In 2004, the services were expanded to the City of Danville. HPCS, under the direction of the Halifax County Board of Supervisors, currently provides Local Community Corrections Services, which includes local probation and related components, and Pretrial Services in the Counties of Halifax and Pittsylvania, and the City of Danville. Services provided to all three (3) Court levels include local probation supervision, community service, substance abuse testing and treatment, substance abuse screening and assessment, monitoring payment of court costs and restitution, employment assistance, educational assistance, anger management groups, pretrial investigation, and pretrial supervision. HPCS’s mission is to provide alternatives, prior to and after sentencing, to all Court levels, utilizing evidence-based practices to contribute to the reduction of recidivism for probation, and the reduction of failure to appear rates and new arrests for pretrial services. All local probation officers with HPCS perform their jobs in accordance with Virginia Code § 9.1-176.1, and pretrial officers with HPCS perform their job duties in accordance with Virginia Code § 19.2-152.4:3. All Program Staff follow the Minimum Standards for Local Community Corrections and Pretrial Services, as well as all regulations and guidelines issued by DCJS. HPCS Staff supervise probationers/defendants in accordance with Evidence-Based Practices. In February 2020, Grant funds were available for expansion of services, and HPCS applied to obtain funds to expand services to Henry, Patrick and Franklin Counties, and the City of Martinsville, which are four (4) of five (5) localities in Virginia that do not have either local probation or pretrial services. HPCS was awarded the funds effective July 1, 2020; however, the State funds were frozen until January 1, 2021, when these were officially awarded.

WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the parties entered into the Performance Agreement dated as of December 21, 2020 (“Performance Agreement”) to which this Agreement is attached pursuant to which the Commission will make a Grant to the Locality that the Locality will use to induce the Company to undertake the Project, thereby making a Capital Investment and creating New Jobs in the Locality; and WHEREAS, if the Project is completed, the Locality will realize additional Local Tax Revenue and desires to share a portion of that Local Tax Revenue with the Commission: NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual benefits, promises and undertakings of the parties to this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as follows. 1.

(For example, if the Performance Agreement is dated 2020, the Company paid $50,000 of Local Taxes in 2019, and the Company paid $75,000 of Local Taxes in 2021, the New Tax Revenue for 2021 would be $25,000.) 2.

Payment Period: The Locality will continue to pay Revenue Sharing Payments to the Commission until the total amount of Revenue Sharing Payments the Locality has paid to the Commission equals 105% of the Earned Grant Funds. The Locality’s obligation to pay Revenue Sharing Payments is contingent upon its receipt of tax payments from the Company and is subject to the Locality’s receipt of appropriations sufficient to make such payments. The Locality’s chief executive officer agrees to use his or her best efforts to secure the necessary appropriations. 4. Commission Reimbursement to Locality: In the event Company does not meet its Targets in full, the Commission shall reimburse to the Locality within 120 days of the Performance Date, as defined in the Performance Agreement and as applicable, the amount of Revenue Sharing Payments received by the Commission from the Locality that exceed 105% of Earned Grant Funds. 5. Incorporation by Reference: Sections 8 (Notices) and 9 (Miscellaneous) of the Performance Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the parties entered into the Performance Agreement dated as of December 21, 2020 (“Performance Agreement”) to which this Agreement is attached pursuant to which the Commission will make a Grant to the Locality that the Locality will use to induce the Company to undertake the Project, thereby making a Capital Investment and creating New Jobs in the Locality; and WHEREAS, if the Project is completed, the Locality will realize additional Local Tax Revenue and desires to share a portion of that Local Tax Revenue with the Commission: NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual benefits, promises and undertakings of the parties to this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as follows. 1. Definitions: Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the same definitions as set forth in the Performance Agreement. “Local Taxes” means the tax payments the Locality receives from the Company as a result of local assessments (including any entities owned by, affiliated with, or under common control with the Company) pursuant to Title 58.1, Subtitle III of the Code of Virginia, including, but limited to, real property taxes, business, professional and occupational license taxes, machinery and tools taxes, and tangible personal property taxes. “New Tax Revenue” means the sum of Local Taxes generated in connection with or attributable to the Project that the Company pays to the Locality, directly or indirectly. If the Project involves the expansion of the Facility or the Company’s operations in the Locality, the New Tax Revenue for a given tax year is the amount of Local Taxes the Company paid in excess of the amount of Local Taxes the Company paid for the tax year immediately preceding the date of the Performance Agreement. (For example, if the Performance Agreement is dated 2020, the Company paid $50,000 of Local Taxes in 2019, and the Company paid $75,000 of Local Taxes in 2021, the New Tax Revenue for 2021 would be $25,000.) 2.

