; but let’s be honest, everyone is addicted to their cell phones these days, regard-less of age. Keep in mind, too, that just because someone is on their phone in the workplace doesn’t mean they are wasting time on social media all day. So much communication with employees and clients occur through texts, e-mails, and phone calls man-aged through our cell phones. My advice is to try not to be too quick to judge someone as being tech-obsessed and consider that they may be using the technology in order to do their job more efficiently. The older generation should use the Millennials as a resource to tap into and learn how new technol-ogies can make their lives easier.

Moving forwardBoth Millennials and Baby Boomers are looking for the same thing. Each side wants to share what they know and excel at with their team members. Both groups need to listen to what each has to say, and only then will the real col-laboration begin. It’s all about finding a balance between the old-versus-new concepts and deciding what works best for your multi-generational team. The multi-generational workplace isn’t changing anytime soon. My advice is to invest the time now to listen, learn, and lead by example.

poiler Alert: The goal of this article is to have you take action to pursue the development of your front-line workers regarding the topic of diversity and the skills to be inclusive and culturally compe-

tent. Figure out a way to do this better than this pilot effort and share your success.

To achieve well-functioning, respectful, and inclusive work environments, we must not only invest in our supervisors’ and managers’ development but—equally important—we must also invest in our front-line staff to increase their cultural competence. Cultural competence is the ability to appreciate, welcome, and benefit from our diversity (defined as the differences among us that make a difference) and leads to an inclusive work environment, effective collabora-tion and empathy. The St. Paul Public Works Department recently completed a pilot effort to bring brief focused cul-tural competency training events (toolbox topics) to front-line employees in their workspace in a time frame that works for their operations. You may find this effort meaningful to consider for your workplace but most importantly, please consider some method to develop the cultural competency of your front-line employees in a way that is effective for your work culture/environment.

As I write this article, St. Paul Public Works employees are performing snow removal operations and other activities such as light pole knockdown repair, along with all the other myriad responsibilities that a thriving public works department addresses each day. This public service work is the reason we exist just like other public works departments as well as those who work with us in the consulting, equip-ment and materials supply industries. We all continuously work to improve our safety, productivity, cost-effectiveness and responsiveness, as well as our facilities, equipment and materials management, and our environmental manage-ment. None of these efforts can be fully successful or truly enjoy-able without an inclusive workplace that respects and welcomes the diversity of its workforce. What this requires is a culturally competent workforce working effectively across differences and cultures. Cultural competence allows an organization to consistently exhibit behaviors, based on common values, that allow employees to consistently—in all that they do—and effectively manage the differences that create diversity in an organization and to effectively and respectfully inter-act with others.

As challenging as cultural competence is to define and envi-sion, it is many factors of complexity harder to find a way to bring any education or training effort regarding cultural competency to a field or front-line employee environment. This is, however, critical to our success. Like most field employees I have known over 30 years in this business, most of my current front-line employees do not want to go some-where and sit in a classroom for two or more hours to hear a lecture regardless of the skill of the speaker. That approach is necessary for some situations, but I challenged myself with the question of how to approach cultural competency train-ing in a more front-line-friendly method.

As a result, the St. Paul Public Works Department conducted a pilot effort in the fall of 2018 to deliver cultural competen-cy “toolbox” topics to front-line employees in two divisions (Traffic Operations and Sewer Utility Maintenance) in a method that fits into their work environments.

Training least disruptive to field operations was structured as:

• Maximum of 5-7 minutes for each training session—keep highly focused

• Maximum of one session per week for each division—frequently enough to build off previous sessions but not too frequent to become disruptive to field operations

• Deliver the educational content of one resource fully—through multiple sessions—before moving on to another resource. This ensures quality of content and overarching structure allowing delivery of complex topics

• Deliver the session at the beginning of the work day right after stretching and just before orders given out when employees move into the field

• All employees—front-line and field supervisors—participate

• Do not use handouts—keep it conversational

• Begin with presenters that clearly champion the goals pursued

• Use a template for consistent coverage of each session’s topic which includes an action request for participants. Apply a filing nomenclature to assist with tracking what has been presented.

• Use sign-in sheets to track participation and ensure cor-rect delivery of topics in order.

Both Traffic Operations and Sewer Utility Maintenance Divisions begin the day work shift with a stretching program that lasts about 12 minutes and then issue orders for the day. Once a week for about six minutes, between stretch-ing and orders, I delivered a series of structured discussion topics resulting from a dissection of the book Filter Shift: How Effective People SEE the World by Sara Taylor. This is a cultural competency resource with which I am familiar and feel comfortable presenting. The content of this reference seems applicable to the divisions involved in the pilot, and the structure of how its content is presented lends itself well to the brief delivery required. Many excellent resources exist whose content would lend themselves well to this structure.

The template used for the pilot included the following com-ponents:

• Title and numerical system for tracking topics within a learning management system

• Learning Objective

• Speaking Points

◦ Introduction

◦ Main Point

◦ Why this is important to you

◦ What is expected of you

◦ Example to relate to

◦ Opportunity for questions

• Questions for Comment/Contemplation & Action Chal-lenge

• Resource for Questions or More Information

• Identify Source Material

Not all of these are explicitly discussed during the toolbox session, but using the structure ensures transfer of the source material into an actionable message and discussion.

After several sessions with each division, an evaluation survey was shared with all participants in both divisions. While employees in each division had been predominantly welcoming and attentive with positive verbal feedback, get-ting anonymous feedback and suggestions for improvement was critical to determine if the program should continue

and in what format. Most employees completed the survey and many shared suggestions such as incorporating more employee interaction, being careful not to repeat concepts, and making sure requested actions are clear, along with posi-tive statements for the pilot structure and the overall effort.

The Traffic Operations Division evaluations show strong support for the pilot program and 60% or more of the par-ticipants indicated that they are thinking and acting on the toolbox topics which is heartening.

Completed Evaluations of the Cultural Competency Toolbox Topics Pilot Effort


The Sewer Utility Maintenance Division evaluations show a mixed appreciation of the pilot program and that forthright-ness is appreciated since it causes strong analysis for poten-tial improvements. Tuning the delivery of topics to each division to address their interests or concerns will hopefully shift employees who are neutral to a positive disposition.

Between the evaluation numerical results and the written responses, the City of St. Paul finds that, with improvements such as incorporating more interaction, the program can accomplish its overall goals. Therefore, weekly Toolbox Top-ics will continue in 2019 for Public Works operational divi-sions continuing with the resource material started in 2018. The location, timing, approach and duration fit the needs of the operational divisions and are cost effective. While it is not logical to assume every front-line employee will success-fully hear, retain and apply what is being shared, there are many more who do, and as we improve the delivery, we can reach more employees over time.

A fundamental truth is that intelligent agencies and busi-nesses that intend to stay viable, productive, respected, and attract and retain the best employees know that they must

invest in their workforce including development of their employees’ cultural competency. It is critical to consider employees at every level of the organization. This is not a simplistic endeavor and cannot be cursorily undertaken, but tackling the opportunity by making a plan and adjusting it as you learn what works best is very much worth the effort. Our employees and the customers that they interact with all deserve the benefits accomplished. Get going!

PWA’s Kansas City Metro Chapter has long recognized the need to build relation-ships with its local and

regional education partners. The Kansas City region is rich with a mul-titude of public and private education systems K-12 as well as community colleges and universities. Johnson County Community College (JCCC) has proven to be a helpful resource for the needs of this chapter. In fact, both organizations realized a huge win during the latest Kansas City Metro Public Works Equipment Expo. With vendors showcasing their latest pieces of equipment and demonstrations, JCCC was able to provide several short courses which received great reviews and provided a welding simu-lator to show those unfamiliar with welding a safe environment to weld in the virtual world. Not only did JCCC provide courses, it also assisted with a turnkey solution for registrations for the event at no cost to the chapter. It

was a true demonstration of our col-laborative efforts.

For quite a while members of the Kansas City Metro Chapter have recog-nized a need to host more meaningful training for public works operations employees. Those who work in the field every day become masters of their crafts, but they don’t always find courses made available that are in demand by both the operator or their supervisors. JCCC has been asked to assist the Kansas City Metro Chapter to determine the specific training needs and create an action plan for development and delivery.

Meetings between the chapter lead-ership, municipality operations employees and JCCC fettered out a list of courses that would be applicable to those in the field and beyond. The idea was to understand not only what was needed from a management per-spective but what was needed by the operations employees themselves. The

A


meetings held were very informative and the results truly reflective of a team wanting to ensure that success can be realized by all.

The resulting courses designed by JCCC culminate in a comprehensive program that brings to the forefront training that is designed and intended for the operations teams. Everything from Problem Solving, Mentorship, Civil Engineering Plan Reading, Proper Equipment Selection, and Advanced Equipment Operations will be provided in the program and, once completed, each student will receive a certificate of completion from the community college.

The great thing about collaboration is that each party brings to the table their capabilities, strengths and vari-ous levels of overall support that they can offer to the cause. The relation-ship between APWA, local member municipalities, and JCCC is no dif-ferent. They each have agreed to put forth what they can to the training project, including that participating municipalities will be allowing use of space for training and equipment to greatly offset the cost of training. JCCC is bringing forward high-quality program development with a course developer who has experience in the field. They will also be using instruc-tors with relevant experience; these will not be the sage-on-the-stage kind of programs and JCCC prides itself on using instructors from industry.

The training will take place through-out the Greater Kansas City region with multiple municipalities hosting

the training. The Kansas City Metro Chapter has been a huge leader in this program taking shape by bring-ing forth the idea that innovative training can still take place and by providing experts in the field to guide program development.

To ensure the public works employ-ees remain at the top of their game, the Kansas City Metro Chapter and Johnson County Community College will be launching their innovative

Operations Training Program this year. As we all know, continued training provides employees with opportunities to hone their skills and grow within an organization. This is just the beginning of the relationship that both organiza-tions believe will continue to grow as the industry recognizes the benefit of such relationships to educate the next generation of public works employees.

WASHINGTON INSIGHT


Water Week 2019 takes place the first week of April this year. And, as in years past, the goal is to bring the focus of Congress on

the need for greater investment in our nation’s water infrastructure. But when you think about water, EVERY week of the year should be water week. There is no more basic and important element in our everyday lives, and to go without safe drinking water, important waste-water services, and necessary stormwa-ter infrastructure is a recipe for disaster.

Water and wastewater infrastructure are very much “out of sight, out of mind.” No one thinks about either of them until there is a problem. You just assume you’ll get a clean glass of water when you turn on the tap, and that your toilet will flush properly when you push the handle. Yet few people think about the infrastructure that goes into making those things happen, along with the work done by public works professionals to operate and maintain that infrastructure.

Starting with the passage of the Clean Water Act (CWA) in 1972 to govern water pollution and the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) in 1974 to provide clean drinking water,

the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has had a role in helping com-munities across the nation meet federal standards. Through federal funding, technical assistance, and other resourc-es, the federal government has been a partner with states and local communi-ties in protecting public health and the environment.

In the years since the passage of CWA, SDWA, and amendments to these laws, Congress has provided financial support through a variety of federal programs. For example:

• Since 1988 Congress has provided $42 billion in federal capitalization grants to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) that have been turned into over $126 bil-lion in clean water infrastructure projects in communities across the nation;

• Following the 1996 Amendments to the SDWA, Congress demon-strated its commitment to safe drinking water and economic growth by providing about $19.1 billion to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program, resulting in $35.4 billion in assis-tance to water systems that have

supported roughly 13,800 drink-ing water improvement projects nationwide;

• EPA estimates that a $50 million Water Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act (WIFIA) appro-priation can be leveraged into $5 billion in low-interest federal loans and $10 billion in new water infra-structure projects.

And Congress has continually worked to improve these laws, as well as create new programs that help build and sus-tain our nation’s water infrastructure. The America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 that was signed by President Trump late last year contained several new programs. These programs will directly assist communities working to address challenges that are considered national water infrastructure priorities, such as lead pipe replacement, water workforce development, combined sewer overflows (CSO) and stormwa-ter infrastructure needs, and building resilient systems.

While there has been work done in previous years to strengthen federal programs, there is still much that can be done. The CWSRF has not been authorized for over a decade and

Every week is Water WeekSean Garcia, Government Affairs Manager, American Public Works Association, Washington, D.C.


while Congress continues to fund it, the funding has not kept pace with the demand. EPA estimated in the 2012 Clean Watersheds Needs Survey that there is a need for $271 billion in investment in wastewater infra-structure over the next 20 years. That estimate is now the better part of a decade old, and only considers main-taining current service levels, not the need for new treatment technologies and more users. That need is being met from a federal perspective with the $1.4 billion appropriation for the CWSRF. Clearly, more funding is needed to meet that need.

The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) was reauthorized last year and the funding numbers were increased to an authorized level of $1.3 billion for 2020. However, that amount is not nearly enough to meet the $472.6 billion in need for drinking water infrastructure EPA found for the next 20 years.

One of the goals of Water Week is to get practitioners in the water sec-tor engaged with their members of Congress to emphasize the need for additional federal resources. Funding is just one part of that puzzle. APWA, along with other water stakeholders, worked to pass legislation that would codify EPA’s Integrated Planning framework into law. This legislation will allow communities greater flexibil-ity in meeting their CWA obligations by allowing them to look at their water systems more holistically. This kind of legislation that allows communities greater control over their resources is important, and a key tenet of APWA’s advocacy priorities.

