BOX 400 CHESAPEAKE BEACH, MARYLAND 20732 (410) 257-2230 (301) 855-8398 To: The Honorable Mayor and Town Council From: Holly Wahl, Town Administrator Subject: Chesapeake Beach Water Reclamation Treatment Plant (CBWRTP) Geotechnical Study Date: March 7, 2024 I. BACKGROUND: Through the continued work on the design project at the Chesapeake Beach Water Reclamation Treatment Plant (CBWRTP) for the Headworks Improvements with McCrone, it has been identified that additional investigative work will need to be performed to identify the conditions of the soils and water table in the proposed wetwell. Due to the proximity of this proposed location to the existing Clarifier #1, the subsurface conditions will need to be evaluated. There is concern that dewatering work for the installation of the wetwell may cause structural issues with the clarifier. This work is detailed in the Proposal for Geotechnical Services provided by Geo- Technology Associates, Inc. submitted to McCrone (shown as Exhibit A). II. FISCAL IMPACT: The work will be billed by McCrone to the Town as a change order as part of the Town of Chesapeake Beach Headworks Improvement Project for a cost not to exceed $25,000. Funds would be expended through the FY24 Capital Improvements line item from the CBWRTP.  Exhibit A GEO-TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATES, INC. GEOTECHNICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS A Practicing GBA Member Firm January 26, 2024 McCrone Engineering 20 Ridgely Avenue, Suite 201 Annapolis, Maryland 21401 Attn: Ms. Natalia S. Dunlap Re: Proposal for Geotechnical Services Proposed Wet Well Chesapeake Beach Water Reclamation Plant Calvert County, Maryland Dear Natalia: Geo-Technology Associates, Inc. (GTA) is pleased to submit this Proposal to McCrone Engineering (“Client”) for the work (“Work”) described in detail in the Scope of Services section of this Proposal. The work will be performed for the wet well planned for the Chesapeake Beach Reclamation Plant at 8550 Bayside Road in the Chesapeake Beach area of Calvert County, Maryland. GTA’s understanding of the proposed improvements and existing site conditions is based on the following information:  Based on correspondence with Client representative, GTA understands that the proposed wet well is planned to have interior dimensions of 12.5 feet by 15 feet and bottom elevation at 25 feet below existing ground surface. Grit and screening structures are planned on top of the wet well. The sheeting/shoring area will be approximately 18.5 feet by 21 feet.  The plan titled Wastewater Treatment Plant, Enhanced Nutrient Removal Upgrade, dated September 15, 2011. This plan depicts layout, utility alignment and profiles, architectural drawings, and structural details of the existing facility.  The plan titled Secondary Clarifiers, dated July 7, 2016, prepared by Dutchland, Inc. This plan depicts details of two existing clarifier tanks adjacent to the proposed wet well location. To characterize subsurface conditions, GTA will perform one Standard Penetration Test (SPT) boring and install one groundwater monitoring well in the vicinity of the proposed wet well. Laboratory testing and engineering analysis will be provided, and a geotechnical report summarizing the results and preliminary recommendations will be generated for this project. GTA’s scope of services is detailed in the following section. 14280 Park Center Drive, Suite A, Laurel, MD 20707 (410) 792-9446 (301) 470-4470  Abingdon, MD  Baltimore, MD  Laurel, MD  Frederick, MD  Waldorf, MD  New Castle, DE  Georgetown, DE  Somerset, NJ  NYC Metro  York, PA  Quakertown, PA  Beaver Falls, PA  Malvern, OH  Sterling, VA  Nashville, TN  Charlotte, NC  Raleigh, NC Visit us on the web at www.gtaeng.com McCrone Engineering Re: Chesapeake Beach Water Reclamation Plant – Proposal for Geotechnical Services January 26, 2024 Page 2 SCOPE OF SERVICES This proposal is limited exclusively to the work described in this Scope of Services section. Services not expressly described shall be considered excluded from the scope of services. If Client requests additional services, such services will be billed as discussed in the Additional Work section of this Proposal. GTA proposes to perform the following services: Task 1 – Geotechnical Exploration and Report  Perform a site visit, notify Miss Utility, and retain a Private Locator in an attempt to clear underground utilities in the area of explorations.  Mobilize a truck- or track-mounted SPT drill rig to the project site. Unless otherwise advised, it is assumed that GTA has permission to enter the site at the most convenient location.  Perform one SPT boring to a depth of 60 feet below existing grade, or prior refusal, using a mud-rotary drilling method. GTA will field locate the exploration location using tape measurements from existing site features. GTA requests for Client to field locate the proposed boundaries of the sheeting/shoring system prior to GTA’s drilling activities so that GTA can plan the borings within the proposed sheeting/shoring area.  GTA anticipates that the exploration will likely encounter groundwater. GTA will install a groundwater monitoring well adjacent to the boring location to a depth of 30 feet below existing grade. GTA will equip the monitoring well with a flush- mount cover and install a datalogger to continuously monitor groundwater for a duration of about one week in an effort to estimate tidal groundwater depth changes. o Note that abandonment of the monitoring well will be required prior to or during installation of the wet well. Monitoring well abandonment is not included in the scope of this Proposal.  Wet spoils will be generated during drilling. After completion of drilling, GTA will spray down the work area in an attempt to clear excess of spoils. Additional cleanup effort, if required, can be provided as an additional service under Task 2 of this Proposal.  