Payment Period: The Locality will continue to pay Revenue Sharing Payments to the Commission until the total amount of Revenue Sharing Payments the Locality has paid to the Commission equals 105% of the Earned Grant Funds. The Locality’s obligation to pay Revenue Sharing Payments is contingent upon its receipt of tax payments from the Company and is subject to the Locality’s receipt of appropriations sufficient to make such payments. The Locality’s chief executive officer agrees to use his or her best efforts to secure the necessary appropriations. 4. Commission Reimbursement to Locality: In the event Company does not meet its Targets in full, the Commission shall reimburse to the Locality within 120 days of the Performance Date, as defined in the Performance Agreement and as applicable, the amount of Revenue Sharing Payments received by the Commission from the Locality that exceed 105% of Earned Grant Funds. 5.

Net new jobs in the Commonwealth for contractors or employees of contractors who provide dedicated full-time service to the Company may count as New Jobs, even though the Company is not directly paying the wages or providing the fringe benefits, if the other conditions 7.k.a Packet Pg. 86 Attachment: IPG TROF Grant - Impala (2378 : IPG TROF LPA and Other Related Documents Approval (Staff Contact: Matthew D.

Any further extensions will require the approval of the Commission’s governing body.

Further, the Company shall provide such progress reports at such other times as the Locality or the Commission may reasonably require. If the Company wishes to count as Capital Investments the capital expenditures made on its behalf by a lessor or a developer of the Facility, the Company is responsible for assembling and distributing the documentation necessary to verify the capital expenditures made on behalf of the Company. If the Company wishes to count as New Jobs employees of contractors, to the extent permitted in the definition of “New Jobs” in Section 1, the Company is responsible for assembling and distributing the documentation necessary to verify such New Jobs, including whether such jobs are net New Jobs in the Commonwealth.

WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the parties entered into the Performance Agreement dated as of December 21, 2020 (“Performance Agreement”) to which this Agreement is attached pursuant to which the Commission will make a Grant to the Locality that the Locality will use to induce the Company to undertake the Project, thereby making a Capital Investment and creating New Jobs in the Locality; and WHEREAS, if the Project is completed, the Locality will realize additional Local Tax Revenue and desires to share a portion of that Local Tax Revenue with the Commission: NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual benefits, promises and undertakings of the parties to this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as follows. 1. Definitions: Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the same definitions as set forth in the Performance Agreement. “Local Taxes” means the tax payments the Locality receives from the Company as a result of local assessments (including any entities owned by, affiliated with, or under common control with the Company) pursuant to Title 58.1, Subtitle III of the Code of Virginia, including, but limited to, real property taxes, business, professional and occupational license taxes, machinery and tools taxes, and tangible personal property taxes. “New Tax Revenue” means the sum of Local Taxes generated in connection with or attributable to the Project that the Company pays to the Locality, directly or indirectly. If the Project involves the expansion of the Facility or the Company’s operations in the Locality, the New Tax Revenue for a given tax year is the amount of Local Taxes the Company paid in excess of the amount of Local Taxes the Company paid for the tax year immediately preceding the date of the Performance Agreement. (For example, if the Performance Agreement is dated 2020, the Company paid $50,000 of Local Taxes in 2019, and the Company paid $75,000 of Local Taxes in 2021, the New Tax Revenue for 2021 would be $25,000.) 2. Revenue Sharing: Starting with the first tax year that begins after the Award Date of the Performance Agreement, the Locality will pay to the Commission an amount equal to 5% of the 7.k.a Packet Pg. 98 Attachment: IPG TROF Grant - Impala (2378 : IPG TROF LPA and Other Related Documents Approval (Staff Contact: Matthew D. Rowe)) 15 New Tax Revenue (“Revenue Sharing Payments”). The Locality will make Revenue Sharing Payments within 45 days after the Locality receives Company’s payment of its Local Taxes. 3. Payment Period: The Locality will continue to pay Revenue Sharing Payments to the Commission until the total amount of Revenue Sharing Payments the Locality has paid to the Commission equals 105% of the Earned Grant Funds. The Locality’s obligation to pay Revenue Sharing Payments is contingent upon its receipt of tax payments from the Company and is subject to the Locality’s receipt of appropriations sufficient to make such payments. The Locality’s chief executive officer agrees to use his or her best efforts to secure the necessary appropriations. 4. Commission Reimbursement to Locality: In the event Company does not meet its Targets in full, the Commission shall reimburse to the Locality within 120 days of the Performance Date, as defined in the Performance Agreement and as applicable, the amount of Revenue Sharing Payments received by the Commission from the Locality that exceed 105% of Earned Grant Funds. 5. Incorporation by Reference: Sections 8 (Notices) and 9 (Miscellaneous) of the Performance Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