While Water Week 2019 only lasts a few days this year, it is important to make sure that the issue of water resources remains in the conversation with Con-gress throughout the year. Water Week 2019 is just the starting point.

n an age when every constituent wants to be com-municated with in a different manner, and attention spans seem to be on the wane, effective public outreach can feel daunting. This is especially true for small to mid-size entities that may not have a robust budget for

things like multi-media, public relations consultants, and big-budget events. In this article, I will give an example of one city’s highly successful event and lay out simple steps to help any entity of any size experience similar results.

There is a reason that Tonka Trucks have been among the most popular toys for almost 75 years; kids from 1 to 92 love big equipment and construction. People in general are fascinated with infrastructure, and the tools and methods used in its maintenance. Public works projects are routinely

among the most supported in voter polling. The question then is how to capitalize on this interest in an engaging and meaningful way. Here is the story of how the City of Mos-cow, Idaho, did just that.

Moscow is home to the University of Idaho, Idaho’s land-grant university. It is located in the central panhandle of the state, and is home to about 25,000 residents. For many years, the Public Works Department struggled to generate positive narratives in the community. There was no overt negativity, but rather a lack of awareness of public works, and the broad impact it has on their daily lives. The Department wanted to have an annual celebration of public works. We wanted it to be an event with a broad reach that would be a good external representation of the great work our people do every day.

5 TIPS FOR AN EFFECTIVE PUBLIC OUTREACH EVENT


There are many ways to approach an event and customiz-ing it to fit the target audience is critical. The following are components that can help any event get off the ground, and be successful:

1. Involve front-line staff in the planning process. By form-ing a steering committee largely populated by front-line staff, our employees see the event as a positive oppor-tunity to interact with our residents, rather than an unwanted chore. They get excited thinking about new ways to communicate the critical nature of their work to the people they serve.

2. Consider coinciding with an already established com-munity gathering. The City of Moscow has a popular ArtWalk event each June that brings thousands of residents downtown. While an art event may not seem like the most intuitive match for a public works event, with a little creativity, we have been able to present our

Public Works Fair at ArtWalk in a way that is congru-ent with, and mutually supportive of, the event. These steps include displaying our student-painted plows from each local school from our Paint the Plows program. We host an ArtWalk stop at the Public Works Administra-tion Building downtown featuring art created by public works employees and provide several youth-focused interactive displays.

3. Cooperate with local business to create a mechanism to encourage interaction. Nothing generates a crowd like food and drink. Moscow Public Works partners with local restaurants and breweries to help generate interest in the event. We use a passport system where partici-pants can visit booths for the different public works divisions, and get stamps for stopping by. They then use the passports for food and drink from local restaurants. We also have a stage with live, local music play on the far end of the Public Works Fair.

4. Kids are the key to the adults. We task each Division in the Department with creating an interactive display that is kid-friendly. We have been pleasantly surprised by the creativity and ingenuity of our staff. Each group has come up with fun ways to teach about what we do in an interactive manner. Fleet made a light and siren board that lets kids see what it takes to wire a police vehicle. Our CCTV sewer inspection unit always intrigues people. The Water Division displays a water service and meter. Utility Locate Services hosts competi-tions to see if participants can accurately locate a utility. The Streets Division uses water in a paint unit to allow kids to fill in stencils with the spray gun. Environmental Services has a variety of activities to show the impacts of erosion, importance of conservation, and several other programs. It is also good to consider some fun photo opportunities. Having equipment staged for pictures has also been highly popular. The asphalt roller, for some reason, is a perennial favorite. Safety vests, hardhats, and stop paddles also make great props for photos.

5. Creatively tell the public works story with your event. The co-location with ArtWalk in Moscow allows for creative public outreach. We have used a variety of art-related projects to highlight public works priorities. These have included water and stormwater-themed murals, decorative, informative signs at prominent xeri-

scape example gardens, and trench art displays. There is beauty in our work, and it is fun to help not only the public, but our own staff, see the beauty of the need-driven work we undertake.

With a very modest budget, Moscow has developed an effec-tive public works outreach event. It helps the public see the humanity in our work, put a face to our Department, and better understand the breadth of responsibilities covered by public works. Gone are the days when invisibility is our friend; we must actively tell our story in an effective manner. An annual public outreach event can be the cornerstone for building a relationship with the people we serve.

SPOTLIGHT ON CANADA

he posturing and politicking have already begun in the run up to two significant elections taking place in 2019. And both will have a significant impact on infra-

structure funding and priorities, as the parties discuss the best way to spend, or cut, hundreds of billions of dollars on public sector infrastructure.

The war out westThe only election in the first half of 2019 is in Alberta, where one-term Premier Rachel Notley’s New Demo-cratic Party (NDP) will look to stave off a strong challenge from the United

Conservative Party (UCP). The UCP are led by Jason Kenney, who held mul-tiple ministerial roles in Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet before resign-ing as an MP in September of 2016 to focus on provincial politics.

During the four years that the NDP have been in office, they have accom-plished a fair amount on the infrastruc-ture portfolio, especially in terms of megaproject development. They have provided financial support for multiple projects in the transportation, transit, health care, and water-wastewater sectors. However, the government has

come under fire for its level of support, not providing the level of financial support that is expected by munici-palities. We discussed this last year after Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson suggested a change was needed in the funding formula for new infra-structure projects, suggesting that the tri-government one-third split should instead be a 50-40-10 split, taking into consideration who has to pay for the operations and maintenance of the asset through its entire lifecycle. The most recent major project in Edmon-ton to receive government funding, the Yellowhead Trail Freeway Conversion Project, received just $241.6 million of the overall $1 billion from each of the provincial and federal governments.

On the infrastructure portfolio, the government has also found itself embroiled in controversy. In Septem-ber, the government terminated the contract of Graham Construction, who was the Construction Manager for the

$647.5-million Grande Prairie Regional Hospital. Graham has suggested that it could take legal action as a result of having its contract terminated.

Kenney’s infrastructure priorities had not been clearly stated by the time this report went to press, but it will be important to see whether his invest-ments focus on the big city priorities and renewable energy resources, as the NDP seem to now, or if he will take a different approach.

A second term for Trudeau?It has been a term of record investment in public sector infrastructure at the federal level, but thanks to decisions made in other strategic portfolios, that might not be enough to allow the Lib-eral government to return for a second term in office.

The Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) is making a strong push to reclaim power in Ottawa, and polling in the fall suggested Andrew Scheer’s

term may win a mandate on October 21. What that means for record levels of infrastructure spending is not quite clear, but it could mean that the Can-ada Infrastructure Bank will be short lived. The CPC has made it clear that they don’t believe the Bank is neces-sary, instead favouring the traditional public-private partnership model already in place for building infrastruc-ture megaprojects in Canada.

It’s worth keeping an eye on a few key current and future projects, and how those could impact voter support for the current government. The timing of the opening of the Champlain Bridge Corridor could impact the vote, as the opening will occur about four months out. Whether voters are more excited about its opening or the six-month delay that was incurred could sway the vote in either the CPC or Liberals’ favour. The same could be said for the proposed Northern Corridor. If the federal Liberals pursue moving the proposed $100-billion project forward, could that help push voters to support them in some rural ridings throughout the country?

The release of the CPC plan for infra-structure development will be the key development to watch for in the com-ing months.

The rest of CanadaThere are three additional provincial and territorial elections that will take place in 2019, all of which are set to occur over a two-day span in the heart of the federal campaign.

On October 7, voters in Prince Edward Island and the Northwest Territories (NWT) are set to elect new provin-cial and territorial leadership. In the NWT, there has been an uptick in transportation and fibre infrastructure built over the past term of office. That includes the completion of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk highway, approval of the Tlicho all-season road, and the installation of 4G wireless technology in every community.

In Prince Edward Island, Wade McLauchlan will look to secure a


second straight majority for the Liber-als, after capturing 18 of 27 seats in the 2015 election. Funding secured through the bilateral agreement with the federal government is helping to address some of the province’s infra-structure issues, but several communi-ties have been vocal about the need for more resources to rehabilitate and renew aging road, bridge, and cultural infrastructure.

The following day, on October 8, vot-ers in Newfoundland and Labrador are scheduled to head to the polls. Liberal Premier Dwight Ball is seek-ing a second majority mandate in the province, after his party captured 31 of 40 seats in the 2015 election. The party only had six seats leading into the campaign.

The cloud that still hangs over the province’s collective head is that of the Muskrat Falls Project, which now carries an overall project cost of $12.7 billion despite being originally bud-geted to cost $7.4 billion. The inquiry

into the project is set to deliver its final report by the end of 2019, which will provide insight into the cost increases, oversight, and the methodology behind the original selection of the project. How this issue will impact voter support for any party is not yet known, but if blame for the project overruns is assigned before the election takes place, it could play a major factor at the polls.

Will the minorities hold?We could also see two more provincial elections take place in 2019 depending on the stability of minority govern-ments at opposite ends of the country. In B.C., the NDP-Green minority has held fairly strong so far, but that could change with one controversial issue or a sudden by-election. And in New

Brunswick, both the Conservatives and the Liberals hoped to lead the minority government there, after the 22-21 result left the balance of power in the hands of the Green Party and the People’s Alliance (three seats each). Gallant was given the first chance to govern, but should he falter, and Conservative leader Blaine Higgs fail to produce stability, voters could quickly head back to the polls.

With hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure at stake, the 2019 elec-tion campaigns will be a determining factor in the level of investment and priorities for investment in infrastruc-ture for years to come.

New Brunswick and British Columbia both had shaky minority governments that could crumble in 2019.

staff alike will benefit from the Stanton Territorial Hospi-tal Renewal Project. The new facility is twice the size of the

existing hospital and is outfitted to reflect changing standards of service delivery. Care was also taken to reflect the indigenous cultures of the North-west Territories in its design.

The 26,000-square-metre hospital, for which a first patient day is scheduled for the end of May 2019, will have 100 single acute care in-patient rooms. As a territorial facility, it will deliver heath care for up to a population of 60,000 for the next three decades.

A


own private rooms, which is not the case at current Stanton. Single in-patient rooms lead to better health outcomes, a reduction in hospital infection control rates, a reduction in length of patient stay, and increased patient confidentiality and privacy,” said Gloria Badari, executive director of the Stanton Hospital renewal.

The old, 13,300-square-metre hospital was built in 1988 and has 67 acute care inpatient beds. “The existing hospital would be incapable of handling and providing for a diversity of clinical and diagnostic needs for [these] forecasted growth and population growth mod-els,” Badari says.

The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) selected Boreal Health Partnership as the P3 partner.

It is responsible for the financing, design, building, and maintenance of the new hospital.

The P3 model, according to the GNWT, reduced the project risk by guaran-teeing a fixed construction price, a guaranteed completion date, and the assumption of risks such as inflation in construction costs and weather-related delays to the contractor.

“Through the P3 approach, the GNWT is able to provide a more modern health care facility to NWT residents and Nunavut residents of the Kitik-meot region at an estimated savings of at least 20 percent when compared to delivering this project and operating this facility through traditional deliv-ery method,” Badari says.

The P3 choice also meant that the hospital would open nearly two years sooner than had a traditional procure-ment and construction method been used. It also comes with a 30-year maintenance warranty.

The Capital Project budget is $350 million, which includes $290 million for construction and $60 million for Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority costs. The total value of the contract with BHP is $751 million over the 35-year term of the contract. Thus, the annual service pay-ment that will be paid to BHP after the hospital goes into service, on average, will be $18 million per year.

The Bird-Clark Stanton Joint Venture (BCSJV) broke ground in October

2015. It completed the site clearing, rock blasting and the footing over the winter, and began erecting the struc-tural steel in April 2016. By the begin-ning of the 2016/17 winter season, the contractor was ready to begin finishing work inside the building.

The Stanton Renewal Project describes some of the challenges in carrying out a project of this scope in North-ern Canada. “Lead times and cost of shipping are significantly higher in the NWT. Part of the project was fast-tracked, and we started to build before completion of design; delivery dates versus required onsite dates needed to be closely managed to ensure adequate lead time. The more difficult challenge was scheduling of installers, replace-ment parts, and commissioning.”

While construction materials were sourced from across Canada, e.g., much of the plumbing installations were prefabricated in Ontario, local suppliers were used where available and commercially viable, the Stanton Renewal Project notes.

This investment in local businesses and labour as of September 2018 is valued at $55.5 million in local and northern labour, $30.3 million in services from local and northern suppliers, and $7.5 million in goods from local and north-ern suppliers.

Staff working at the hospital will enjoy many improvements over the old one, such as surgical booms, which support operating room equipment, mobile staff communication devices, clinical

cameras, and integrated bedside terminals, as well as a new nurse call and patient wandering systems. There will also be heightened access control measures and public Wi-Fi.

The new hospital also includes improvements such as a larger emer-gency department and intensive care unit, two more dialysis chairs, operat-ing rooms twice as large as in the old facility, and an in-patient rehabilita-tion gym, which the old facility did not have. A psychiatry unit will be able to better serve mental health clients. There will be more high-observation, airborne isolation, and high-acuity rooms throughout the hospital.

