STAFF COMMENTS, PAGE 1
MARCH 18, 2015
4.h. Mandatory Referral [2015-705] to vacate a drainage easement at 4432 Veterans
Parkway, Kroger Limited Partnership I applicant.
Kroger has requested the abandonment of a drainage easement in conjunction with the
development of its proposed store at the northeast corner of Franklin Road and Veterans
Parkway. This drainage easement was assigned to Rutherford County during the purchase of
right-of-way and easements for Veterans Parkway. Upon annexation, the City became
responsible for the operation and maintenance of this easement and the drainage system it
contains. If the Planning Commission approves this mandatory referral, Staff recommends the
following conditions of approval:
1) The applicant should provide documentation that Rutherford County has waived its right
to this easement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
2) The applicant should provide a legal description and exhibit for the City Attorney to
prepare the quitclaim deed.
3) Prior to recording the quitclaim, an alternate easement must be dedicated for the
relocated drainage system.
4) The applicant should demonstrate functional hydraulic equivalency between the existing
drainage system and the relocated drainage system.

STAFF COMMENTS, PAGE 1
MARCH 18, 2015
5.c. The Fountains at Gateway [2015-3002 & 2015-6004] mandatory referral for
easement dedication and Phase 1 final design review and site plan review
for multiple buildings totaling 111,100 ft2 on 12.32 acres zoned MU & GDO-3
located along Medical Center Parkway, Hearthstone Group, LLC developer.
This is the final design review and site plan review for Phase 1 of a new multi-building office and
retail development. The proposed uses are permitted by right within the MU and GDO-3
districts. The Planning Commission approved initial design review for this development at its
February 18, 2015 meeting. At that time, the applicant identified one variance needed in order
to move forward with the project as designed. The variance pertains to the required base of
building landscaping around the retail storefronts. The Planning Commission did not object to
the proposed variance and gave its blessing for the applicant to move forward in requesting this
variance to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). The variance request is scheduled to be heard
by the BZA on March 25, 2015. The applicant now seeks approval for final design review and
site plan review. Any approval of final design review and site plan review should be made
contingent upon the BZA granting the requested variance.
The design team and the developer should address the comments below prior to final design
review at the Planning Commission on March 18. Staff recommends that any approval of this
request be made subject to all staff comments.
Mandatory Referral
To accommodate the phased approach for this project, easements will be required across both
the Phase 1 property and the remainder property owned by the City. The developer and design
team should coordinate with City staff to identify the needed easements. Additionally, legal
descriptions and/or platting may be needed to describe the nature and extent of the easements.
Easements currently identified include access, Greenway, water, sanitary sewer, sanitary sewer
force main, reuse water drainage, grading, and temporary construction.

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council:
CONSENT AGENDA
RE: A.: Request to Pursue Intergovernmental Agreement with Rutherford County for
Cooperative Computer-Aided CAD
B.: Request to Receive Funding from RCECD for Computer-Aided Dispatch Upgrade
ITEM A: Request to Pursue Intergovernmental Agreement with Rutherford County for
Cooperative Computer-Aided CAD
As an item for the consent agenda at the next scheduled Council meeting, it is the recommendation
of the Chief of Police that City Council approve the request to pursue an Intergovernmental
Agreement with Rutherford County for Cooperative Computer-Aided CAD and to authorize the Legal
Department to begin the process of forming an Intergovernmental Agreement between the agencies
to proceed with the cooperative CAD system.
Background
Purpose:
Enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with Rutherford County for Cooperative Computer-Aided
CAD.
Scope of Work:
On January 9. 2015, RCSO presented Rutherford County Emergency Communications District
(RCECD) with a grant proposal to upgrade their CAD system to the Tritech Inform product of which
we are currently under contract at this time. With the merger of Visionair and Tritech in 2011, we
would be migrating to their Inform CAD and Records products in the future. Tritech offered the
RCSO the opportunity, if approved by City Management, to implement the Tritech CAD system from
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Consent Agenda Request
March 31, 2015
our existing contract and provide a cooperative redundant system between the agencies. This would
provide data sharing between our law enforcement agencies and between RCEMS and
Murfreesboro Fire and Rescue.
Fiscal Impact
There is no Fiscal Impact to the City for this agreement.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve the request to pursue an Intergovernmental Agreement
with Rutherford County for Cooperative Computer-Aided CAD and to authorize the Legal
Department to begin the process of forming an Intergovernmental Agreement between the agencies
to proceed with the cooperative CAD system.