Spoils (and grout, if needed) will be used to backfill the SPT borehole. The borehole will be patched with quick-setting concrete. o Excess drilling spoils, if present, will be left on-site in nearby vegetated areas. Alternatively, if Client requests off-site disposal of drilling spoils, those costs are included in Task 1B of this Proposal. McCrone Engineering Re: Chesapeake Beach Water Reclamation Plant – Proposal for Geotechnical Services January 26, 2024 Page 3  Provide a staff geologist/engineer to coordinate and log explorations.  Perform limited laboratory testing to evaluate the general engineering characteristics of the site subsoils. This testing may include grain size testing, plasticity testing, and soil moisture content testing.  Prepare a geotechnical engineering report that includes the results of our field explorations and laboratory analyses, and our preliminary recommendations for the proposed wet well. Task 1A – Groundwater Drawdown Evaluation (if required) Due to proximity of the site to the Chesapeake Bay, GTA anticipates that groundwater will be encountered in the boring and that dewatering will be required during wet well construction. Depending on the depth of groundwater, dewatering activities may cause groundwater drawdown beneath the adjacent existing structures. Rapid drawdown will cause changes in the pore pressure and effective stresses of the soils supporting the existing structures and may cause foundation settlement. If groundwater is encountered in the boring, GTA will perform the following services:  Collect up to four Shelby Tube samples for laboratory testing.  Perform limited laboratory testing on the Shelby Tube samples, including grain size analysis, plasticity testing, unit weight testing, soil moisture content testing, permeability testing, and triaxial shear with pore pressure testing.  Perform a groundwater drawdown analysis to estimate drawdown-induced settlement beneath the adjacent existing structures. The results of the laboratory testing and drawdown analysis will be incorporated into the geotechnical engineering report included in Task 1. Tasks 1B – Off-Site Disposal of Drilling Spoils (if requested) If acceptable to the Client, GTA can leave the spoils generated from drilling on-site for no additional fee. However, if requested by the Client prior to mobilization, GTA can dispose of excess drilling spoils off-site. GTA will collect samples from the soil and wastewater generated by the field explorations and submit them for waste characterization analysis and taken off-site for disposal at a permitted facility. The cost of the characterization testing and disposal will depend on the quantity of spoils and wastewater generated by the explorations, and the types/levels of contamination (if present) in the spoils and wastewater. These factors cannot be accurately projected in advance of the explorations. Task 1A includes a suggested allowance for off-site disposal of spoils, based on GTA’s prior experience with similar projects. However, the actual disposal fee will be billed as described in the Fees and Payments section of this Proposal. McCrone Engineering Re: Chesapeake Beach Water Reclamation Plant – Proposal for Geotechnical Services January 26, 2024 Page 4 Task 2 – Additional Services GTA will attend meetings and provide additional consultation as requested by the Client. Additional site cleanup effort, if required, will be billed as an additional service. FEES AND PAYMENTS GTA’s fee is for the work described in the Scope of Services section of this Proposal, at the location described. Based on currently available information, the fee for the Work listed in the Scope of Services will be as follows: COST SUMMARY Task 1 Geotechnical Exploration and Report $16,000.00 Task 1A Groundwater Drawdown Evaluation (if required) $6,700.00 Task 1B Off-site Disposal of Drilling Spoils (if requested)* $4,000.00 (Suggested Allowance) Task 2 Additional Consultation and Meetings Hourly *Task 1A fee is based on the assumption that the spoils and wastewater will not be environmentally impacted and will not exhibit signs of contamination. If the spoils are suspected to be contaminated, additional characterization testing and higher disposal fees will likely be required, and the fee for this task will be adjusted accordingly. Changed conditions or additional requirements may result in an adjustment to estimated fees. ADDITIONAL WORK Experience indicates that certain additional items of work may be required or necessary which GTA cannot presently determine or estimate. For this reason, the fee for these items is not included in our fee estimate. For Client’s reference, the following are some of the services that may be required as additional work to complete the work, but that are expressly excluded from the Scope of Services.  Exploration stakeout by a Licensed Surveyor.  Delay time, if unable to access boring locations for reasons beyond the control of GTA.  Damage to underground utilities if Miss Utility is notified.  Water source for drilling, if necessary.  Environmental characterization testing, other than that included in Task 1A for drilling spoil disposal.  Construction monitoring.  Site restoration other than backfilling, grouting, and patching exploration holes once.  Sediment and erosion control. McCrone Engineering Re: Chesapeake Beach Water Reclamation Plant – Proposal for Geotechnical Services January 26, 2024 Page 5  Contracted heavy machinery to provide access to heavily wooded areas.  Cost of equipment damaged while drilling through rubble or debris.  Permit acquisition. Such permits may include, but are not limited to right-of-way entry permits, grading permits, sediment and erosion control permits.  Correction work due to inaccurate information supplied by Client or its agents.  Meeting attendance.  Traffic Control.  Pavement Design. Fees for additional work shall be in addition to any fees for the work described in the Scope of Services section.