While the facility brings with it overdue updates to how health care is delivered, including an increased focus on ambulatory care, infection control and spatial standards, much attention was paid to the cultural and spiritual side of people in the region. Inside the hospital, for example, there will be sense-of-place themes that reflect the northern land and animals.

“The architects and designers at Kasian facilitated two engagement sessions with a panel of regional NWT represen-tatives to ensure the building accurate-ly reflected the cultural needs of our population. The first session in 2016 was to seek feedback on the proposed interior design of the building and the design of the therapeutic gardens. The panel offered recommendations based on their regional knowledge and cultural beliefs,” Badari explains.

One outcome is that each floor repre-sents a distinct Northern landscape, with a corresponding animal, e.g., Barren-lands and the Caribou on Level 0, Lakes

and the Arctic Char on Level 3, and Arctic and the Seal on Level 5.

“These recognizable symbols, colour schemes, focal images, and local artwork throughout the hospital will assist with patient navigation and ensure that Northerners feel connected to their home when visiting the new facility,” Badari says.

There will also be a therapeutic garden with a ceremonial fire pit, amphithe-ater, and playground for children with Northern flora and fauna.

SPOTLIGHT ON CANADA

t has been a rollercoaster year of freshwater extremes in Canada, with droughts and floods of historic proportions taking hold in turns across the country. Severe summer heat and drought condi-

tions hit the prairies this summer, and earlier in the year widespread flooding swept across the East Coast.

Conditions in British Columbia (B.C.) were particularly unstable. Spring flooding left entire communities under water and forced thousands to evacu-ate their homes in towns, cities, and First Nations communities across the province. Mere weeks after communi-ties dealt with flooding wreckage, the province flipped into summer drought, with more than 500 fires raging through dry forests. By mid-August, Eastern Vancouver Island was in Level 4 drought. Only 10 days later, the North-east, Northwest, Stikine, Skeena-Nass, and all of Vancouver Island reached this code-red drought level. The North-west remained in Level 4 drought into October—an unprecedented situation with troubling implications for salmon and watershed health.

The consequences of drought in B.C.—and across Canada—are wide-ranging. Warm water temperatures

put additional stress on salmon during their migration to spawn, fire-ravaged watersheds may not be reliable sources of clean drinking water, and the economic fallout from drought is also increasingly apparent. This summer, water shortages threatened operations at the Mount Milligan copper mine in central B.C. The Oil and Gas Commis-sion required industry to suspend all previously approved water diversions in several waterways within B.C.’s Peace and Liard River watersheds. Hot and dry conditions resulted in rising costs and production issues for farmers across the country. And in Vancouver Island’s Cowichan Lake area, volun-teers from the Lake Cowichan First Nation and local stewardship groups walked dry creek beds rescuing strand-ed fish fry.

As climate change takes hold, unpre-dictable and extreme conditions will be the new normal for Canada. We must ask then: How can we be better prepared to deal with the escalating freshwater challenges at our doorstep?

The new normalWater, water everywhere, then nowhere to be seen

Brandes, Associate Director, Centre for Global Studies, University of Victoria


water and ensure that ecosystems and communities are resilient in the face of increasing threats to water security.

In B.C., one important source of water sustainability and security tools is the Water Sustainability Act (WSA). While the Act provides a suite of different mechanisms to protect fresh water, most of these have yet to be deployed. As such, uncertainty persists around how the WSA’s sustainability and planning features will be triggered and used, how local communities can be involved, and how implementation will be supported and resourced.

Recent research from the POLIS Water Sustainability Project, based at the Uni-versity of Victoria’s Centre for Global Studies, highlights the ways in which the WSA can be leveraged to address freshwater issues, and how commu-nities and watershed entities can be involved. This includes, for example, protecting environmental flows in rivers and streams, and implementing region- or watershed-specific water sustainability plans.

Importantly, the provincial govern-ment cannot do it alone. Active roles must exist for Indigenous nations (such as government-to-government forums), communities, watershed entities, and water users to craft the necessary mix of solutions to address specific regional water issues. Ultimate-ly, the mix of mechanisms deployed will depend on the local context: the nature of the water/watershed problems, local history, economic development priorities, and the role of Indigenous laws and authority in their traditional territories.

Making history in Nicola ValleyBoth Canada and the B.C. provincial government have made strong com-mitments to reconciliation as part of their mandates (including implement-ing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Truth and Reconciliation Com-mission Calls to Action). Working in government-to-government forums with Indigenous nations on water-

shed sustainability and resilience is a critical aspect of reconciliation that is beginning to unfold in B.C. The Nicola watershed—which has experienced both spring flooding and extremely low summer flows in recent years—is a focal point of current government-to-government freshwater efforts in B.C.

On March 23, 2018, history was made when five Nicola First Nations and the Government of British Columbia co-signed a Nicola watershed pilot memo-randum of understanding (MOU). This innovative project will promote the co-leadership of water resources by the Province and the Nicola First Nations with an overarching goal of sustainable management and improved health of the Nicola watershed.

The MOU sets out the parties’ shared commitment to work together in part-nership to address watershed issues, with agreement that watershed plan-ning, decision-making, and manage-ment must be informed by Indigenous knowledge and best available science, and shaped by Indigenous laws and the WSA.

While the Nicola example is a promis-ing step, more is needed. Many other watersheds are facing urgent water issues, and without political leadership and resources for government staff, Indigenous nations, and local commu-nities to be involved, further progress will be limited.

Moving forwardWhile B.C. is now equipped with a modern provincial water law, the same cannot be said about the situation federally. Most of Canada’s federal

laws and policies date back to the 1980s. Modernizing federal legislation, with a stronger and more coordinated federal role in freshwater management and gov-ernance, is a necessary step forward if we are to successfully meet the water chal-lenges and realities of the 21st century.

Moving from today’s status quo to a more robust and sustainable system will require significant effort, but the urgency is clear. Major droughts and floods are no longer surprise, once-in-a-decade events. These extremes will be a regular part of our collective future. Using the best tools available to help communities prepare for and adapt to this new reality must be a priority for Canada—from coast to coast to coast.

No one silver bullet solution exists, but rather a suite of approaches is needed: implementing drought and climate resiliency strategies that protect water for nature; better integration of water and land use; and embracing water conservation as an overarching objec-tive, with adequate water pricing and monitoring. Overall, many sources of authority and expertise, as well as creativity and innovation—both Indig-enous and non-Indigenous—will be needed to create a resilient and sustain-able water future in this country.

MEDIA INSIGHT

What is your website saying about you?

Emily Dowsett, Government Affairs Media Manager, American Public Works Association, Washington, D.C.

ftentimes, if a person is not familiar with your organization, their first impression of you will come from your website. They will likely head to Google, type in your organization’s name, and click on the first link that comes up. Since you aren’t there in

person to represent your organization, you need to ensure that your website conveys everything you believe that per-son might like to know. I am in no way claiming to be a tech wizard, or a web guru, but I do know branding and public relations, and your website is paramount for both. Here I will detail a few website fundamentals that will ensure your home on the web is helping you put your best foot forward.

The first thing that someone is going to notice when they look at your webpage is the design, or lack thereof. Does it look professional? Clean? Smart? A great website design conveys that you care about how you look, that you notice details, you put time and effort into your work. Conversely, a poor website design can convey that you don’t care about your image, you don’t bother with details, and you don’t put the necessary time and effort into jobs. We all know public works professionals care SO much about the community, and SO much about the important work they do, so your website needs to really show that!

Next, no organization’s website should be without an “About Us” section. This is where you clearly explain who you are, and what you do. “We are the Smallville Depart-ment of Public Works, an agency made up of 25 dedicated professionals. Our operations include….” You could even use this space to include some staff head shots and short bios so that you put some faces to the team. This section is your opportunity to explain all of the services you are responsible for providing day in and day out, which help ensure your community’s quality of life.

Now that we’ve got the “About Us” section out of the way, the next thing on the checklist is to ensure that your website is easy to navigate. Now that the user knows who you are, and what your agency is responsible for, are they easily able to figure out where they need to click next to accomplish the task they came to the site for? Maybe this visitor is looking for the best way to make you aware of a growing pothole in their neighborhood, or wants to report a streetlight outage, or a sewer emergency. Can they easily find the area where they would make a service request, or report a problem? A great way to do this, is a “Quick Links” section on your home page, where you can bullet a list of common rea-sons for which people visit your site, such as “Pay My Bill,” “Report a Pothole” or “Schedule Recycling or Solid Waste

O


Pickup.” If you link each of these items, site users are immediately taken to the appropri-ate page and don’t spend unnecessary time searching in all the nooks and crannies of the site for the right information.

Another great idea for any public works site is a “News” section. You can post articles from media outlets where your agency is featured, or ones that you’ve written, perhaps highlight-ing the detours that will be coming to your community in coming days, or reminding resi-dents of things such as to clear their sidewalks. The options here are endless! Ultimately, this section is a great way to inform your commu-nity about what is going on, why it’s happen-ing, and how they may be impacted.

Does your site have a calendar showing upcoming meet-ings and events? A calendar is a great way to publicize the transportation planning meeting this Tuesday where you will be seeking public input, or the touch-a-truck event next weekend at the community center. Anything that you want the public to be aware of, or to attend, be sure to put it on the calendar. It’s even better if each event is a hyperlink that goes to a page with additional details including time and location.

Now I know I already talked about a latest news section, but on a related, yet different note, a good website will also have a “Media” page. This page is a great place to house press releases your department has put out, fact sheets about your opera-tion and community, and a media contact. Your organization may have a dedicated communications or media person, or your media contact could be the Director themselves, but whoever it is, their phone number and e-mail address must be prominently listed. If a member of the media is trying to reach your department for a comment on an urgent matter, you want them to be able to reach someone who is able to speak on behalf of the organization ASAP. You don’t want to miss an opportunity to comment on a public matter because the reporter couldn’t find the right person to contact and instead your point of view, or insight, is left out of the article completely, or characterized incorrectly.

While the media may be looking for a media specific con-tact, members of the community may be trying to reach your organization with general inquiries. Be sure to have a visible section that lists both a phone number and an e-mail address for the public. This is also a great area to include links to your Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. Once again, this section is so important for website user-experience. I’m sure we have all had a time where we got frustrated when we were on a company’s website simply trying to find a phone number, but there isn’t one to be found. You don’t want that to be your page!

If you’ve read any of my other “Media Insight” columns, you know how I like to promote the use of pictures of public works professionals in action, and your website is a perfect way to showcase them. Having pictures on your website really brings life to the page, and shows the human ele-ment of public works. You can include pictures of your team in action clearing the roads during a winter storm, doing renovations on a local bridge, or interacting with commu-nity members, etc. It’s a win-win because you get to show the friendly faces of your organization, and also show all the great work you are doing for the community. Not to men-tion, now your page looks a lot more interesting, and isn’t solely text.

There are of course plenty more sections, and features which you can include on your website; however, the ones listed above are all ones I consider “must-haves.” If you’re search-ing for inspiration, or additional ideas of what else you can include, I suggest you look to your peers. Your neighbor-ing DPW may have some features on their site that hadn’t crossed your mind, that you could now turn around and include on yours.

Finally, I encourage you to check your site regularly to ensure all links are working, and that everything posted is timely, and accurate. Always remember, your website is representa-tive of your organization, and truly speaks on your behalf. What do you want it to say?

OPEN YOUR WINTER TOOLBOX

ealing with a regular winter storm poses challenges enough for an agency, but what should you do when the weather throws you a curve ball in the

form of a truly horrendous winter storm? This winter has included a range of interesting weather, including extreme cold, snow in Las Vegas, and a seemingly endless progression of storms across the country. Not all of these could be con-sidered normal, and these abnormalities can severely tax an agency’s capabilities.

I am not going to try and say what those curve balls might be for you, because every part of the country has its own severe and abnormal winter weather. Where I live in Iowa, our nightmare is an ice storm that puts

an inch of ice on everything, but the three-inch snow that we treat as busi-ness as normal where I live is far from normal for Las Vegas or Atlanta!

But whatever your curve ball might be, you still have to have plans in place to deal with it, and that is the focus of this toolbox. What can you do to help your agency and your community deal with seriously bad winter weather?

Hopefully by this time your agency has a well-developed winter maintenance plan in place, with clearly defined levels of service. But that well-defined plan needs to include some verbiage that helps everybody when faced with winter apocalypse. For example, when you state that your goal on your priority-one streets (for example) is to

D


have them free of snow and ice within 24 hours after the end of a storm, you may want to include some language indicating that severe weather may preclude you reaching that level of service within that time frame.

An example of this can be found in the City of West Des Moines Snow and Ice Control Man-ual, which is available online at http://www.wdm.iowa.gov/home/showdocument?id=9693. In the manual it has a statement:

This Manual may be affected by at least one or more of the following events which could delay or alter snow and ice control by the City:

And one of the events listed is:

Weather so severe as to cause work to be stopped for the safety of all personnel.

This ensures that you are not going to find yourself in a situation where you feel compelled to send employees out to work even though you are less than happy about how safe they might be while out there. And while that is very important, it is not enough simply to put something like this in your man-ual. If the weather is extremely severe, your community needs to know that you will not be able to provide normal levels of service.