Executive Summary Pittsylvania County Community Action, Inc. (PCCA) Housing Department identified the Gunn Garland Road neighborhood, located due east of Danville, as in need of improved living conditions. There are approximately fifteen (15) residents indicating interest in the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, which includes bringing homes within Section 8 Housing Standards, as well as access to public water and sewer. These improvements will improve the overall health and living conditions of residents in the Gunn Garland Road community. PCCA presented this project to the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors in May 2018, was granted approval to apply for a CDBG for funding, was awarded the funds, and Pittsylvania County will be serving as the financial agent for the project. PCCA has since conducted the initial public meeting, formed a management team, completed neighborhood surveys, and performed preliminary infrastructure assessments. The summary report for the project indicates need for housing rehabilitation, improvements to wells, septic systems and surface drainage. Potential upgrade to the residential road may also be included. This preliminary engineering report (PER) will focus solely on the water and sewer improvements and includes an estimate for road pavement improvements as well. The designated project area is not currently served by public water and sewer. Water exists north along Tom Fork Road and can be extended to Gunn Garland Road. Through a CDBG project in 2010, water and sanitary sewer infrastructure was provided to Witcher Road, which is approximately 1/2 mile east of Gunn Garland Road. A desktop review of the topography in the area indicates that gravity sewer can be extended to tie-in to the pump station constructed as part of the 2010 Witcher Road project. Easements would be required to extend gravity sewer from Gunn Garland Road to Witcher Road. The considered water and sewer alternatives have an estimated project cost as shown in the summary table below: Water Alt. 1 8" Waterline to Customers - Total Project Cost $608,800 Alt. 2 8" Loop to Ringgold Road - Total Project Cost $941,500 Sewer Alt. 1 Gravity to Witcher Road - Total Project Cost $885,900 Alt. 2 Gravity to New Pump Station - Total Project Cost $972,900 The recommended alternatives are Water Alternative #2 and Sewer Alternative #1. If funds allow, the water loop back to Ringgold Road will have improved water quality by eliminating a dead-end service and will provide increased reliability with bi-directional potable supply to the neighborhood. The sewer extension to Witcher Road, assuming private property easements can be obtained, will be the most efficient use of existing facilities. There is adequate capacity at the existing Witcher Road Pump Station to serve Gunn Garland Road. 10.B.1.a Packet Pg. 127 Attachment: 2021.3.2 - Gunn Garland Infrastructure PER - Preliminary (2395 : Public Hearing: Gunn Garland CDBG Grant (Staff Contact: Emily GUNN GARLAND ROAD UTILITIES PRELMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, VA 4 2. Project Planning 2.1 Location Gunn Garland Road (SR1024) is located in the Ringgold community within Pittsylvania County, Virginia, just east of the City of Danville. The project area intersects both Tom Fork Road (SR 655) and US Highway 58. 2.2 Environmental Resources Present The project area is generally residential and agricultural, with some light commercial (i.e. churches, fire stations, etc.). There is a large farm that borders the rear property lines (easternmost) along Gunn Garland Road. Due to the nature of the existing conditions, the only environmental concerns are general erosion and sediment control during construction, which will be mitigated by implementation of Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) stormwater best management practices (BMPs). 2.3 Population Trends Based on the US Census Bureau, there has been a 5% reduction in population in Pittsylvania County since 2010. There is no need to plan for future growth and development in the project area. 2.4 Community Engagement A management team has been established for this project, which includes representatives from Pittsylvania County, VDOT, Pittsylvania County Community Action (PCCA) and the community. Based on resident surveys obtained by PCCA, there are 15 homes interested in participating in the project for which the utility improvements will serve. This team will be responsible for keeping residents involved throughout project development. The volunteer fire department building at the intersection of Tom Fork Road and Gunn Garland Road may be a potential meeting location for residents so that they can walk or have a short walk to attend.

