The combined annual income shall be based on adding together the income received during the preceding calendar year, without regard to whether a tax return is actually filed, by (i) owners of the dwelling who use it as their principal residence, (ii) owners' relatives who live in the dwelling, except for those relatives living in the dwelling and providing bona fide caregiving services to the owner whether such relatives are compensated or not, and (iii) nonrelatives of the owner who live in the dwelling except for bona fide tenants or bona fide caregivers of the owner, whether compensated or not, shall not exceed twenty- five thousand ($25,000.00) dollars per year; provided that the first four thousand ($4,000.00) dollars of annual income of each relative/nonrelative, other than the spouse of the owner, shall not be included in such totals; and 2.

Notwithstanding Section 6-6(5) herein, a change in ownership or a nonqualifying individual, when such change resulted solely from the death of the qualifying individual, or a sale of such property shall result in a prorated exemption for the then current taxable year.

An exemption or deferral enacted pursuant to § 58.1-3210 or 58.1-3211.1 may be granted for any year following the date that the qualifying individual occupying such dwelling and owning title or partial title thereto reaches the age of 65 years or for any year following the date the disability occurred. Changes in income, financial worth, ownership of property or other factors occurring during the taxable year for which an affidavit is filed and having the effect of exceeding or violating the limitations and conditions provided by county, city or town ordinance shall nullify any exemption or deferral for the remainder of the current taxable year and the taxable year immediately following. However, any locality may by ordinance provide a prorated exemption or deferral for the portion of the taxable year during which the taxpayer qualified for such exemption or deferral. B. An ordinance enacted pursuant to this article may provide that a change in ownership to a spouse or a nonqualifying individual, when such change resulted solely from the death of the qualifying individual, or a sale of such property shall result in a prorated exemption or deferral for the then current taxable year. The proceeds of the sale which would result in the prorated exemption or deferral shall not be included in the computation of net worth or income as provided in subsection A. Such prorated portion shall be determined by multiplying the amount of the exemption or deferral by a fraction wherein the number of complete months of the year such property was properly eligible for such exemption or deferral is the numerator and the number 12 is the denominator. C. An ordinance enacted pursuant to this article may provide that an individual who does not qualify for the exemption or deferral under this article based upon the previous year's income limitations and financial worth limitations, may nonetheless qualify for the current year by filing an affidavit that clearly shows a substantial change of circumstances, that was not volitional on the part of the individual to become eligible for the exemption or deferral, and will result in income and financial worth levels that are within the limitations of the ordinance. The ordinance may impose additional conditions and require other information under this subsection. The locality may prorate the exemption or deferral from the date the affidavit is submitted or any other date. Any exemption or deferral under this subsection must be conditioned upon the individual filing another affidavit after the end of the year in which the exemption or deferral was granted, within a period of time specified by the locality, showing that the actual income and financial worth levels were within the limitations set by the ordinance. If the actual income and financial worth levels exceeded the limitations any exemption or deferral shall be nullified for the current taxable year and the taxable year immediately following.

In any year in which a general reassessment is being made, the property owner may submit such application until 30 days have elapsed after his notice of increase in assessment is mailed in accordance with § 58.1-3330, or 60 days preceding the tax year, whichever is later; or 3. In any locality which has adopted a fiscal tax year under Chapter 30 (§ 58.1-3000 et seq.), but continues to assess as of January 1, such application shall be submitted for any year at least 60 days preceding the effective date of the assessment for such year. The governing body, by ordinance, may permit applications to be filed within no more than 60 days after the filing deadline specified herein, upon the payment of a late filing fee to be established by the governing body. In addition, a locality may, by ordinance, permit a further extension of the filing deadline specified herein, upon payment of an extension fee to be established by the governing body in an amount not to exceed the late filing fee, to a date not later than 30 days after notices of assessments are mailed.

An application shall be submitted whenever the use or acreage of such land previously approved changes; however, no application fee may be required when a change in acreage occurs solely as a result of a conveyance necessitated by governmental action or condemnation of a portion of any land previously approved for taxation on the basis of use assessment. The governing body of any locality may, however, require any such property owner to revalidate at least every six years with such locality, on or before the date on which the last installment of property tax prior to the effective date of the assessment is due, on forms prepared by the locality, any applications previously approved.