That means that you should have a plan in place to get the word out if your forecast indicates extremely severe weather is on the way. You will need to communicate with a number of different groups of people. The start-ing point is probably your agency. If the situation over the next few days is going to be particularly challeng-ing, you need to make sure everybody knows that. In particular, if there are

special plans in place you need to let your folks know that these plans are being implemented. I know of agencies that in cases of very severe weather get plow operators rooms in a nearby hotel for the storm duration, so that nobody gets stuck coming from or going to their homes. You may have other similar steps in place, but they will not work if nobody knows about them.

You will need to inform your elected officials. They need to know that a severe event is heading their way and that you have steps in place to deal with it. It is to be hoped that those steps will not be a complete surprise for them, but they could probably use a refresher anyway!

You will need to coordinate with emer-gency services. This means having a plan for dealing with crashes as well as a plan for dealing with other emergencies (e.g., getting fire engines to a fire loca-tion, or ambulances to a medical emer-gency) which may require your trucks as “escorts” due to the severe weather.

You will definitely need to coordinate with the media. It is to be hoped that you already have some good links with them, but in a severe weather situation

you should be providing them with as much and as current information as you can. This might require you doing briefings every six hours during the event, as an example, as well as being ready to address other concerns on an ad hoc basis. But they are one of the best ways to get information out to the final group of people you need to keep informed, and that is the public.

While many in your community will get their information through the media, many (especially today) will not which means you have to get informa-tion out in other ways. These include using social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter (but that means you will need to have those accounts up and running ahead of time) and providing the latest information on your web pages. And while the infor-mation you may have to share with the public is not necessarily going to be good news, they will in general much prefer to have that information than to be surprised by the bad news in other ways. So, make sure they know!

This shows the road conditions in Iowa on the morning of February 25, 2019. As you can see, the northwest part of the state has some bad weather issues, but people would much rather know about these things (especially if they were planning on traveling to that part of the state) than learn about them on the road.


PW TECH MANAGEMENT: LEADERSHIP IN NEW TECHNOLOGY

he term Computerized Main-tenance Management System (CMMS) is known throughout the public works industry by a variety of names. Sometimes it

is called a work order system, or just referred to by the name of the software itself. As a CMMS becomes engrained into municipal operations, acronyms and short forms for the system are adopted by its users, and sometimes not-so-complimentary names for the CMMS become the norm, a sure sign that the CMMS is not successfully func-tioning. Based on direct experience, here are a few CMMS notions that may help ensure the system is an effective operative and capital planning tool for all users, not a costly, wasteful work order system, as many end up being.

A wide variety of sophistication levels and abilities are offered in comput-erized maintenance management systems. Basic functions of a computer-ized maintenance management system often include asset maintenance records, cost tracking associated with equipment, labor and materials, man-

agement of work orders and inventory control. In some of the more advanced applications, and when properly employed, computerized maintenance management systems have the abil-ity to provide coordination between multiple areas of services, schedule preventive maintenance tasks, assist in annual budgeting, define and integrate workflows, geo-reference work order history, provide advanced report-ing and analytics, administer asset management parameters (condition, likelihood of failure, consequence of failure, risk score, asset life) and provide instructional reference for quality, environmental and safety consistency. Some CMMSs can now process a level of data analytics to allow staff the opportunity to trend opera-tional data, provide support data for budget requests and harness available data to support the need for additional resource allocations.

When assessing, implementing or upgrading a computerized mainte-nance management system, it is critical to establish stakeholder groups within

the organization, which often reach far beyond the divisions of the public works department. This step is impor-tant since all stakeholders define the end success of a CMMS implementa-tion, and often departments and users are overlooked when first defining the objectives of establishing a CMMS into a municipality. Specifically, demon-strating value to and having the full engagement of the line department or “boots on the ground” staff first and foremost is key to the success of a CMMS. This will require the illustra-tion of value with one of the groups early in the process. When deployment is done in smaller iterations, this step can serve as a reference in quality and content, and as an example of what other divisions can expect when the application is successfully deployed.

Engaged stakeholders can assist in developing the gap analysis, identi-fying pertinent data to collect and desired efficiencies, which builds ownership and support for the project moving forward. It is important that a diverse cross-section of the organiza-

tion and department be consulted to gain input and “buy-in” at all levels. In addition, this also allows a sharing of desired goals: management can rein-force corporate initiatives with field staff, and field staff can convey to man-agement what is needed from a CMMS at the front line. That said, CMMS implementations can quickly spiral into a long list of functional require-ments that are not realistic, especially not in the short term. Functionality in terms of existing software applications, is essentially unlimited. However, resources required to implement and support this additional functionality within the municipality, are not.

This strategy of stakeholder involve-ment facilitates the beginning of orga-nizations transitioning to continual improvement. As part of consulting with stakeholders, the discussion of data collection is crucial. A few important questions surrounding this challenge are provided below, to ensure

these discussions are had before such significant CMMS decisions are made.

• What type of information to col-lect, and for what purpose? How will the data be used?

• How will we collect the data? Will we be enabling staff to work remotely?

• What is our service level? Are we collecting enough information to determine this?

• What will happen to the legacy data? How far back do we want to transition work order history? What is the quality, maturity and confidence in existing data?

• Do we need to enter FEMA labor and equipment rates?

• Who will have authorities within the CMMS? E.g., the authority to close out work orders.

• What type of reports will we need? Every level of management and department may differ.

• What type of training will we need? Will there be different versions, based on different job functions? Will there be follow-up training?

• Who will provide system mainte-nance (adding/removing employ-ees, work order template main-tenance, training coordination, etc.)?

• Are there any organizational policies that we need to update or create?

• Are there health, safety, environ-mental, quality, legislative proto-cols that should be referenced?

• How will this system integrate with other municipal systems already in place?

For new implementations, the intro-duction of a CMMS will invariably encounter resistance by some staff groups. A smart approach is to iden-

tify these areas of resistance early on, and address these challenges through focused communication, especially of benefits offered with the effective use of the new tool.

Figures 1, 2 and 3 at right, demonstrate the notable transition from a paper process to computerized maintenance management system for daily lift sta-tion inspections.

As part of the data collection stage, goals and functions of reporting may become a discussion point that continues to evolve. Initially, the reporting side is often structured around performance management, budgeting, and inventory. As system users become comfortable and famil-iar with the CMMS, alternate ways to utilize the software and all its offerings can be realized. Figure 4 shows work-flows developed through a CMMS, to enhance operational procedures for a public works division performing right-of-way tree trimming inspec-tion activities. These workflows can be established for all functions.

A final note when considering CMMS tips: In a recent natural disaster, one municipality assigned a project number and name to any related work orders for that storm event. This small effort of tagging records to the storm event resulted in large payback—fruitful, prompt reports on service requests and work orders that occurred during that natural disaster were easily generated. Although it may appear to be a minor detail to establish consistency in cat-egorizing or tagging records, when the CMMS houses such vast information, this relation of specific response and activities can become critical, especially in times of urgency and fast decisions. Powerful data such as labor efforts, equipment use, geo references, photo-graphs, field observations and measure-ments from all departments, specific to an emergency event, is invaluable record-keeping well into the future. As this one municipality learned, this documentation became critical when submitting to FEMA for reimbursements after the natural disaster.

In closing, establishing a comprehen-sive and effective implementation plan will ease the transition, allow for an effective and successful CMMS and save implementation dollars. Resources invested in creating, vetting and launching a robust plan, includ-ing clearly defined objectives of what

success looks like, is well worth the up-front effort.

rom roads that monitor their own wear and tear, to streetlights that know when they need to dim and brighten, infrastructure is quickly finding its voice—and telling asset managers some very interesting stories.

Playgrounds are no different. One of the options available to park managers looking to smarten up their assets comes from Canadian company Biba, which uses free smartphone apps to combine digital and physical play in an imaginative and active way for families.

Although the games work on any playground, the installa-tion of small augmented reality markers scanned with the smartphone during play unlocks the app’s full capabilities, providing a greater range of games, rewards, and scenarios.

Most Biba playgrounds are found in North America, but Australasia has also dipped a toe into the smart playground trend. Selwyn Council became the first in New Zealand to trial the technology, and Australia’s first smart Biba play-ground was installed in the City of Wanneroo’s Kinkuna Park in March 2018.

The playground picked up the National Growth Areas Alli-ance “Creating value through growth” award in November, which recognised its ability to “help parents reorient kids’ screen fixation to the outdoors.”

This month, the City of Marion in Adelaide will be the home of three new Biba playgrounds in Seaview Downs, Trott Park and Morphettville.

How it worksRealizing that technology isn’t going anywhere and that kids are getting screens in front of them at younger and younger ages, the app’s developers wanted to motivate kids to get moving outdoors and help parents balance screen time, activity time and family time.

The technology features smartphone-based games that encourage kids to utilize existing playground equipment and their imagination to complete tasks. Challenges range from collecting imaginary characters (Biblets) from around the playground, to using equipment as a grand prix race course. Parents are instructed to hold the phone at all times, which the company says removes the risk of a cracked smart-phone screen while also creating an opportunity for parents to engage with their kids during play, encouraging them to take risks in the playground.

The company hopes the app will encourage “screen obsessed” kids to become more active and form more posi-tive relationships with technology.

Diving into dataAside from helping address kids’ increasingly sedentary lifestyles, Biba CEO Matt Toner says the Kinkuna Park instal-

lation is a good example of the app’s other major offering: data insights.

The app collects a range of anonymised usage data (abiding by strict international privacy standards), which can give park managers insights into peak usage days and times, the most popular playground equipment and how vigorously kids are exercising. By bringing in external data sources such as weather, traffic reports and demography, park managers can even see how these factors impact playground usage—which could lead to insights such as the need for increased shade structures if playground usage plummets during hot summer days.

“Kinkuna Park is a really good example of Biba’s ability to show community fitness metric trends. The first data col-lected indicated that the playground was ranked roughly in the 50th percentile worldwide for the amount of physical activity of the kids at the playground,” Toner explains.

“If they’re in the 50th percentile of moderate to vigorous activity, it’ll tell you that kids at that playground aren’t get-ting the most moderate physical activity, which may reflect the playground design, or of the community at large.

“Over time we saw that number skyrocket. From March until October, their moderate and vigorous physical activity levels increased to the 75th percentile.”

Toner says the uptick in activity levels was due to the coun-cil’s promotion of the smart playground and evidences the community’s growing adoption of the technology, leading to increased community usage.

The smart playgrounds can even show park managers the ROI on newly installed equipment.

“One of our largest clients is Phoenix, Arizona where it’s very hot and very sunny. We’ve been able to measure the ROI on a sunshade installation by using Biba data-driven insights and intelligence,” Toner says.

“A lot of these structures have gone up and then nobody asks any questions. But to have an insight into utilization is absolutely critical to assess the value of anything.”

Not a silver bullet for park managersBrian Milne, Director of parks consultants Xyst, says that new technology and apps that promote increased recreation and physical activity are a great development.

“Collection of usage of information is also something of great value as parks managers are generally lacking this information,” Milne says.

However, as with most options currently available, there are limitations on the ability to provide a reliable answer to total usage. So, although smart playgrounds will give some indi-cation of usage trends, it may not be the whole picture.

“The problem with the usage data is that it’s not going to give you a complete picture and the ability to report the total

visitors to the playground—if it only records playground users that use the app, how reliable is that as an indicator?” he says.

Milne says it can be tricky digitally capturing usage data for playgrounds compared to toilet blocks or bushwalking tracks, which have clear entry points that a sensor can be attached to.

Although it’s more time consuming and relatively expen-sive, he says there may be the option of combining digi-tally collected information with manually counting users through sample observation studies. This will enable a rea-sonably reliable extrapolation of total usage to be calculated based on the percentage using the digital apps versus total playground usage over a given time period.

Biba is currently working with the RAND Corporation, a large American research and development think tank, to refine and augment Biba’s data science.

“Incorporating proven and accepted park sampling meth-odologies into Biba’s data model will convert Biba into a powerful sampling tool that can make accurate predictions about the totality of play at any playground in your city,” Toner says.

ver the past three years, the City of Green Bay has incorpo-rated the “Health 1265” pro-gram as a way for employees to become engaged in wellness

and lower their health insurance pre-miums. The number “1265” isn’t just some random number. A well-known staple of our community, Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers, sits at 1265 Lombardi Ave. The Health 1265 program offers employees the opportunity to lower their employee portion of their health insurance from 15 to 11.5 percent based on achieving certain criteria throughout the year.

This program offers incentives for par-ticipating in a health risk assessment, annual physical and dental cleanings. Additionally, speakers give presenta-

tions on topics that offer resources and guidance to improve lifestyles, such as nutrition, mental health, finance, chronic pain, etc. By attend-ing these sessions, employees are awarded points. Additionally, points are earned for volunteering, getting a flu shot, participating in a community event like a 5k, and completing at least eight 30-minute workouts per month. Employees can also wear a fitness device (like a Fitbit, Garmin, or Apple Watch) and earn points based on their daily activity. When an employee reaches 1,265 points, their insurance for the next year is reduced. There are also additional incentives, like a $50 Amazon card, built into challenges to encourage employees to earn addi-tional points. A win every way you look at it!