Existing Facilities 3.1 Location Map Refer to Exhibits 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 on pages 11-12 which show the existing water and sewer utilities in the vicinity. An existing 12” waterline is located along Tom Fork Road and crosses Gunn Garland Road, which is approximately 850' north of the intersection of Gunn Garland Road with Gunn Garland Court. VDOT right-of-way is available for installation of a new water main. An 8” gravity sewer exists along Witcher Road to the east which discharges to the Witcher Road Pump Station, and wastewater is ultimately pumped to the City of Danville via forcemain along US 58. 3.2 History The homes along Gunn Garland Road are served by private wells and drainfields. It is assumed that the wells and drainfields were installed the same time the homes were constructed, which ranges from 1940-1996, or 25-81 years old. It was noted by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) in 2019 that at least one property shared a well with an adjacent property. It is uncertain if this situation has been resolved, but it could create a problem if the properties were to be sold to another party and an easement for access to the well had not been previously granted. Generally, there are shrink/swell soils in the area which are not conducive for properly functioning drainfields. The Witcher Road sewer and pump station were installed in 2010 as a part of a CDBG project. 3.3 Condition of Existing Facilities Through discussions with the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), Pittsylvania County Office of Environmental Health, it was noted that there was one (1) well replacement in recent years for a home on Gunn Garland Road. In addition, Pittsylvania County Service Authority (PCSA) was aware of one (1) property that shared a well with an adjacent property. The Witcher Road Pump Station was inspected by Dewberry as a part of the 2019 PCSA Pump Stations Condition Assessment project. There is a well-maintained access road and well-established stormwater features on site. The station is surrounded by a lockable fence with a wooden pump control rack covered with a wood truss roof. The station was in sound condition structurally and mechanically. The hatches, rails and piping are in good condition and the site lighting is operational. A flow meter is installed in the valve vault, however it was never wired to the control panel for a read out. The leads to the device were found unconnected in the control panel. The station has a level pressure transducer for pump control, but no back up floats. The pumps installed are Wilo, designed for 182 gpm, 125’ TDH and 22.6 HP. A drawdown test was performed, and Pump 1 delivered 223 gpm at 104’ TDH, and Pump 2 delivered 224 gpm at 96’ TDH. The pumps appear to be pumping at a higher rate and lower pressure than their design point.

