When major portions of the Franklin-to-Fort area were annexed by the City in the mid 1990s, a serious deficiency in hydrants was noted. The City planned to install additional fire hydrants and bring the area into compliance with fire code requirements. More recently, the fire department, Mountain Water Company, and the Franklin-to-Fort neighborhood council developed an installation plan to add additional hydrants over a three year period. The plan was implemented in 2005 when six new fire hydrants were installed by Mountain Water. The plan stalled with the rate case involving Mountain Water. With the resulting Public Service Commission ruling to charge ratepayers / users for maintenance and fire flow costs, Mountain Water is no longer willing to absorb the costs of installing new hydrants. This proposal will complete the hydrant installation plan and provide necessary infrastructure in the Franklin-to-Fort area. Costs are based upon preliminary estimates provided by Mountain Water Co. on March 23, 2007, and include hydrants, valves, piping, design and installation. We have added 5% / year for inflation. One hydrant was installed in FY09 by developer. City will install 3 in FY09 funded by the General Fund. CDBG will install 3 more in May of 2009. 4 hydrants are scheduled for FY 2011.

This criterion includes Federal or State grants which require local X participation. Indicate the Grant name and number in the comment column. 3. Is this project urgently required? Will de- lay result in curtailment of an essential ser- vice? This statement should be checked "Yes" only if an emergency is clearly indi- X cated; otherwise, answer "No". If "Yes", be sure to give full justification. 4. Does the project provide for and/or im- prove public health and/or public safety?

Total Score 48 Adequate fire flows are essential for effective fire suppression and property conservation. Additional hydrants are required to meet NFPA-1 UFC requirements for hydrant spacing. This standard has been adopted by the City and is met throughout the urban area. Yes. This project specifically relates to the City's strategic planning goals under both Community Livability (planning & infrastructure) and Community Involvement (citizen concerns). The need for additional hydrants in annexed areas is also referenced in the 2006 Comprehensive Fire Master Plan. Quantitative Analysis Comments The cost of the additional hydrants is minimal compared to the value of the property they are used to protect. The ten hydrants proposed will provide fire suppression water supply for approximately 500 properties. Please see notes for additional cost benefit analysis. This area has been in need of additional hydrants since it was annexed into the City. As Fire Station 3 will be out of service from April through October, response times to this area are impacted and there is a heightened need for speedy implementation. Fire hydrants are essential infrastructure that provide for public health and safety. They provide a water supply necessary to control and extinguish fires. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (See C.I.P.