Over the past few years, I envisioned a fitness facility to help our employees improve their health. We were offering employees an opportunity to reduce insurance by maintaining and improv-ing fitness, but to be able to provide a place to do it would take the program to the next level. We had an under-uti-lized storage room that was ultimately just a place to put items that had nowhere else to go. We went through the room, tossed the junk, organized the other items in a different location, and removed the shelving. The walls were full of dust and dirt. We pressure-washed the walls, painted them white, and replaced old halogen lights with new LED lights. For about three years that was as far as it went. The room sat and, while the vision was there, making it happen was delayed. Having

been a police officer for 10 years prior to switching to public works, I knew the police department had a great weight and cardio room. I reached out to my former colleagues to take any old equipment off their hands. This turned into a working relationship that benefited both of us.

The Green Bay Packers and the local YMCAs routinely donate their old or replaced equipment to local law enforcement and fire departments. While the police department got equip-ment from the YMCA, transporting the heavy equipment was an issue for them. However, Green Bay DPW had the equipment and a means of loading, transporting and unloading. We would meet the officers at the YMCA, load up and transport to the PD gym, and in turn, got their old equipment. We received a treadmill and Cybex weight machines from the YMCA. In addition, weights, elliptical machines, station-ary bikes, and other weight machines came from the police department. In a matter of six months, it went from an empty room to a real fitness facility. As the equipment continued to be brought in, we decided this room needed an identity, to make it a “Public Works” gym. A thick orange line was painted, and our sign shop made stencils of the motto, “First to Respond, Last to Leave.” Additionally, our sign shop was tasked with making several construction/street

signs with various motivational sayings. The painted thick orange line and the signs personalized the room.

We worked with Human Resources to develop a user agreement and waiver. Employees can use the fitness room anytime in which they aren’t being compensated. The use of the fitness room is of their own free will and there is no charge. All of the equipment in the room was donated and is main-tained by our staff or professionals if necessary. We accept donations from employees like equipment, stereo, money for improvements or equip-ment repairs, but this is not a require-ment to use the fitness room.

Our goal is to provide our employees an opportunity to have a place to work on their health and fitness, build friend-ships and camaraderie with coworkers, and for them to feel good about them-selves; it has all come together.

This fitness room has gone from a vision to a reality. It has taken time and proves that things don’t just happen overnight. Persistence made this vision a reality.

hile planning for the fiscal year of 2017-2018, the Landscaping & Grounds Maintenance Division of Cumberland County was tasked with installing some outdoor steps at a Department of Social Services facility home

that houses specific families from within the community. The need for the project was brought about because the children who were residing at the home needed a safer way to traverse up and down a slope from the rear of the home where the playground was located. This project provided a fantastic opportunity for our public works office to not only enhance the grounds of this facility for the community but also to give something back to the citizens that they could utilize on a daily basis.

Over the course of my career in landscaping, I have come across numerous sets of outdoor step projects that have fallen short of aesthetic appeal as well as ones that have system-atically failed over shorter periods of time due to improper design. This is a typical outcome when shortcuts have been taken with regards to the overall structure of the steps and improper planning for drainage. This step project had to cover a fairly long distance on the slope so it was imperative that its design would be capable of providing a certain level of sustainability in the years to come. It is worth mentioning here that whether this project was done correctly or incor-rectly, it would certainly provide a lasting impression on the citizens. A poor design would cause the outdoor steps to fail and possibly open the door for some unwelcomed criticism by the residents, but a good design would warrant gratitude for

a job well done as well as provide a longer lasting set of steps. Take the following pointers under consideration and you will greatly improve the quality of your landscaping projects.

Lesson #1: Do not take shortcuts that will compromise struc-ture and sustainability.

Lesson #2: Do the job right the first time! This saves you both time and money in the future.

When beginning a project such as this, it is essential to con-sider the terrain for where the steps will be installed. Some slopes are steeper than others and will require a different approach when planning the project. It is also important to consider what the purpose of the steps will be and whether aesthetics will matter as much as functionality. Sometimes, one may slightly exceed the other, but as a rule of thumb, aesthetics are just as important as functionality when it comes to landscaping.

For this project, we decided to install timber landscape steps. They provide a natural look that is aesthetically pleasing and are also cost effective. We used 6”x6” timbers that were pressure-treated for ground contact. One of the most common reasons that timber landscape steps fail or do not last is because the timber used for the project was not treated for ground contact. So, make sure if you decide on installing timbers that they are specifically treated for ground contact. In addition, if a cut is made on the timbers during the construction of the steps, it should be sealed with a waterproof stain.

Outdoor step project and effectively managing budgetsJesse Barton, Landscaping Supervisor, Landscaping & Grounds Maintenance Division, Cumberland County, North Carolina


Next, map out the general area of where you envision the steps will be installed. Take into consideration the desired width of the steps, 6’ in this case, and then mark the perim-eters with wood stakes. Tie off a string between the stakes until you cover the entire length of the steps from the bot-tom of the slope to the top on each side. Measurements then need to be taken that will determine the rise and the run of the slope. In a perfect world, once these measurements are recorded, they will help calculate the exact amount of material you will need and the exact placement of each step. However, this is not a perfect world and more times than not, you will need to adjust your measurements for the steps during the installation.

Once the stakes and string line were in place, the drainage plan for the steps needed to be evaluated. Any outdoor step project requires sufficient drainage to be installed that will divert water away from its foundation. A drainage ditch was installed on each side of the steps that ran parallel with each other from the top of the slope to the bottom. Staff trenched down the perimeter of each side of the steps, installed a 4” base layer of #57 stone, set 4” perforated corrugated pipe wrapped with a permeable landscaping fabric on top of the base rock, and then covered the pipe with another 8”-12” of rock. After that, they covered the top 2”-4” with soil and sod. It is important to note here that as staff transitioned down the slope with the drainage pipe they reached the root zone from the existing wood line. For this reason, they switched to solid PVC pipe through this area in order to minimize potentially damaging the integrity of the drainage system from root penetration.

Once the upper sections of drainage were completed, they began at the bottom of the slope installing the first step. Important: When installing steps, always start at the bot-tom of a slope and work your way up. Prior to the installa-tion of the actual steps, each step was pre-built offsite and then hauled to the work site. This minimized downtime and allowed for a more effective way to manage man-hours. Each step was reinforced with angle brackets to provide additional support. The dimensions used to build the steps ranged from 6’x 4’ to 6’x 6’. These dimensions varied due to the rate of change that occurred throughout the rise/run of the slope. A general rule to follow when building steps is to use a consis-tent length or “run” for at least five consecutive steps before switching to match a steeper or lesser slope. This minimizes trips and falls and also helps the users of the steps adjust accordingly to the slope within a sufficient amount of time before the next change occurs.

As a side note, while trenching the drainage channels for the steps, two downspouts that had some failed corrugated pipe buried underground to divert water away from the home towards the wood line were replaced and then tied into the drainage pipe for the steps.

The first timber step of the project was installed below grade. It was checked to make sure it was level and then secured into place with four 30” pieces of 3/8” rebar. Next, a step was installed directly on top and then securely fastened to the one below it with four 12” wood screws as well as two addi-tional 30” pieces of 3/8” rebar. By doubling the first step, this provided the base of steps with some additional support

that would prevent them from shifting. Spacing had to be predetermined with a tape measure and pencil markings in order to not directly overlap the underlying pieces of rebar. After the initial step was in place, step installments contin-ued up the slope until a change was needed in the run of the steps to compensate for steeper areas of the slope. Every hole for each step was pre-drilled to reduce the chances of splitting the timbers for both the rebar and the screws. Each step received at least two pieces of rebar along with four 12” wood screws.

After the first five steps were securely in place, the drain-age was completed at the bottom of the slope and an exit drain was installed near the wood line. Some of the trees in the wood line were removed so that additional loads of dirt could be brought in to expand the outside areas of the steps where sod was going to be installed. As each step was set into place, staff also excavated any dirt that was confined within the steps themselves. The dirt was shoveled out until the bottom of each timber step was reached and then backfilled with drainage rock. The rock was packed in with a hand tamp until there was a 3” clearance to the top of the timbers. This additional space was left open to compensate for a top layer of permeable sand mixture that was later added on top of the rock. The sand mixture provided the steps with a more finished look as well as a friendlier surface to walk upon.

After the top layer of sand mixture was in place, a rail system was installed to provide support and promote safety for

anyone attempting to utilize the steps. A metal rail system as opposed to a wooden one was chosen for this project in order to minimize the risk of the children acquiring splin-ters while going up and down the steps. Dirt was also added to the steeper areas surrounding the steps to provide more stability for the posts that were installed. To provide a nice finish to the project, staff also installed solar post caps that would light the path during the evening hours.

The outdoor step project was finished on time and under budget, and because of this it afforded the staff more time to also install some much-needed drainage around the home itself. The front of the home sits on a negative slope and has been plagued with drainage issues for a number of years. A negative slope can cause significant water damage to any building or landscape because it means there is water flow-ing towards the building instead of away from it.

French drains were installed in the front of the house as well as a bed of riprap rock to slow the flow of surface water

running down the hill during rain storms. The drains were trenched with a backhoe in order to provide a large capac-ity channel that would carry away any excess water that remained in the front lot. Staff also tied in the downspouts along the front side of the house underground with the new drainage system. An exit drain was installed that terminated near the wood line at the rear of the house down the hill. After the installation of the French drains, the lot was then regraded in order to provide a 1% drop in slope away from the house towards the new French drain system.

The most rewarding aspect of this project was that the Land-scaping & Grounds Maintenance Division was able to finish the job under budget and on time which allowed them to use the same funds that were allocated solely for the step project to also address some of the other problems at the property. As you can see from the last few pictures that show the finished product, there was quite a bit of transformation which ultimately led to a satisfied group of citizens as well as county employees.

Jeffery P. Brown, P.E., Director of the County Engineering & Infrastructure Department, said that “the steps turned out better than I could have ever imagined.”

Kim Barefoot, Operations Manager at the County Depart-ment of Social Services, wrote the following in an e-mail: “Went out to Bacote house this morning. The work that

you all did out there is simply outstanding. It is clear how much work and effort were put into this project. The sod and drainage look great but the steps down to the bottom of the lot far exceed what I ever thought it would look like!!! Please share with your crew what a great job they did and let them know their hard work is so appreciated.”

The staff also received numerous compliments from the people who were residing at this location along with the employees who worked there on a daily basis.

Please remember that when trying to improve the grounds at any facility that is owned by the public, the impact can be far reaching. Improvements to the quality of life for the community should always be the number one goal for any public works organization. The staff was proud to have been part of this project and is continuously looking forward to their next opportunity whether it is a simple day of routine grounds maintenance or another project such as this. Since the installation was completed, the drainage at this facility has dramatically improved and was witnessed by staff during the arrival of Hurricane Florence to Cumberland County in the fall of 2018. The outdoor timber steps are still in place and the drainage is functioning exactly the way it was designed to.

he City of Rehoboth Beach, located along the coast of Sussex County, Delaware, is a premier beach destination for Delawareans and residents of

surrounding states such as Maryland, D.C., Pennsylvania, and Virginia. With only 1,500 full-time residents, Rehoboth Beach is small. However, during the summer season, the city’s 1.6 square miles will accommodate as many as 50,000 visitors. The city’s designation as “The Nation’s Summer Capital” speaks to its growing popular-ity for its clean beach, wooden board-

walk, bandstand venue, and special events. However, one of the things that hindered the city’s ability to grow and adapt with its increasing popularity was the city’s Municipal Complex.

The original building, constructed in 1964, was built as a city hall, police station, library, and convention center. At the time, staffing was minimal, and technology wasn’t as critical as today. To accommodate growing needs, the building underwent several renova-tions through the years including adding additional meeting rooms, restroom facilities, a kitchenette, and a

storage room. When the library moved from the building in the late 1980s the police department expanded into the library’s former space. This additional space bought time; however, it became increasingly clear that the building’s inadequacies had to be addressed. The building lacked most modern safety features and systems. While some technology had been introduced there was no integration of the various sys-tems. Important police functions were housed in the poorly ventilated moldy basement and they were using closets for evidence storage. Some accommo-dation had been made, but the city hall and police station were largely inacces-sible to handicapped individuals.

In 2011, a City Hall Task Force was created to study the City’s operational needs and make recommendations on a new facility. The Task Force, a

14-member group, included two archi-tects, a member of the local business community, a local accountant/finan-cial advisor, the Mayor, City Commis-sioners, City Manager, Police Chief, and Chief Building Inspector. The City hired the construction management firm EDiS, and architects Davis, Bowen & Friedel, Inc. (DBF), to work with the Task Force during plan development. As part of the planning process, reno-vating the municipal complex was con-sidered; however, after exploring the facility and analyzing the requirements of each department, it was decided that it would be too challenging, a poor investment, and the existing struc-ture would not accept a much-needed second floor. Kevin Lucas, Project Manager for EDiS, said, “The existing facility had so many problems with it, to upgrade it to today’s standards, to the technology that is needed, just

didn’t make good sense.”