Need for Project 4.1 Health, Sanitation and Security As described in Section 3.3, the homes in the project area are served by wells and drainfields, some with undesirable existing conditions. Providing safe and reliable water and sewer service to this neighborhood is paramount. These improvements will bring Gunn Garland Road up to the same development standards as the surrounding roads, Ringgold Road and Witcher Road. 4.2 Aging Infrastructure The homes in this area were built in the 1940’s to mid-1990’s, most in the 1960’s, and it is assumed that the wells and drainfields were installed at the same time. Therefore, they have been in service for 25-80 years. VDH was contacted to receive any records on file for this infrastructure. There were seven total records found in the project area, some of which are under names that no longer match the current property owners. These records generally indicate that the drainfields are in the rear of the properties, and the wells are near the house, a minimum of 100’ from the drainfield. Since records do not exist for all homes, the contractor will need to do some exploratory work to identify the location of existing utilities underground on each property during construction. 5. Alternatives Considered Two alternatives were considered for both the water and sewer improvements. For each water alternative, all participating residences will be connected to the new proposed waterline along Gunn Garland Road and the existing wells will be demolished in place. For each sewer alternative, the existing discharge sewer from each residence will be extended to tie into the new public sewer, and the private septic tanks will be demolished in place. For all alternatives considered, stormwater drainage improvements will be implemented for the entire neighborhood. Some of these may occur on private property as necessary. The existing ditches along either side of the road will be improved for proper drainage to the downstream creek. 10.B.1.a Packet Pg. 132 Attachment: 2021.3.2 - Gunn Garland Infrastructure PER - Preliminary (2395 : Public Hearing: Gunn Garland CDBG Grant (Staff Contact: Emily WPPDC 2020-13 #50131749 9 5.1 Description Water Alternatives 1. Extend Waterline to Gunn Garland Road An existing 12-inch waterline exists along Tom Fork Road, which is the northernmost side of Gunn Garland Road. This alternative extends 6-inch waterline to the required customers along Gunn Garland Road and Gunn Garland Court. The waterline will be routed along the west side of the road, and the service laterals to the east side can either be directionally drilled to minimize pavement repairs, or open cut. Service connections will be extended to all customers’ existing well lines. 2. Loop to Ringgold Road via Clark Street The second alternative includes everything in the first alternative but will also include extending waterline along Clark Street and tie into the existing 8-inch on Ringgold Road. This alternative will create a loop in this residential area which eliminates a dead-end condition that can result in deterioration of water quality as well as provide for improved resiliency through bi-directional service capability. The cost estimate provided for this alternative adds 13 water connections to the properties along Clark Street. Sewer Alternatives 1. Gravity Sewer along Gunn Garland, Tie-in to Witcher Road Based on a preliminary evaluation of topography in the area, gravity sewer can be extended from the northernmost side of Gunn Garland Road south to Gunn Garland Court, and east along private properties to tie into the existing gravity sewer along Witcher Road. Private property easements will be required to extend the sewer cross country to connect Gunn Garland Road to Witcher Road. The gravity sewer will be routed along the east side of the road, and the service connections to the east side can either be directionally drilled to minimize pavement repairs, or open cut. Service connections will be extended to all customers’ existing sewer discharge lines currently connected to septic tanks and drain fields. Existing septic tanks will pumped out and demolished in-place. 2. Duplex Pump Station to Connect to US 58 Similar to the 2010 Witcher Road CDBG project, this alternative includes a gravity sewer along Gunn Garland Road that will discharge to a new small pump station. From this new pump station, a new forcemain will convey pumped wastewater to an existing 10” forcemain along US 58 to Danville. This alternative will minimize the number of easements necessary, however, will require operation of another pump station for a relatively low volume of wastewater. 5.2 Design Criteria Water The Gunn Garland Road neighborhood will be served by the 1 million gallon Cane Creek Centre Tank with an overflow elevation of 722.5’ (feet) and low tank elevation of approximately 684’. The home with the highest elevation in the project area is 580’ – which is 104’ lower than the low tank elevation, equivalent to 45 psi (2.31 feet = 1 psi). With the tank full, pressure will be approximately 62 psi. It is anticipated that the residents will experience residual pressure in the 60-90 psi range based upon home elevation and tank level at the time of demand. This pressure meets the minimum required 30 psi sustained residual pressure per the Virginia Waterworks Regulations. Considering a 500 gpm fire flow event, the pressure drop would be less than 5 psi with the bi-directional water connection, which is fed by the existing 16” on Ringgold Road – resulting in a worst case residential residual pressure during a fire event of 40 psi. Therefore, a 6-inch will provide adequate capacity and pressures above the required minimum of 20 psi to all users along Gunn Garland Road during a fire flow event. Sewer There are approximately 25 homes and a church currently connected to the 8-inch Witcher Road sewer. Assuming 100 gallons per person, and 2.5 people per home, then 6250 gpd of residential flow is discharged to the sewer from these customers. The church wastewater flows are estimated at 500 gpd. Therefore, an average flow of 6750 gpd with a peaking factor of 5 is 33,750 gpd (23 gpm) is estimated for the discharge to the pump station. Maximum capacity at minimum slope of 0.4% for an 8” sewer is 318 gpm. Additionally, there is adequate reserve capacity in the 182 gpm rated pump station for the additional 15± homes along Gunn Garland Road. 10.B.1.a Packet Pg. 133 Attachment: 2021.3.2 - Gunn Garland Infrastructure PER - Preliminary (2395 : Public Hearing: Gunn Garland CDBG Grant (Staff Contact: Emily GUNN GARLAND ROAD UTILITIES PRELMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, VA 10 Up to 15 additional homes from Gunn Garland Road discharging 100 gallons per person, 2.5 people per home, is equivalent to 3750 gpd. With a peaking factor of 5; 18,750 gpd (13 gpm). Reserve capacity in Witcher Road receiving sewer and pump station considering Gunn Garland Road: • Gravity sewer: 318 gpm – 23 gpm – 13 gpm = 282 gpm • Pump station: 182 gpm – 23 gpm – 13 gpm = 146 gpm 5.3 Map The following two exhibits are included as attachments showing the proposed alternatives: • 5.3.1 – Water Alternatives • 5.3.2 – Sewer Alternatives 5.4 Environmental Impacts The project site is a mile from the nearest creek. The sewer alternative will ultimately parallel a creek to Witcher Road gravity sewer. Therefore, local erosion and sediment control is the primary environmental concern during construction, however, there will not be any direct crossings or impacts to the creek. If the total land disturbance is over 1 acre, a DEQ General Construction permit for land disturbance and handling of stormwater will be required. Regardless, a local E&S permit from Pittsylvania County will be required. The contractor will be required to maintain all erosion and sedimentation prevention measures to protect downstream properties from the impacts of unmitigated stormwater runoff during construction. 10.B.1.a Packet Pg. 134 Attachment: 2021.3.2 - Gunn Garland Infrastructure PER - Preliminary (2395 : Public Hearing: Gunn Garland CDBG Grant (Staff Contact: Emily PROJECT PROJ.