Fee Schedule: GTA 00-23 To: The Honorable Mayor and Town Council From: Holly Wahl, Town Administrator Subject: Proactive Saddle Replacement Project Date: March 7, 2024 I. BACKGROUND: Public works staff spends hundreds of hours every year repairing failed saddles costing the Town both direct and indirect costs. These hours are never planned and are always an emergency response requiring an “all hands-on deck” response from Public Works. The work to address failed saddles is time intensive requiring repair of the failed line and removal of the wet material before the hole can be backfilled and then asphalt installed. There are several reasons for the failures, some are caused by (i) stray currents, (ii) electrical panels inside the home grounded in some form to the copper water line, and (iii) a possible magnetic field around underground utilities that latches onto copper laterals. In all these cases the current travels along the copper (metal) water line to the main C-900 (plastic) water main. At that point the current can no longer travel and finds the weakest metal which is the saddle. Public works has also proactively changed out saddles in a phased in approach with an estimated $2,000,000 in direct cost savings. II. FISCAL IMPACT: The Fishing creek wet well upgrade was budgeted at $350,000.00; however, the Town expended $100,000 by replacing portions of the wet well rather than a complete replacement. The cost savings were made possible by Public Works staff completing all of the above ground repairs in house by 1) installing new controls and panels at higher elevations 2) raising the pump lift and crane foundation to the same elevation as the wet well door, 3) taking the station offline to enter the wet well and change out all the interior plumbing and hardware, and 4) changing all plumbing and checking valves in the dry vault. Town staff is requesting to utilize the $250,000 in savings from the Fishing Creek wet well project to complete additional saddle replacements not to exceed the savings of $250,000. Funding will come from the Utility Fund FY24 Capital Improvement line item utilizing funds that are available through the cost savings made available through American Rescue Plan Act funding. To: The Honorable Mayor and Town Council From: Holly Wahl, Town Administrator Subject: Opioid Abuse Awarness Sculpture Project Date: March 7, 2024 I. BACKGROUND: The Twin Beach Opioid Abuse Awareness Coalition provided a call for artists in November of 2022 seeking public art dedicated to those we have lost and those who continue to struggle to opioids. A project was selected; however, there are other submissions that the Twin Beach Opioid Abuse Awareness Coalition is interested in seeking to commission one of the artists to construct a sculpture to place in a public space of the Town of Chesapeake Beach. II. FISCAL IMPACT: This project is expected to cost $35,000 in capital funds from the FY25 General Fund budget for the Town Council’s review and consideration. To: The Honorable Mayor and Town Council From: Holly Wahl, Town Administrator Subject: Bayside History Museum Date: March 7, 2024 I. BACKGROUND: The Bayside History Museum is requesting funding in FY25 for two display cases as outlined in Exhibit A per the March 4, 2024, request from Grace Mary Brady, President of the Museum. II. FISCAL IMPACT: Town Council to review the proposed cost outline (see Exhibit A). The proposed cost of $15,325 covers both sections for a preservation case for the Twin Beach Deputies Law Enforcement uniform as well as the North Beach Volunteer Fire Department (NBVFD) historical content for display and public access.  Exhibit A Bayside History Museum 4025 4th Street, North Beach, Maryland 410-610-5970 baysidehistorymuseum@hotmail.com www.baysidehistorymuseum.org March 4, 2024 TO: Mayor & Town Council Town of Chesapeake Beach FROM: Grace Mary Brady, President Bayside History Museum RE Budget request In 2026 the Bayside History Museum will provide new exhibits for 2 anniversaries: Celebration of North Beach Volunteer Fire Department Incorporation in 1926. 1926 – 2026. Celebration and recognition of the 250 Anniversary of the American Revolution. 1976 – 2026. The Bayside History Museum has partnered with Huntingtown High School AP students under the supervision of Mr. James to create a new display for the American Revolution. We have met at the school and Mr. James is bringing the class to the museum this Saturday, March 9 th so that they can start designing their display. It will be wonderful to feature an exhibit created by students from one of our local high schools.

BACKGROUND: Council Vice President Fink requests that the Town Council consider exploring opportunities to offer recreational amenities to Town residents through a reimbursement model. It is proposed that Town residents can receive reimbursement from the Town for a set amount of $50 per household as a contribution towards any Calvert County Parks and Recreation activity to promote health and general wellness. II. FISCAL IMPACT: Estimating that all households are single family households and participate in the offering, the General Fund expenditure would be approximately $125,000 accounting for a $50 reimbursement per household. Considerations: 1) Households that are not primary residential dwellings with renters, estimated at approximately 500 dwellings. 2) Dwellings with more than one family residing in the dwelling.