“One of the things that we had to overcome was that we knew we would have to have a multistory building, but we wanted everything on the first floor,” said Former Mayor Samuel Cooper. “The Commissioners Room is used three or four times a month for a couple hours, but City offices are occu-pied 40 hours a week.” This thought ultimately led to locating the Com-missioners Room on the Second Floor and Administrative offices on the first. When asked about the planning and design phase of the project, Mike Wig-ley, President and a principal architect with DBF, said, “We must have gone through 200-300 iterations of different parts of the building.” When it came to designing what would be one of the new building’s most notable features, the atrium and corner element, Mike

said, “We went back into history books and studied the architecture of old cor-ner buildings in the city.” The goal was to create a portion of the building that was not only easy to see from Rehoboth Avenue (Rehoboth’s main street and business district), but also unified the second floor with the first.

After countless designs and consid-erations for the new building, a final design was presented to the Mayor and Commissioners. The design split the building in half, with the west side des-ignated as the Police Department, and the east side designated as City Hall. The Municipal Complex is 2½ stories, 44,000 square feet, and cost roughly

$21 million, with the help of an $18 million loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. On the First Floor, the building now consists of a state-of-the-art 911 Dispatch Center, a detention area, sally port, an office for police offi-cers, and an interview room. The City Hall side features offices for the Mayor, City Manager, Administrative staff, and the Finance Department. On the Sec-ond Floor, the Police Department has offices for the Chief of Police, Detec-tives, administrative staff, and a break room while the City Hall side includes offices for the IT Department, Building & Licensing Department, Alderman Court, a Commissioners Room, and

Commissioners Caucus Room. Finally, the Third Floor accommodates a train-ing room and has unallocated spaces that can be used for future offices. The existing Convention Center remained in place during the construction of the new building, but underwent thorough improvements to the main lobby, floor-ing, and restrooms.

Rehoboth Beach’s new Municipal Complex is one that will serve the community for years to come. But more importantly, it allowed the City to create department efficiencies while having the capacity to grow and adapt to new technology. This has enabled the City to provide higher quality

services and become more transpar-ent in its operations. The City’s Police Department is currently seeking accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The 911 Dispatch Center has set a goal of becoming the first Tri-Accredited Center in the State of Delaware. Neither of these accredita-tions would have been achievable in the old facility. New technology inte-grated into the building has enabled the City to live stream and video/audio record meetings, providing residents with the ability to participate in their city government no matter where they are. The design of the new building

creates a more welcoming environ-ment to the public, as evidenced by the City’s partnership with the Rehoboth Art League and Coastal Camera Club to display artwork throughout the Municipal Complex. Additionally, more meeting spaces and the reno-vated Convention Center provides adequate spaces for community groups to hold special events and meetings. When looking back on the project, Kevin Lucas with EDiS, the Construc-tion Manager for the project, said, “It’s a wonderful facility, it’s stately, and we’re just proud to have been involved in a project like that.” He continued to say, “I even brought my two daughters

down to the grand opening with me because I wanted them to see what a public building is supposed to look like, and that’s what you have in Rehoboth, it’s a public building.”

ost municipal buildings require public access. Customers, vendors and staff require access to carry out a variety of business activities. In the mind’s eye an immediate picture of surveillance cameras and burglar alarms appears when con-

sidering building security. Though this type of equipment is a vital component to maintain secure facilities, there are many key factors to consider. To design an effective build-ing protection plan, threats must be identified prior to the installation of security infrastructure.

Post 9/11 brought on a wave of installation of video surveil-lance and related security equipment to public buildings. Increased population, mental illness, terrorism, bullying, domestic violence and environmental change brought on a host of threats to facilities across the United States. These few examples are just the tip of the iceberg when considering building security. The installation of surveillance equipment alone is no longer enough protection for public buildings.

Build a teamTask people to the security team based on their expertise. Assigning a receptionist with the testing of security equip-ment is ineffective. However, the receptionist would more than likely be the first to notice something odd in a com-mon area of the building. The quicker something is reported the better. Even the smallest report of a broken window or a person hanging around in the parking lot is important.

Don’t discount the maintenance staff. The maintenance staff know the ins and outs of every building. Each person that works in a public building sees the building from a dif-ferent viewpoint. A well-functioning building security plan cannot be run by one department. Collaboration and clear communication build trust within an organization. Don’t get blindsided by discounting employees that didn’t have a heavy hand in the security plan.

AnalysisThe harsh consideration of the protection of assets and life safety is necessary during strategic planning. In order to set priorities to mitigate risk, a study of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats derived from technological, eco-nomic and social environments is a great place to start. This process is referred to as environmental scanning. Every plan requires a high level of collaboration among public safety

officials, facilities mangers and information technology departments. Assessment of structural design, site lighting, security devices, human interface and continuity planning are major components involved in the analysis.

Old facilities are difficult to outfit with updated security measures due to outdated structural design. New construc-tion offers a blank canvas to design for current needs and allows for space to forecast the needs of the future. Vesti-bules, foyers and reception areas with a clear view of entry-ways are current to new construction design. The ability to see who or what is coming from a good distance away allows building occupants time to react and carry out preordained security plans. However, in the height of chaos people can draw a blank and become hysterical. The planning team should identify which staff members increase risk and who becomes an asset during a breech in security.

Exterior walkways that channel foot traffic through well-lit landscaped walkways work as a guide to channel building users on paths that are under surveillance. This goal can be achieved by planting shrubbery, installing concrete bollards and placing LED lights in needed areas. If the intent to cause harm or commit a crime exists, a well-maintained facility can reduce risk. An assailant is less likely to carry out a crimi-nal act at a facility that is well-maintained. Broken windows and burnt-out lights convey a sense of neglect and indicates the building isn’t being watched very closely.

Building Automation Control Systems (BACS)Since the 1980s technological advancement in BACS con-tinues to increase. Based on a 2018 study the BACS market is growing rapidly, showing between 15 and 34 percent market growth annually.

BACS is an automated system that converges, inte-grates and connects many different facility technolo-gies through information flow to a monitoring point. BACS are modular, formed from the integration of devices, equipment and communication platform networks with open communication protocols. (2018 ASIS Foundation)

Remote access and web-based accessibility has created easy access for security administrators to monitor proper-ties. However, new technology creates new threats. Exter-nal network threats are on the rise. The loss of control of building systems poses as a threat. Communication among departments is key to expose systems that are experienc-ing functionality and accessibility issues. Like any other building component, security equipment should be subject to frequent periodic testing. Facility and informational technology departments must work together to develop a preventive maintenance plan on hardware and software. The lines of these two departments have become blurred due to the automation of building systems. It is paramount to ensure systems are not only working correctly but backed up in the event of an outage.

Deployment of the smallest change in security policy requires patience, constant attention to functions and attention to human interface. For example, consider a staff of 100 employees that use an electronic door system. Even the smallest change can cause a domino effect of events. When changes are made to any security plan, it is imperative to monitor the impact the change is having on the facility and the possible loopholes the change has created in the system. If not watched closely automated systems can offer a significant amount of control while simultaneously creating unseen vulnerabilities. Staff members require training and clear instructions on security equipment. The positive side to BACS is that user data are typically instantly available.

Internally systems may appear to operate fine; however, the flow of data must be monitored. Are the proper alerts being received by the appropriate personnel? Building equip-ment is not the only component of failure. External errors are becoming more and more prevalent. Monitoring and software companies have a responsibility of filtering data to the appropriate parties. Therefore, continuity planning and preventive maintenance of all building functions are of criti-cal importance.

Long-term planning is fundamental to security design. Over time how will environmental change impact security plans and what new internal and external threats will sur-face? The infrastructure built today may not meet demands five or ten years from now. Include security planning in facility maintenance plans, communicate with staff on a collaborative level and don’t discount the small details. Public buildings are just that—public—and that is one thing that won’t change soon.

n April 2019 I will have been working for the Wakefield Department of Public Works for 17 years. Over the years, I have been involved in count-

less projects that are typical of the civil engineering profession, but I had never done cemetery work. It was never on my radar.

In 2016 Wakefield needed to expand its town cemetery, Forest Glade Cem-etery. I provided a design, our team carried it forward, and the expansion was built. Shortly thereafter, I was approached again to design a new cremation garden at the cemetery because of the growing need for space. I was inspired; the word “gar-den” sounded like I could be more creative than in the engineering jobs of my past.

I wanted the area to be a peaceful place where residents could stroll and meander through cobblestone walk-ways, relax and reflect. I got caught up in how it looked from above, too. In this drone-happy world with high-resolution aerials, I became focused on the bird’s-eye view. After all, the plan could end up on our town web-site! From above, the sidewalk layout ended up looking like three hearts with a peace sign in the middle, but I liked it. After I decided on the general layout and squeezed out as many graves as I could fit (similar to the numerous parking lot layouts I’ve done in the past), I proudly presented it to my boss, and he approved.

I started to research the details of burying urns. I Googled, called other cemeteries, spoke to urn manufactur-ers, learned about different methods of interment—ground burials, colum-barium, niches—and looked at head-stone markers (flush and raised). I was introduced to the various ways to bury ashes: urns inside vaults, direct urn burial in sand, or the environ-mentally friendly way of dispersing the ashes directly into the ground.

I had to pick my chin off the floor. All I could envision was someone show-ing up to release the contents of their sandwich baggie. I have certainly watched people in movies cast their

loved one’s ashes into the ocean or release them into the sky over the land where they grew up, but I never knew a town would formally set this up. I was so naïve to the many ways interment worked.

Future maintenance was a high priority, along with how our DPW crew would efficiently work the area. We wanted to provide the proper spacing between markers so that equipment would straddle them to avoid mowing by hand if pos-sible. We analyzed spacing between markers to avoid possible damage to adjacent markers during new burials. Other challenging aspects were grad-ing a relatively flat site to prevent puddling in the future and accom-modating irrigation needs. However, one of the biggest items to resolve was the choice of base material to ensure the markers would stay level and never settle. A concrete foot-ing for each row seemed smart, but costly. We also entertained gravel and sand. In addition, we needed to decide if winter burials would be allowed. Even with heating pads and the best equipment operator, excavat-ing through frozen ground is difficult and the risk of damage to existing markers is high. There were surpris-ingly a lot more elements to this proj-ect than I had originally thought.

The Director of Public Works had to present our pamphlet to the Advisory

Board of Public Works and then the Board of Selectmen, listing details and costs to be eventually shared with the public. We needed to decide on policies such as selling graves on an as-needed basis or pre-need; if we should limit the number of graves a resident could pur-chase; and whether to allow only one style/color marker for consistency or

let the purchaser choose a style/color (keeping within a certain criteria and avoiding glossy black because damage can be highly visible).

At this point, I had not yet personally experienced the loss of someone I truly knew, someone who I interacted with regularly and loved. I had been lucky in that respect.

As I watched my mother-in-law’s

emotional moment at the cemetary I helped

to design, my work instantly became

more special. I was proud of my job.

Grave layout plan for Forest Glade Cemetery’s cremation garden


As I immersed myself in this project, my father-in-law regrettably passed away at the age of 83 from kidney fail-ure. I found myself out on Bereave-ment Leave and driving in a funeral procession headed for Forest Glade Cemetery to bury him in the expan-sion section I just helped design. Two weeks later, I was at the cemetery

again investigating the drainage sys-tem and watching a crew vacuum out manholes filled with debris to help finalize the cremation garden plans. Then, I received a call.

My husband was headed to the cem-etery with his mother to acknowledge what would have been his parents' 53rd wedding anniversary. As I

watched my mother-in-law’s emo-tional moment about their extraordi-nary life together, my work instantly became more special. I am not saying the Grinch’s heart grew three sizes that day, but the significance of my work took new form. I was proud of my job.

I was reminded that the quality of our work matters, and it is a remark-able thing to leave things better than how you find them. I discovered that many of the projects presented to me through the Wakefield DPW are personal. Whether it’s fixing some-one’s road or driveway apron, help-ing redirect stormwater to minimize flooding, digging up old records for a resident researching their property—it’s all personal. Going forward, I will remember to approach every job like it’s happening in my own backyard. It’s all personal.

And if you ever get the rare opportuni-ty to design a cremation garden, pour your heart into it. It truly matters.

We are scheduled to start construc-tion of the cremation garden in spring 2019. We hope it will be well-received and a big success.

his article has been a long time coming. For over 18 years the City of West Des Moines, Iowa, has been in the process of designing and

constructing a new Public Works facility. There have been a number of setbacks along the way, with every-thing from funding issues to locating specific sites that have played a part in the delay of the building of this facility. We are currently bursting at the seams with no place to park trucks and equipment. As our city has grown, we have outgrown not only our current site but the offsite rental building we use, as well.

To provide context, some history on the old Public Services facilities, in relation to where we are today, might be helpful. We bought the current building in 1987. It was a repurposed building that used to manufacture pre-cast concrete panels. The building was built in the 1940s. It has served our needs well for the last 30-plus years. As this building was not a designed Public Services facility, adaptations have been made and the building has morphed into what it is today, an overstuffed dingy workplace that houses the majority of our fleet and operations for Public Services.