ITEM B: Request to Receive Funding from RCECD for Computer-Aided Dispatch Upgrade
As an item for the consent agenda at the next scheduled Council meeting, it is the recommendation
of the Chief of Police that City Council approve the request to receive funding from the Rutherford
County Emergency Communications District (RCECD) for Computer-Aided Dispatch upgrade.
Background
Purpose:
To receive funding from RCECD for Computer-Aided Dispatch upgrade.
Scope of Work:
In a grant proposal RCSO presented to RCECD, the cost breakdown for the upgrades was $457,650
for the County and $151,675 for the City. While we had not planned for our portion to be considered
at that meeting, a motion was made and passed to provide funding to Murfreesboro for our upgrade
cost to the Tritech CAD system. This cost is only for project management and training for the
Telecommunicators on the newer software. All software upgrade costs are included in our annual
maintenance budget.
This is an opportunity for our departments to begin sharing a multitude of data between agencies.
The RCSO plans to proceed with adding the Records Management and Jail Management modules
in the future. This would allow for data to flow automated between an original call for service to the
jail booking process and eliminate redundant paperwork for our employees. It will also allow for

warrant and jail information to be ported to our Mobile system to provide officers with current
information in the field.
Fiscal Impact
If approved, this cost ($151,675) will be paid out of Unforeseen and will be reimbursed by RCECD
upon presentation of payments by the City.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve the request receive funding from RCECD for Computer-
Aided Dispatch upgrade.

E. SRWTP Hydrogen Peroxide Addition
Background
The City Council and the Water and Sewer Board approved for Staff to work with Smith Seckman Reid
(SSR) on the development of a scope for design and construction of a hydrogen peroxide feed system
based upon the results of the disinfection by-product study submitted in December 2013.
SSR was approved to complete the design in February 2014 and bids were received on October 28, 2014.
As the attached memo from SSR describes, the bids came in substantially over budget.
In lieu of rejecting all bids and rebidding the project, the City’s Legal Department agreed with the
approach of accepting a deductive change order from the low bidder, W&O Construction, contingent
upon the other bidders being disinterested in a rebid due to the diminished scope and contract amount.
SSR, having thorough knowledge of the other contractors who bid the project, stated their opinion that
cutting the project by 65% would diminish any interest from the original bidders to participate in a rebid.
The attached change order effectively reduces the bid submitted by W&O Construction for the Hydrogen
Peroxide feed system from $1,192,000 to $416,023 (a reduction of $775,977 or 65 percent from the
original bid price). The Department’s original budget was $355,000 from working capital reserves.
Concurrences
The Water and Sewer Board recommended approval at its meeting of March 24, 2015.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council award the Stones River Water Treatment Plant Hydrogen Peroxide
Addition to W&O Construction with the associated deductive change order in the above referenced
amount.
Fiscal Impact
The construction cost of the project is $416,023, $61,023 over the original budgeted amount. All funding
is recommended to come from the working capital reserve account. The overage doesn’t substantially
impact the Department’s ability to fund its five (5) year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) from this
account.