An application fee may be required to accompany all such applications. In the event of a material misstatement of facts in the application or a material change in such facts prior to the date of assessment, such application for taxation based on use assessment granted thereunder shall be void and the tax for such year extended on the basis of value determined under § 58.1-3236 D.

By enrolling in the Program, the County would be paid once per year, even if the generators are not called upon. There is a requirement that the generators be tested once per year at a specific time, to insure their operation. County Staff would propose enrolling the generators at the Courthouse, Jail, and the 911 Center, for a total of 333 kilowatts. Based on this load, over a three (3)-year period, the County would be paid somewhere within the range of $26,520 to $35,360. For your review and consideration, attached please find a copy of NCS’ Proposal and a revenue estimate. FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE: Based on the projected revenue estimate, the County would anticipate receiving approximately $30,000 over a three (3)-year period, with limited costs.

For your review and consideration, copies of both Proposals are attached. FINANCIAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE: The County will be responsible for 5% of the total cost for both Projects. Prior to completion, funds would have to be allocated from the General Fund. Actual Project costs will not be available until after bids are received. RECOMMENDATION: County Staff recommends the Board authorize the County Administrator to execute the attached Dewberry Agreements as presented. MOTION: “I make a Motion to authorize the County Administrator to execute the attached Agreements 12.c Packet Pg. 215 with Dewberry as presented.” 12.c Packet Pg. 216 Page 1 of 5 March 4, 2019 Mr. David Hoback Executive Director West Piedmont Planning District Commission (WPPDC) 1100 Madison Street Martinsville, VA 24112 RE: Ringgold Rail Trail and Bridge Partial Assessment Ringgold, Virginia Dear Mr. Hoback: Dewberry Engineers, Inc. (Dewberry) appreciates this opportunity to present our scope of work and cost proposal for professional engineering services for an engineering investigation of the condition of the Ringgold Rail Trail and partial collapse of the five-span ashlar stone masonry arch structure. Dewberry understands that Pittsylvania County (County) is pursuing funding from FEMA and this proposal covers part of the requirements to obtain that funding. The following contains our understanding of the project, scope of services, schedule consideration and proposed fees for the work. The County wishes to utilize our on-call services agreement with WPPDC to complete these services. UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT In the aftermath of Hurricane Michael flooding along Sandy Creek near Ringgold resulted in damage to Ringgold Rail Trail and the partial collapse of a stone arch bridge that carries a portion of that trail. The bridge is presently closed to all traffic pending further investigation. Pittsylvania County (the County) is seeking professional services for assessing the structural condition of the existing bridge and devising a plan to reopen the trail. For the purposes of this project, Dewberry will provide an assessment of approximately four (4) miles of the trail spanning from Route 655 (Shawnee Road) trail head to access point on Kerns Church Road. Dewberry understands that the County owns 25’ on each side of the old rail bed which translates to a 50’ total width trail right-of-way. The existing bridge on the trail system over Sandy Creek is five-span, Ashlar stone masonry arch structure believed to have been constructed by the railroad circa 1915 and retrofitted from open-deck to ballasted deck superstructure between 1925 and 1927. In 1934 the railroad (Southern Railway Company) made soundings at two of the four supporting piers that determined the masonry piers were founded on two mats of 8x10 timbers projecting 18” past the masonry and resting on a foundation of sand. The pier heights were measured at approximately 56 feet from base of rail to bottom of masonry at Pier 3 and approximately 58 feet at Pier 5. The height from base of rail to normal waterline was measured at approximately 50 feet. Due to the storm damage, this section of the trail, including the existing bridge, was closed immediately after the collapse of Pier 4 was discovered. There are anticipated to be multiple areas of the trail which will require extensive remediation work to make necessary repairs allowing the trail to be reopened. The damage includes severe erosion and washout at multiple locations, the damage/removal of several pipe culverts and additional damage directly related to flooding from the storm. As to the bridge, the collapsed pier left the span between Pier 3 and Pier 5 suspended without direct support and in an apparent unsafe condition for traffic. The first part of the proposed work then will be to investigate and assess the 12.c.a Packet Pg. 217 Attachment: 2019.03.04 -Richmond-Danville Trail Sandy Cr Bridge Investigation - Prop_ (1540 : Award of Engineering Contracts for Ringgold Mr. David Hoback March 4, 2019 Page 2 of 5 condition of both the trail itself along with the remaining structure