Our current facil-ity is just short of 60,000 square feet in space. Pictures of both the shop area and office space are pro-vided below. Our secondary Pub-lic Services site, formally known as our Parks Main-tenance Shop, is 5,000 square feet in space. This was the Public Works building prior to moving into the current site. There are pictures attached of this site, as well. Our rental facility is 2,000 square feet in space. This provides us with just under 70,000 square feet, total. In contrast, our new facility is close to 210,000 square feet in total space. This additional square footage will allow us to place all of our equipment under roof and out of the elements. It should be noted that, in the master plan, we will continue to use the existing Public

Services facility, as well as the new one. The old site will become a satellite shop, serving the eastern side of our community for many years to come.

Outside storage for rock soil and like materials on the current site is 7.8 acres. The new site has 60 total acres, with 50 of it buildable. The new site will also house a 15,000-ton salt stor-

age building, adding to the 2,000-ton storage area of our current site. This replaces the shared salt storage facility that is used in conjunction with other Metro Public Works agencies now.

The list of improvements needed at the old site is lengthy. Lighting, a crane system for lifting, floor repairs/grating and additional office/shop space are among the pressing issues at the top of the list. We have already encroached on the available green space, but still find ourselves short on growth area. The only way to build is up which isn’t an option.

As with any new building construc-tion, planning and zoning have played a huge role in determining where we could build. West Des Moines is a very progressive, affluent community that is concerned about appearances, so the old saying “build anywhere but in my backyard” has definitely been in play. We looked at 26 different sites before we landed on the current loca-tion. The final choice was by far the best of the sites under consideration, that allowed unrestricted construction and didn’t require the City to have a 100’ deep fill area for drive access. We also avoided building a Public Works building in the community’s back yard by selecting a site that is nestled in

a commercial area of our community, with great access to our road system. Forward thinking sees the site even-tually being in the center of town as West Des Moines experiences dynamic growth in the next 40-50 years.

As we set out to design the facility, we sought input from the employees who work in the facility, both operators

and support/management staff. This input was seen as critical in build-ing a multi-decade-lasting building with room for expansion. To gain a better understanding of what we truly wanted, a team was assembled to study a selection of Public Works buildings that have been constructed in the last 5-8 years. For example, one

common complaint from our opera-tors has been the lack of light in the building. That has been addressed in the new building plans with the addition of bright, energy-efficient LED lighting. Cramped parking stalls were addressed, as well, in addition to modern wash bays that allow more than one truck to be washed at a time. These improvements were only the beginning. A state-of-the-art blend-ing station/building was added for the blending of anti-icing liquids and the adequate storage of the liquid. The new site will double the amount of brine we are able to store, from 40,000 to now 80,000 gallons. Each facet of Public Services (sign shop, sanitary sewer, carpentry, streets, facilities maintenance, etc.) will have a stor-age/maintenance area specific to the work they are completing. A rein-forced MOC (Municipal Operations Center) and a state-of-the-art truck/equipment repair shop will add to the efficiency and effectiveness of each of the Public Works departments.

In addition, an updated locker room for both male and female staff, work-out room to promote a heather living concept, and a quiet room/mother’s room are also included in the plans. A large, modern expandable training room that can seat all of our current staff and most of our city employees is a long-awaited, popular addition. The new building will also incorporate a number of safety features such as reinforced front entry gates, FOB locks door and camera system, allowing employees to feel safe and secure while at work.

These are just some of the details of what have gone into considering, planning, designing and in-the-near-future building of this facility. This building is being built to last well into the next 40-50 years, with the abil-ity to be expanded upon to allow for growth as the community grows.

ocated directly across the Potomac River from Wash-ington, D.C., the City of Alexandria has a rich, deep history going back to the mid-1700s. From Gadsby’s Tavern, frequented by George Washington, to the planned Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, Alexan-

dria has been a vital part of the nation’s past and is helping to shape the future.

While unique in some respects, when it comes to facility capital maintenance, Alexandria’s story is not all that differ-ent from other municipalities. Minimal investment, going back decades, has led many City-owned facilities to fall into a state of disrepair with what seems like an insurmountable list of deferred capital replacements. In an age where data is required to make most major decisions, how do you gather and use data to justify additional capital investment in facili-ties to the decision makers when you have minimal data to start with? This is what the staff in the Department of General Services asked themselves and what drove a change in culture and mindset concerning capital maintenance for the City of Alexandria.

The conventional way of facility managementWhen Jeremy McPike was appointed as Director of the

Department of General Services in 2011, one of his priori-ties was to build a system to collect and report good data across the department. Neither the department nor the City had a true sense of what the state of their facilities was. Using “Band-Aids and duct tape” to keep equipment running until it failed had been the approach since at least the 1980s, and the severe lack of capital funding reflected a critical situation. This was common operating practice for quite a few jurisdictions.

Useable electronic documentation was barely existent, with most information captured in paper files or in the minds of former and current facility and project managers. Gathering and consolidating that data would have been time intensive, with questionable results. In 2013, staff made good on the Director’s priority of collecting and reporting good data by securing funding to initiate a facility condition assessment program that would enlist a third-party expert to evaluate City-owned facilities and compile the data in a capital plan-ning software program.

General Services staff had previous experience with the capital planning software developed by VFA and made the decision to contract with the company to support the new

L


program. VFA, now an Accruent company, would provide facility assessment services and capital planning software to give facility managers and senior leadership the tools and data required to create a multi-year capital investment strat-egy in alignment with the City’s mission and core values.

The initiativeThe “state of good repair” project began in October 2014; with a portfolio consisting of 2.5 million square feet of vari-ous facility types and limited staffing, the project was phased over four years.

Each assessment phase consisted of four key stages: visual inspection of facilities by the VFA assessment team; data input into the capital planning software; multi-level qual-ity checks; and final reporting of all findings. The software would provide two crucial sets of information: systems data and requirements data.

VFA defines systems “as components of an asset, such as roofing, partitions, lighting, stairs, plumbing, or any other element that can be assigned a UNIFORMAT II Category.” Main data points at the systems level include the year installed; Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) life expectancy; observed years remaining; quan-tity; in-kind replacement cost (in today’s dollars, based

on RSMeans with an adjustment factor); and the year the system should be replaced. The totality of the systems would give the current replacement value of the facility.

Requirements are the “need or a deficient condition that should be addressed, including deferred maintenance, code issues, functional requirements, and capital improve-ments.” When a system comes within 10 years of being due for replacement, a requirement would be generated and can then be planned and budgeted. Manual requirements can be entered for deficiencies found outside of regular lifecycle replacements, such as code and ADA issues.

The success that the Department of General Services has had with implementing a new data system

has caught the eyes of other jurisdictions in their region, and

the local media.


One important data point derived from the VFA capital planning software is the Facility Condition Index (FCI). It is used to measure the condition of a facility at that point in time. The City of Alexandria has defined the FCI as a ratio of all deferred maintenance plus five years of requirements to the current replacement value of that facility. The result is a number that can be translated to a percentage where the closer to “0,” the better the condition of the facility. The City went one step further and assigned a letter grade to ranges of scores (see chart). Letter grades became an easy, universal way to clearly convey the state of a facility without needing to remember where the number value falls on the FCI scale.

The culture shiftAfter the first round of assessments was completed in 2015, the Department of General Services analyzed the data and presented the results to the Alexandria City Council. With 42 percent of the assessed facilities graded as a “D” or “F,” it became clear to the Council that investment in City facili-ties would need to become a priority. In 2016, City Council voted to increase the real estate property tax by three cents, the largest increase in almost four years. Two-thirds of that increase were budgeted for facility maintenance projects in the Fiscal Year 2017 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget, which nearly tripled the prior year’s budget. The department currently reports annually to City Council on the state of City facilities in an effort to show the need for continuous investment.

The newly funded facilities maintenance and replacement projects in the CIP required the addition of five new posi-tions to provide for capital project implementation and quality assurance. General Services’ Deputy Director, Donna Poillucci, integrated the data from the assessments into a Strategic Facility Plan to align both facility capital replace-ment needs decisions with both asset relocation and/or collocation. All facilities with both significant capital invest-

ment and significant user program challenges were required to undergo a full review to determine all potential needs and alternatives, including renovation, demolition, repur-pose, relocation or collocation to assess alternatives to their current state. A Joint City-Schools Facility Investment Task Force was also created to provide guidance and recommen-dations for thoughtful long-term prioritization of facility investments between school and City facilities.

The success that the Department of General Services has had with implementing a new data system to support their initiatives has caught the eyes of other jurisdictions in their region, and the local media. As a result, many other jurisdic-tions are implementing similar initiatives. The City hopes to continue to be a role model for capital reinvestment and to bring all their facilities to a “state of good repair.”

esidents of the eastern coast of the United States inherently understand the immense impact of Atlantic hurricanes. Intense, prolonged winds,

heavy rainfall, storm surges, and severe flooding are potential threats from these massive storm systems. In early October of 2016, Hurricane Matthew devastated the southeastern United States, including eastern North Carolina. The Category 1 hurricane made landfall in South Carolina on the morning of October 8, 2018. The storm system deluged the City of Fayetteville, NC with up to 15 inches of rain over a two-day period. The City of Fayette-ville is located in Cumberland County, approximately 90 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean and approximately 60 miles southeast of Raleigh, NC. The hurricane landfall was preceded by a tropical storm system that brought up to eight inches of rain less than two weeks prior.

As you may imagine, this amount of rainfall resulted in substantial flood-ing within the City of Fayetteville and many parts of Cumberland County. Cumberland County owns and main-tains 45 facilities that range in size from 2,900 square feet (sf) (a group home operated by the Department of Social Services) to 320,000 sf (Cumber-land County Detention Center). Most of the facilities owned by Cumberland County were unscathed by the storm or experienced minimal damage. The Cumberland County Headquarters Library located adjacent to Cross Creek within the heart of downtown Fay-etteville was not so fortunate. It is not uncommon for the stream to overtop its banks during heavy thunderstorms throughout the year, and the water levels rose significantly with the heavy rainfall as expected. The Headquarters Library is positioned on the high side of the creek and sits several feet above

the top of bank elevation. To date, this facility had never been impacted by flooding since its construction in 1984.

During the early morning hours of October 9, 2016, the floodwaters breached the banks of Cross Creek and came in direct contact with the Headquarters Library. Floodwaters rose approximately 2.5 feet on the exterior of the building (see Image No. 1). The ground floor of the building received six inches of muddy floodwaters throughout. The floodwaters were also able to seep underneath the thresholds of all the exterior doors. The ground floor is comprised of approximately 25,000 sf of the facility’s total 86,000 sf area.

Due to the magnitude of the dam-age caused by this flooding event, the County immediately reached out to a disaster recovery and remediation con-tractor to take the lead on removing all flooded building contents and dam-aged interior finishes within the facil-ity. Since all air handler systems had to be shut down to isolate conditions, positive air had to be introduced into the building to provide safe working conditions for the contractor’s employ-ees as they worked to remove saturated carpet, furniture, electronics, books, supplies, etc. (see Image No. 2).

While the facility only received six inches of water on the interior of the ground floor, the floodwaters had

wicked up the sheetrock walls approxi-mately another six inches. Therefore, the first 48 inches of sheetrock for every sheetrock wall was removed down to the metal studs in order to prevent the growth of mold on the interior surfaces of walls. Mold growth of this type poses a hazard because it would not be visible but would become significantly problematic moving for-ward (see Image No. 3).

The total cost for flood response, remediation, interior repairs, and replacement of damaged building contents was $1.2 million. Since there is a small portion of the facility that is located within the 100-year flood-plain, the County carries flood insur-

ance on the facility. While the County has been very fortunate not to have experienced flooding at this facility prior to Hurricane Matthew, County staff realized that efforts needed to be taken to reduce the likelihood of this happening in the future. The County was eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mitiga-tion funds to take steps that would reduce the potential threat of flooding from future storm events. The County’s Engineering & Infrastructure (E&I) staff researched various mitigation options. There are six exterior doors on the ground floor that allowed floodwaters to enter the facility. Staff determined that identifying a way to create a water-tight seal around these exterior doors prior to a potential flooding event would prevent or minimize the entry of floodwater into the facility.

Following a detailed review of various options and products, it was deter-mined that removable flood barri-ers in front of the six exterior doors was the best option. This option was determined not only to be the most economical, but also one that could be installed and removed quickly. The ease of installation and removal was an extremely important factor, as there is not always advanced warning that a flooding event will occur. E&I staff

identified the product that best met the needs and advertised a bid for local contractors to perform the necessary installation. Since this was a product and concept that E&I staff had no prior experience with, the requirement that the bidders secure a manufacturer repre-sentative onsite during installation was included in the scope of work to ensure that the floor barriers were installed cor-rectly. The cost of having the manufac-

turer representative onsite was required to be included in the bidding contrac-tor’s lump sum bid for the installation of the six removable flood barriers.

The flood barrier consists of brackets that are mounted on each side of the door to the exterior of the facility. Removable panels can be slid into the bracket assembly to effectively create a tight fit. The aluminum panels are

stored onsite where they are readily accessible and can be easily installed by library staff. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for a two-person team to properly install the removable flood barriers on the six doors. The cost of purchasing and installing the remov-able flood barriers was $26,452, which was 100 percent covered by FEMA mitigation funding.