F. Additional Temporary Flow Monitoring
Basin MF03
Background
Currently, the Department is contracted with ADS, LLC to operate and maintain the Department’s
nineteen (19) permanent flow monitors and seven (7) rain gauges, to analyze data recorded from these
Z:\engineering\2015\Darren\Council\ConsentAgenda04-02-15 eformat.docx
Council Consent Agenda
Page 7
monitors and to report on this data bi-annually. In addition to the permanent flow monitors, each winter
cycle which is December through May; staff elects a basin or two to install temporary flow monitors. The
temporary flow monitors allow staff to break down the chosen basin into smaller portions which allows
staff to isolate more easily where the problems may be.
This year staff chose Basins MF06 & MF07 to install temporary flow monitors. These were installed in
late January and staff believes that we received plenty of rain to show us our problem areas within these
basins. Since the trend of rain has been on the wet side this year, staff would like to continue the
temporary flow monitoring in another basin. We have decided that MF03 would be a good basin to
monitor. There are a few good reasons to continue to monitor in another basin. It has not been monitored
in the past, it is about mid-way in the ranking between the worst basin and the best basin for last year’s
winter period, it is contributing flow to a basin that has several known and reoccurring sewer overflows
and this additional information will allow staff to step up the sewer rehabilitation program and possibly
rehabilitate a larger portion than normal.
In order to continue the temporary flow monitoring, moving into Basin MF03, additional monies in the
amount of $30,000 would need to be added to the current budget and contract. This additional would
bring the contract amount with ADS up to $391,000 for this Year-2 of the contract.
Concurrences
The Water and Sewer Board recommended approval at its meeting of March 24, 2015.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve the additional funding of $30,000, from Working Capital
Reserves, to the Professional Services Agreement with ADS, LLC for this year, in order to continue the
temporary flow monitoring in Basin MF03.
Fiscal Impact
The ADS contract is funded from the regular budget number 938.000. This additional $30,000 would be
added to this budget number.
G. Task Order to Rebuild #1 Simflo Raw Water Pump
MWSD Water/Wastewater System Mechanical/Electrical Services Contract
Background
The Water and Sewer Board recommended and the City Council approved the MWSD Water/Wastewater
System Mechanical/Electrical Services Contract in January and February respectively. In the
Mechanical/Electrical Services Contract it included two (2) base-bid task orders, 15-01 and 15-02, along
with supplemental unit prices for outside labor and equipment services.
The intent of the Water/Wastewater System Mechanical/Electrical Services Contract was to prevent
bidding a project every time there is a mechanical or electrical need beyond the scope of the Department’s
staff. This allows for mechanical and electrical services to be performed promptly and ensures equipment
is returned to service as quickly as possible and protect the Department’s resources.
Staff has determined that the #1 Raw Water Pump at the river intake requires mechanical services to
repair that are outside the scope of the Department’s staff. This requirement was confirmed by three
Z:\engineering\2015\Darren\Council\ConsentAgenda04-02-15 eformat.docx
Council Consent Agenda
Page 8
outside mechanical contractors. As a result, staff requested John Bouchard & Sons to provide a task order
for these repairs. This task order includes labor and material to rebuild the #1 Raw Water pump; the
crane service and labor to pull, rebuild and reinstall the pump; and new shafts, bearings, wear rings,
couplings, seals, etc. This quote does not include new bowl housings, impellers, or columns. If upon
detailed examination of the pump after it is pulled any additional parts other than what is stated above are
needed, John Bouchard & Sons will request the Department’s approval. Lead time is expected to be
approximately two (2) weeks if no parts need to be ordered.
John Bouchard & Sons Co. has worked with the City in the past, as well as demonstrated acceptable
performance in constructing similar sized projects for other utilities.
Concurrences
The Water and Sewer Board recommended approval at its meeting of March 24, 2015.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve the task order from John Bouchard & Sons in the amount of
$27,120.00.
Fiscal Impact
The cost for rebuilding the #1 Simflo Raw Water Pump is estimated at $27,120.00. Funding would come
from working capital.

RE: Project Modifications
Water Treatment Plant Hydrogen Peroxide Addition
Murfreesboro Water and Sewer Department
Murfreesboro, Tennessee
SSR Job Number: 14-41-007.0
Dear Darren,
Bids for the above referenced project were received by the City of Murfreesboro Water and Sewer
Department (MWSD) at 2:00 p.m. CDT on October 28, 2014, and were read publicly. There were a total
of four bids submitted and opened. The total base bid prices for the three lowest bidders are listed below.
All prices are listed in the attached certified bid tabulation.
CONTRACTOR TOTAL BASE BID
W&O Construction Company $1,192,000.00
Richland $1,334,000.00
Smith Contractors $1,472,500.00
Unfortunately, these bids are considerably higher than expected. The original estimate of construction for
this project was approximately $355,000 after several large actuators were added to the scope of supply.
This estimate was increased to approximately $450,000 at the 20% Design Point; however the project
construction costs were not estimated again until the final plans had been submitted to the Tennessee
Department of Environment and Conservation for review. At that time, our estimate was approximately
$990,000.
There were a number of factors that contributed to this project exceeding the original estimate by this
degree. Admittedly, our original estimate of construction costs did not account for some of the aspects of
the project that were going to be required to construct a building to house the new hydrogen peroxide
feed system in the proposed location. During the preliminary design, a number of utilities were
determined to be in need of relocation to accommodate the building in the desired location. These
relocations account for a large portion of the overage. Also, the size of the building required to house the
new feed system was too large to allow use of a less costly precast building (cost used in the original
estimate) and resulted in the use of a more expensive brick and block masonry building (cost included in
later estimate). Further, the feed system was designed for year-round use versus seasonal use.
Even through the bid-day cost of the project was higher than expected, the City requested that Smith
Seckman Reid, Inc. (SSR) redesign the project. The City requested that the redesign reduce overall
project cost while keeping the general scope of work the same (i.e., continue providing a hydrogen
peroxide feed system and provide necessary valve actuators) because of the critical nature of the project.
The project is critical for the following reasons:

Tel: 615.383.1113 · Fax: 615.386.8469 · www.ssr-inc.com

• The hydrogen peroxide feed system is necessary during the warmer months of the year to control
formation of disinfection byproducts in the finished water as described in SSR’s technical
memorandum to the City dated December 2013.
• The valve actuator and vault additions are necessary to optimize treatment plant operations.
Currently plant staff must adjust one of the two valves frequently during daily operations to
maintain proper water level in the sedimentation basins to prevent wasting of the carbon dioxide
used for re-carbonation of the water (lowering the pH of the water to an acceptable level after
softening). The new actuator and level control will ensure that the sedimentation basin water
level is appropriate at all times. The second actuator is used to maintain appropriate back
pressure in the membrane filtered water to prevent air entrapment into the water that will cause
off-gassing in the granular activated carbon contactors that can cause air binding and other
operational and performance problems in the contactors. Because of the nature of the
membrane filter system, the necessary instantaneous adjustments of this control valve are not
possible with manual control and thus an automated motor actuator is required.
Because of the critical nature of the project and to reduce project costs, SSR has proposed the following
major modifications to the project:
• Delete the building that housed the hydrogen peroxide feed system and relocate the system to
the west side of the existing Pipe Gallery Building. The system will be located outdoors and the
existing metal canopy in the area will be extended to cover the system and protect the system
from the elements. With the deletion of the building, all mechanical/HVAC work and security
system components associated with the building were also deleted.
• Because the hydrogen peroxide feed system is only necessary during the warmer months, all
pipe heat tracing and insulation were deleted. As a result, plant personnel will need to drain all
exterior water and chemical lines associated with the system to prevent possible breakage during
the colder months.
• All chemical resistant finishes were deleted as they were not absolutely necessary for use with a
hydrogen peroxide system.
• Size of the bulk storage tank was reduced to 1,550 gallons (original design called for a 2,500-
gallon tank). This will necessitate more frequent chemical deliveries to the plant.
• Size of the day tank was increased to 405 gallons (from 105 gallons) to minimize frequency of
manual filling of the tank. A new transfer pump was added to convey chemical from the bulk tank
to the day tank. This pump was necessary as the day tank is now located much higher in
elevation than the bulk tank.
• One of the chemical feed pumps was eliminated from the scope of work as were several pump
accessories that were not absolutely necessary for pump operation.
Upon making these changes and with the City’s understanding, SSR approached W&O Construction
Company (W&O; apparent low bidder; see table above) to re-price the project based on the proposed
modifications. W&O said that the revised scope of work resulted in a new project price of $416,023.00 (a
reduction of $775,977.00 or 65 percent from the original bid price). SSR has reviewed the revised project
cost from W&O and in our opinion, the price appears to be reasonable for the revised scope of work.

We regret that this project exceeded MWSD’s original budget. We believe that the redesign has allowed
the general scope of the project to remain unchanged while altering the project in such a way that the
overall project cost is substantially reduced while meeting the needs of the City.
Please advise if the revised project cost and scope of work are acceptable. In anticipation of acceptance,
we have included with the letter six copies of the agreement between the City and the apparent low
bidder for execution by the City. We have also included Change Order No. 1 that makes all of the
necessary modifications to the original scope of work as well as adjusts the contract price from the
original bid price to the revised price provided by W&O. Please be advised that W&O agreed to hold their
original bid price until April 26, 2015.
Please contact us should you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
SMITH SECKMAN REID, INC.

REGULAR AGENDA
HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF MURFREESBORO CITY COUNCIL
RE: Resolution 15-O-27
You are asked to adopt Ordinance 15-O-27 relative to the composition of the Pension Committee.
Background
At the Mayor’s request, the Council considered and adopted Ordinance 14-O-19 which increased
the number of Pension Committee members from seven (7) to eight (8) and increased the number
of Committee members who could be Participants in the Plan from two (2) to three (3). It further
provided that at least one of the three participants could not be a City officer or department head.
This Ordinance took effect on May 31, 2014.
This change to the Pension Plan was made after the Council had adopted Ordinance 14-O-02
restating the Plan to meet IRS standards and certain other changes on first reading on January
16, 2014. The City had to wait for the IRS’ approval of the Plan before its final adoption which
took effect on November 21, 2014. Unfortunately, I overlooked the need to either amend
Ordinance 14-O-02 to include the provisions of Ordinance 14-O-19 before its passage on second
and third readings or to readopt Ordinance 14-O-19 immediately after restatement of the Plan.
The Ordinance before you corrects that oversight.
The Pension Committee has not met since November 12, 2014.
Financial Impact
None
Concurrences
None.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council adopt Ordinance 15-O-27 on first reading. It is presented as
an emergency so that the status of the Committee member can be clarified as quickly as possible.