and, to the extent practicable, determine the prospects for repair, restoration of service or stabilization of the remnants. The second part of the work will focus on alternatives to re-open the county trail across Sandy Creek. Alternatives may possibly involve restoring the existing structure, bridging the breach in the existing structure, or a parallel route across Sandy Creek. SCOPE OF SERVICES Dewberry proposes to provide the Scope of Services described below in support of restoring the Ringgold Rail Trail and Sandy Creek trail crossing. Kick-Off Meeting As an initial activity, Dewberry will initiate and moderate a kick-off meeting with the County and FEMA representatives. We propose that at least one staff member from each discipline (structural, hydraulics, geotechnical and site/civil) will attend the kick-off meeting. Dewberry will prepare a project work plan that will describe project tasks, linkages of the tasks, responsibilities and assignments, project controls, and project schedule. The kick-off meeting will allow the County and Dewberry to review and endorse the project work plan and schedule. Topics addressed at the kick-off meeting will include: Initial data requests Project schedule Individual and team responsibilities Lines of communication Coordination with the County Overall project mission, goals, and objectives Discussion of the QA/QC program At the conclusion of the kick-off meeting, the project work plan and a meeting summary package will be distributed to all team members and stakeholders designated by the County. BRIDGE ASSESSMENT Structural Investigation Services Dewberry will perform the structural investigation services for the Sandy Creek stone arch bridge in general accordance with the applicable national standards, state standards and FEMA guidelines. Structural investigation will be led by Matt Payne, PE. A bridge inspection will be conducted in accordance with the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS). The Inspection team will consist of the inspection manager, lead structural engineer/NBI Team Lead Inspector, and a field inspector. At a minimum, inspections are conducted by a two-member team familiar with bridge elements and visual inspection procedures. The team will review the inspection plan prior to field work to identify safety concerns, understand the inspection sequence, and verify the required equipment to execute the plan. Dewberry will visually inspect all accessible structural elements and provide a rating for each element on a scale of 1 to 10. The priority of the inspector is to provide non-destructive testing to verify the condition of the various elements. Since the subject structure consists of Ashlar masonry arches with concrete superstructure and shallow foundations, Dewberry will be inspecting for concrete deterioration, exposed and corroded steel reinforcement, tightness, evenness, alignment and condition of masonry joints, warping and misalignment major components and probing for undermining of the foundations utilizing 12.c.a Packet Pg. 218 Attachment: 2019.03.04 -Richmond-Danville Trail Sandy Cr Bridge Investigation - Prop_ (1540 : Award of Engineering Contracts for Ringgold Mr. David Hoback March 4, 2019 Page 3 of 5 non-destructive test methods. The inspector will report deficient elements and note the locations on the structure. Dewberry will perform the inspection of the bridge within the limits afforded for safe access to the structural elements. Dewberry proposes to utilize any suitable lift or boom equipment from the County if available for the inspection, or to pass-through any direct expenses for renting suitable inspection lift or boom equipment for access to the structure. Dewberry will perform the following specific tasks: Visual inspection and Structural Observations – Dewberry’s structural staff will perform a direct visual inspection of the structure to identify structurally significant defects in the existing conditions. Defects will be documented in field notes and photographs. Measurements – Measurements will be taken to verify information from available railroad documents and provide additional information for the structural analysis and evaluation. Structural Analysis– Dewberry will perform an analysis of the structure in its current condition to establish the basic structural requirements for repair and restoration. An inspection report will be produced documenting representative field observations, photographs, site conditions and structural analysis (stability/load rating) results. Condition Assessment & Feasibility Study for Stabilization, Repair or Restoration and Replacement Dewberry will perform a condition assessment of the structure based on the structural inspection and structural analysis of the bridge. From the condition assessment we will identify feasible alternatives for stabilizing the bridge with limited repairs and strengthening, repairing the bridge for return to service and restoring the bridge to its previous configuration. The alternates will be developed to a conceptual level and compared for viability. The number of alternatives studied will be limited to three. A recommended alternate will be presented for acceptance. Preliminary Design Based on the structural evaluation and the results from the feasibility study, the selected alternative concept will