If any infrastructure has not had a change in ownership or improvements to the infrastructure in the last 30 years, there may not be records on file. In this case, site visits with the property owners will be required during the design phase to try and determine the location of the infrastructure underground to show on the drawings. The contractor will need to tie in the existing well supply line to the new waterline on Gunn Garland, and also tie in the existing sewer discharge line from the septic tank over to the new sewer along Gunn Garland. The wells will have to be grout filled for proper closure and septic tanks demolished in-place. These factors create some unknowns until construction. PCSA should be aware of this and understand based on the magnitude of the work and the number of properties included, this could result in either inflated bid pricing if all risk is on the contractor, or potential change orders if the County wants to take on responsibility for unknowns on private property. Lastly, easement acquisition could result in schedule delay if property owners are unwilling to agree with the terms prepared by the County. Some property owners do not live in the actual dwelling unit and could be hard to reach. Condemnation may be required in some circumstances. This process should begin as early as possible. 5.7 Sustainability Considerations In general, gravity sewer is preferred to a pump station for the following sustainability considerations: • Minimizing the number of pump stations is preferred to minimize power consumption as well as other related operational cost. • The Witcher Road pump station has adequate reserve capacity and is underutilized. The connection of the Gunn Garland sewer will contribute to maximizing the efficiency of the station. 5.8 Cost Estimates Table 5.8.1 - Water Alternative 1 - 6" Waterline to Customers L.I.

