Bill Summary
READ
2ND AND REREFER
At
the Committee meeting’s outset, representatives from TECO Peoples Gas explained
what the impending pipeline modernization projects for San Marco and other
areas of the City entailed.
Jason
Roth, Regional Manager, TECO, Community Relations, introduced TECO officials
who explained the pipeline replacement projects and fielded questions.
David
Gerard, P.E., TECO Distribution Integrity Management, explained that the
purpose of the projects entailed modernizing and replacing existing outdated
gas pipes with newer and more resilient pipes.
The modernization programs that TECO is undertaking are at the behest of
the U.S. Department of Transportation and Florida’s Public Service Commission. The pipeline modernization program began in
2012.
Mr.
Gerard explained that the San Marco project entailed ten (10) miles of pipeline. There are permits for all of the
projects. TECO contracted Michael J.
Yuro, P.E., for assistance in acquiring necessary permits and engineering
expertise. He explained plans for three
phases for the San Marco project and envisions completion of the work in June
2019. Mr. Gerard referenced a map of San Marco thoroughfares that had been
distributed. He fielded numerous
questions. Council Member Boyer remarked
that it was imperative for TECO to provide assurances to the public that all
safety measures have been taken.
Chris
Barrington, TECO’s Territory Manager, North Florida, explained safety
precautions during construction for pipeline replacement. He explained the differences in the pipeline replacement
project in the Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts in 2017 that resulted in
explosions, property damage and injuries and the pipeline replacement program
that TECO will be undertaking. He
specifically alluded to the differences
in the systems’ design. Safety measures
will be in place with the San Marco project.
There
being no further business, the Committee meeting was adjourned at 3:15 P.M.

Other Notable Information
The

agreement, however, engineering for two neighborhoods is underway. Since
approval of the framework for the septic tank phase out program (Bill
2016-490-E) in August of 2016, two neighborhoods, Biltmore and Beverly Hills,
have reached the 70% threshold required to move the projects forward. The
current schedule reflects engineering for Biltmore will conclude in early 2019
with construction bids due in late April 2019 and construction commencing June
2019. Engineering for Beverly Hills began in November 2018.