be developed into a preliminary engineering design. The design will be performed in accordance LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 2015 edition with supplements, the AASHTO Pedestrian Bridge Guidelines and the County’s applicable criteria. The drawings will be developed in digital electronic media using Micro Station or Auto Cad (County preference) and delivered in PDF digital format and printed form, if requested. The Deliverable is a set of preliminary plan sheets that include and general plan view, elevation view and typical section and a general sequence of construction concept. The base preliminary design is for repairing the existing bridge and returning it to service, if feasible, or for partial removal and stabilizing the remnants of the existing stone arch bridge for preservation purposes if return to services is not feasible. The optional preliminary design is for a new creek crossing to replace the existing bridge on new alignment. Preliminary design task includes the preliminary opinion probable cost. Geotechnical Evaluation As a subconsultant to Dewberry, Froehling & Robertson, Inc. (F&R) will perform soil test borings and provide foundation recommendations for the project. The base services will include borings drilled near the existing bridge pier locations for the purpose of assessing the site for foundation stabilization and repairs. The optional services would be necessary if a new crossing of the creek is the selected alternate and will include borings drilled parallel to the existing bridge at four locations for a possible detour 12.c.a Packet Pg. 219 Attachment: 2019.03.04 -Richmond-Danville Trail Sandy Cr Bridge Investigation - Prop_ (1540 : Award of Engineering Contracts for Ringgold Mr. David Hoback March 4, 2019 Page 4 of 5 crossing of the creek. For the details of the geotechnical scope of services see F&R’s technical proposal (attached). At the completion of the field exploration and laboratory classification, geotechnical engineering analysis will be performed by a Virginia licensed professional engineer. The deliverable will consist of the geotechnical investigation results presented in a bridge inventory and foundation recommendations report that will include supporting documentation. Hydrology and Hydraulics A hydraulic study must be performed for the new crossing as part of the preliminary design of that alternate. Under this task Dewberry will perform a limited bridge hydraulic evaluation for this project. The bridge hydraulic analysis will include the following: Site visit to observe stream channel, existing structure, and obtain photographs Estimate the drainage area for the site. Obtain approximate discharges from USGS regression equations. Obtain six floodplain and stream channel cross sections from field surveys Obtain field survey of bridge deck and bridge openings Prepare hydraulic analysis for 50%, 10%, 4%, 2% 1%, and 0.2% annual chance storm events using HECRAS. Estimate the local pier scour and contraction scour from HECRAS using grain-size data from site samples. Deliverable is a technical memorandum that summarizes the HECRAS model results and scour computations for the selected structural crossing and includes supporting technical data. Survey Dewberry will perform a limited field survey to set two temporary benchmarks at the site. Dewberry will perform a topographic and hydraulics survey of the site, including stream top of bank, channel and flood plain limits for Sandy Creek for approximately 100 LF on each side of the existing bridge. We will use available GIS, LIDAR and aerial mapping data from the County along with field survey data to create a preliminary base map file for the project. The deliverable will be a CAD file suitable for use to develop design plans. Overall Bridge Assessment Deliverable Upon completion of the tasks described above, a written report will be prepared, in general accordance with FEMA guidelines, outlining the findings. The report will also include two (2) cost estimates. The first estimate will include work and materials to repair the bridge to a pre-storm condition and the second estimate will include costs for constructing a new bridge crossing. TRAIL ASSESSMENT Site/Civil Assessment of Trail and Drainage Features In general accordance with current FEMA guidelines, Dewberry will assess the section of the trail noted above. Dewberry personnel will walk the trail route and document the areas requiring attention and the assessment will include dimensions of the affected areas, photos of damage, and GIS locations. Throughout the process, Dewberry will coordinate intermediate approvals with the County and FEMA to ensure data is collected and reported in an appropriate manner. During this process, Dewberry will determine applicable permitting necessary for remediation work. Such permits/approvals may include the US Army Corps of Engineers wetland permits/approvals, VADEQ wetland permits/approvals and all necessary local review processes. Upon completion of data collection, a report will be prepared outlining 12.c.a Packet Pg. 220 Attachment: 2019.03.04 -Richmond-Danville Trail Sandy Cr Bridge Investigation - Prop_ (1540 : Award of Engineering Contracts for Ringgold Mr. David Hoback March 4, 2019 Page 5 of 5 the findings along with two (2) cost estimates that will be compiled.