Selected Alternative Considering constructability, project cost, and long-term sustainability, Water Alternative #2 and Sewer Alternative #1 are recommended. Exhibit 6.0 is provided attached indicating the locations of the proposed utilities. The water alternative includes extending waterline to the project participants, but will also include extending waterline along Clark Street and tie into the existing 8-inch on Ringgold Road. This alternative will create a loop in the residential neighborhood which supports water system resiliency and improved water quality, and will also tie-in 13 residents along Clark Street. If the loop is not refundable by the CDBG grant, it is recommended that the County considers providing a match to complete the fully looped project alternative. The gravity sewer extension from the northernmost side of Gunn Garland Road south to Gunn Garland Court, and east along private property to tie into the existing gravity sewer along Witcher Road is recommended. Private property easements will be required to extend the sewer cross country to connect Gunn Garland Road to Witcher Road. However, there is an existing pump station on Witcher Road with adequate reserve capacity to serve Gunn Garland Road. The alternative to build a new pump station would not be an efficient nor be as reliable of a solution and will require increased maintenance and mechanical equipment that is otherwise unnecessary. Additionally, annual operations and maintenance cost will be significantly higher with a pump station, ultimately making the alternative a higher life cycle cost alternative. The chosen gravity system alternative is recommended for simplicity of the system and ease of long-term operations and maintenance. Additionally, this solution will provide for additional service capability to serve additional future residential or light commercial growth anticipated along its proposed route. Similar to the Witcher Road project, the waterline will be routed along the west side of the road, and the sewer will be routed along the east side. 6.1 Life Cycle Cost Analysis The table below shows the present worth considering 20 years. The annual operations and maintenance cost estimated below is based on the fact this will be new infrastructure. To calculate the present worth of annual cost, a term of 20 years and amortization rate of 3% is used.

This loop eliminates a dead-end condition that can result in deterioration of water quality as well as provide for improved resiliency through bi-directional service capability. • Cost for easements were based upon land appraisal values provided on Pittsylvania County GIS. Temporary construction easements are estimated to be 50% of cost per acre, and permanent easements are estimated to be full cost per acre. The County may enter into an agreement with property owners to exchange easements for free connections to the water and sewer system. The costs shown are for financial planning purposes. 6.4 Permit Requirements The following construction permits are anticipated for this project: • VA DEQ General Construction Permit for stormwater and land disturbance • Pittsylvania County Land Disturbance Permit • VA DEQ Certificate to Construct and Certificate to Operate for sewer improvements • VDH Authorization of Construction • USACE Nationwide 12 Permit – potential for wetlands along sewer corridor near creek • VDOT Land Use Permit 6.5 Project Schedule Table 6.5.1 - Gunn Garland Road Utilities Preliminary Schedule 2021 2022 Description 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Condition Assessment and PER Funding Approval Design - 50% Design - 75% Design - Approvals/Final Bid Set Ready Advertising and Bidding Notice of Award Notice to Proceed Construction (Substantial Completion) Final Completion 6.6 Conclusions and Recommendations • Water recommendation – loop 8” waterline from Tom Fork Road, south down Gunn Garland Road (with extension to Gunn Garland Court), west along Clark Street, and tie-in to existing 8” on Ringgold Road. • Sewer recommendation – extend gravity sewer from Tom Fork Road, south down Gunn Garland Road to the end of the project area, and east through private property easement to tie in at Witcher Road. • Initiate design contract with an engineer to develop water and sewer improvements drawings and specifications for bidding and construction. • The County should initiate the easement acquisition process as soon as possible. This will require field survey and development of easement exhibits by an engineer for County use. • As noted in previous Management Team meetings, the County should contact VDOT to formally request participation in the Gunn Garland Road and Court improvements. If VDOT will not participate, funds for the improvements should be requested by DHCD. The County needs to consider if they will fund the road improvements if no partners choose to participate in cost sharing.