As Hurricane Florence approached in September 2018, efforts were taken to prepare all County-owned facilities for the impacts of another hurricane. Those efforts included the installa-tion of the aluminum flood panels at the Headquarters Library as shown in Image No. 4.

The removable flood barriers proved to be very successful in keeping the floodwaters of Cross Creek from enter-ing the facility during the duration of extreme rainfall that was received

over the course of several days from Hurricane Florence. While the depth of water against the structure did not reach the same level as during Hur-ricane Matthew, the barriers were an effective measure for this storm, and County staff maintain confidence that they will function as intended in future flooding events.

Natural disasters have the potential to create a myriad of adverse impacts to infrastructure, both public and private. Organizations that effectively assess weaknesses post-disaster, identify miti-gation steps and procedures, and fully utilize FEMA mitigation funding have a greater chance of protecting their assets from future disasters.

ublic works directors and managers tend to have their fair share of outdated facilities and structures to maintain. Dealing with a facility renovation tends to be one of the most time-consuming proj-

ects on a director’s or manager’s plate. Having been involved in numerous facility renovation projects has provided me

with the opportunity to realize a few important factors. It also became apparent that sometimes these renovation proj-ects go smoothly and others not so much.

Facility renovations for existing structures can be a black hole of problems, issues and unknowns. This is especially

Key factors during facility renovations

true when you’re dealing with facilities that are old, out-dated and neglected. Any significant renovation or upgrade within a building can trigger major code compliance issues in addition to having second and third order effects. The likelihood of running into the “unknowns” is increased dramatically when public facilities are up for renovation. This can be due to many factors including numerous years of underfunded repairs and maintenance, poor record keep-ing, personnel turnover within maintenance departments, or poor initial construction or oversight. In addition, many of these facilities fall under governmental agencies that are chronically underfunded. This tends to lead to well-meaning maintenance personnel that must “Band-Aid” systems to keep them functioning. In some cases, these Band-Aids have been in place for many years. These issues are not always known or discovered until renovation work is already started and that is when those unknown problems can cost you time and money, not to mention significant stress and pos-sibly some hair loss.

There are several key factors that can help minimize the stress and keep your facility renovation project on track. Focusing on key components of the project like scope of work, preliminary investigation, pre-bid conference, design elements, funding resources, management resources and schedule will help reduce delays, minimize costs and provide a satisfactory product. This article covers just a couple of these factors to consider as part of a facility renovation.

In the initial stages of a renovation project, a scope of work needs to be well defined. This scope of work is important for several reasons. This allows for the facility owner(s) and user(s) to ensure the renovation meets the desired end state and goal. This also helps everyone involved to understand what the expectations of the project are, and it will help to minimize “scope creep.” Scope creep tends to happen when the goal is not clearly defined. The facility managers or users will benefit from understanding the scope and it will further help in assisting the project towards completion.

The scope of work does not have to be overly detailed or lengthy but should be detailed enough that contractors and vendors who bid on the project understand what the extent of the work will be. This will go a long way in procuring competitive bids from qualified contractors or vendors. An unclear scope of work could either push vendors’ pricing up or prevent them from bidding at all. This reduces your chances of getting a good price and a qualified vendor.

Another important aspect of any renovation project for an existing facility is to ensure a thorough inspection and evaluation of the facility is done before or during the initial design. This includes structural components, HVAC compo-nents, electrical systems, and life safety systems just to name a few. A significant portion of renovation projects blow the budget because no one did their homework. Once a contrac-tor is onsite and the project is started, it becomes costly to

stop work to address issues that should have been caught during preliminary inspections.

Starting with the maintenance crews in a facility is the best bet. These personnel know the facility inside and out. They tend to have knowledge about issues that may not have been known to others or documented. Investigations should include opening ceilings to verify utilities, issues, and current conditions. Sometimes this may include cutting test sections in walls, ceilings, floors, etc. This could expose a variety of factors that will help designers and vendors get a better understanding of conditions. Equally important is inspecting all systems to include HVAC, electrical, life safety and any proprietary systems, like security or technology, that could be exclusive of the facility. These tend to run costs up if only one vendor is accepted. Controls for HVAC should be reviewed, whether they are being expanded or replaced. Electrical panels also need to be looked at to ensure code compliance. Facilities have a wide range of electronics and controls that need to be looked at to ensure they can communicate properly with each other. Some systems may need to be replaced as technology has developed. Ensur-ing all aspects of the facility are investigated is critical and using your maintenance staff’s existing knowledge is sure to reduce unforeseen issues.

Another key factor or “best practice” is to conduct a pre-bid site walk with potential contractors and vendors. This

has a number of benefits for everyone involved. The contractors and the vendors are the subject matter experts in their fields. When they have the opportunity to walk through and look at a potential project, it will help them mitigate their risk and yours. Ensure there is a formal process for questions to be asked and answered, because they are likely to ask questions about key things that may have slipped by previous inspections. They may also have recommendations as to another more effective way to complete certain aspects of the work. Ensure your pre-bid site walks are scheduled to maxi-mize their participation and access to the space. This may mean shifting hours or days but in the long run the benefit is worth it.

The factors discussed above are only a few examples of some best practices to follow when considering a facility ren-ovation project. Focusing on the scope of work, facility inspection and pre-bid site walk will help the project be suc-cessful. Ensuring a well-defined scope of work will provide building owners, engineers, architects and contractors with a good foundation to work off. Also utilizing the in-house knowledge of maintenance staff and conducting a thorough inspection of all systems can prevent major headaches, and change orders, as does the pre-bid site walk. Leveraging the knowledge of contractors and subcontractors from a site walk can prevent issues later on, for both the project owner and the contractor. Existing facility renovation projects can be stressful and require significant time invested if a good outcome is desired. Following some of these factors will hopefully reduce your stressful project and allow you to focus efforts on enjoying your newly reno-vated facility.

One of the toughest challenges public works agencies face is to gain support and funding for renovating or building new administration and maintenance spaces. Our buildings are not schools, police stations, libraries, community centers or fire stations and are not usu-ally public gathering spaces. As long as we provide quality service the general public is usually not interested in how we are set up. In Lexington it took us almost 30 years to get a new Public Ser-vices Building (approved in 2007 and occupied in 2009) and we have been able to show the community the value of keeping our equipment inside, hav-ing central storage and having opera-tions, engineering and administration all in one place.

In 2014 due to the success of our Public Services Building we felt the commu-

nity was ready to discuss a new admin-istration/maintenance building for our full-time cemetery. The current build-ing was constructed in the 1960s and

has outlived its useful life. Westview Cemetery is one of four cemeteries that the Town owns and is the only active cemetery. We average 192 burials per year and average 84 lots sold per year. In 2015 we were able to secure funds to study the building and the program to determine needs and whether we could renovate, add on or build new. Working with our Public Facilities Department we hired an architect to do the study and develop a building plan and program.

Some of the key factors we considered were:

• Increase vehicle storage space to house all cemetery-related vehicles

• Create a meeting room for grieving families so they could be out of the main office area

• Create separate restroom facilities for staff and the general public

• Enlarge and update the records storage area

• Increase materials storage in order to purchase items in bulk

• Increase maintenance workspace in order for staff to perform in-house maintenance

After review of the existing building the recommendation was to build new at a different location on the cemetery property. This would allow for the building to fully meet the program and would free up prime area for new grave development. The projected cost of the new building including design and construction administration costs is 2.8 million dollars.

Based on staff input a schematic design was developed and presented to the Board of Selectmen. The Board was receptive to the plan and supportive of moving forward but challenged us to identify some alternative fund-ing sources due to the large projects already in queue for the Town such

as a new fire station, a new preschool center, a new visitor’s center, two new school buildings and a proposed streetscape project.

After an initial review of funding sourc-es, staff identified fee increases as a way to help offset some of the construction costs. We had not raised any fees for service at the cemetery since 2005. Working with the Town’s Management Intern staff, we surveyed eighteen surrounding communities to see what they charged for various cemetery services. When all of the information was gathered, Lexington was below the average cost for most services.

Three funding options based on dif-ferent fee increases were developed and presented to the Board. The options were:

• Option 1 – Beginning July 1, 2017, adjust cemetery rates by 2.5% annually over 2005 rates and 2.5% every year beginning FY2019.

• Option 2 – Beginning July 1, 2017, adjust cemetery rates to the aver-age among Lexington’s compa-rable communities and 2.5% every year beginning FY2019.

• Option 3 – Beginning July 1, 2017, adjust cemetery rates to cover the estimated debt service for a new

equipment/administration build-ing and maintain a minimum of ~$100,000 in Sale of Cemetery Lots (approximate 61% increase over rates established in FY2005) and 2.5% every year beginning FY2019.

After review and public feedback, the Board elected to implement Option 1. This will keep the fee increase near the average of the neighboring communi-ties while still allowing for a portion of the debt service to be covered. The next step was to solidify community sup-port for the project and complete the design. Before the 2017 Spring Town Meeting we arranged a bus tour of the current cemetery building for Town Meeting members. This gave them an opportunity to see first-hand what the challenges were, the existing condi-tions, and what the needs were going

forward. They then approved the full design funds.

After several renderings and meetings with our Permanent Building Com-mittee we have a design that is cost effective and meets our program and customer needs. We will be asking for construction funds at the 2019 Spring Town Meeting.

Our staff feels that by working together with the community to be creative

with funding sources we were able to secure support for a non-traditional town building. Also, by delivering quality service, we have the confidence of the residents to use an enhanced administration/maintenance building to meet their needs.

Real Wood…StickersToast uses sustainable wood to make high-quality stick-ers that can be customized with logos or other artwork. The stickers come in four wood tones and are available in three sizes. The company’s graphic designers will work

one-on-one with a company to dial in the sticker design for maximum impact.

For more information, please call (503) 206-7398 or visit https://www.toastmade.com/products/custom-real-wood-stickers.html.

McKinstry teams with Covington Water District to install new hydropower turbine McKinstry teamed with Covington Water District (CWD) in South Seattle to install a new hydropower turbine in the utility district’s water main, generating roughly 70 percent of the annual energy consumed by CWD’s administrative facilities. The now fully operational turbine system, custom manufactured by Canyon Hydro and implemented along-side McKinstry, Gray & Osborne and CWD, was installed in a new water transmission line that connects CWD to Tacoma Water. The 170-foot drop between the systems causes sub-stantial pressure buildup, which would be lost as heat and noise. The new turbine will reduce the water pressure while


also generating energy. For more information, please call (206) 762-3311 or visit https://www.mckinstry.com/.

ChlorTainer® – Total Containment System A 150-pound or one-ton chlorine gas or sulfur dioxide cylinder is sealed within the ChlorTainer vessel for processing. Any release from the contained cylinder is used at a normal rate, eliminat-ing waste disposal and scrubbing. The “zero” release technology makes ChlorTainer the safest choice for leak prevention. Total containment is the only technology that is considered passive for RMP considerations. The high quality and reliability of the vessels, as well as trouble-free maintenance, makes ChlorTainer a favored choice for any site that uses chlorine gas or sulfur dioxide. Contact infor-mation: (800) 543-6603, www.ChlorTainer.com, [email protected]

New Cub Cadet zero-turn conquers hillsides, saves time and moneyCub Cadet has introduced a new addition to its PRO Z Series, announcing the release of the PRO Z 972 SD, a professional zero-turn mower that has the capability of operating on slopes of up to 25 degrees. With the ability to mow confidently and accurately across hills horizontally, municipalities can dramatically improve their efficiency and at the same time produce a superior quality cut. Design elements in the PRO Z 972 SD, such as its dual rear wheels, allow operators to mow tough terrain with a higher level of stability and pre-cision. The one-of-a-kind four-wheel steering system offers total control, and a comfortable, straight line mow, even on steeper hillsides. This gives landscapers the opportunity to conquer 25-degree slopes they couldn’t mow before with a commercial lap-bar zero-turn. For more information, please visit www.CubCadet.com.

Roll·Rite® TarpMaster® systemsRoll·Rite® TarpMaster® systems are designed for single to tri-axle dumps using up to 24 feet of tarp. Optional amp sensing motor controller auto-matically turns off the motor, at the precise time, on tarp wind up. In traditional tarping, over winding trips the circuit breaker. Excessive breaker trips degrade the breaker leaving the tarp motor and wire unprotected from overheating. Roll·Rite’s “One-Touch” motor controller prevents circuit breaker failure and overheating, with-out guessing when to release the switch. New EZ-mount base for high-mount pivot is also available allowing arms to be mounted on upper body where required on spreaders or belly dumps. For more information, please visit www.RollRite.com.


Keep your city cool and green with TreeDiaper®TreeDiaper® is the ultimate soil moisture stabilizer for urban forestry. The most common causes of death for newly-planted unban trees are overwatering and underwa-tering, but drip and manual irrigation are time-consuming and cost inefficient. Stop losing money on tedious, labor-intensive replanting and watering maintenance. TreeDi-aper® absorbs rainwater then releases it at an extremely slow rate when the soil dries, creating a more ideal growing environment for city trees. Keep your city cool and green with TreeDiaper®! Save plants, save water, save labor, and save the planet. Learn more at www.TreeDiaper.com.
