I recently attended an interesting meeting during which a timely, though unfortunate subject was discussed — strategies to survive an active shooter situation in the workplace. Causes of this epidemic aside, the reality is that these happen much more frequently than ever before and it has become much more difficult to say (or hope) that it won’t happen wherever we are. Most of us, myself included, would like to think that if we were ever in this situation that we’d respond bravely and effectively and that we’d do everything we could to protect our staff members. But in the chaos of an active shooter situation, hoping we’d respond admirably is a lot different from doing so when it matters. Two officers from a local police department spoke to a local business group I belong to and outlined the warning signs of potential shooters, when to report suspicions to the police and strategies to protect workers when an active shooting situation arises. To provide guidance to members on how to spot a potential mass shooting suspect, both officers began their presentation by identifying the five stages on active shooter: fantasy stage (coming up with the idea to do it), planning stage (determining the logistics to accomplish the objective), preparation stage (stockpiling weaponry and other gear to commit the crime), approach stage (making final preparations and even leaking information to others about the plan), and the implementation stage (when the act is being perpetrated). The officers both cited statistics and most salient among them was that an average mass shooting incident lasts eight to 12 minutes. Because of this and how rapidly law enforcement responds to these incidents, alerting authorities as soon as possible while simultaneously seeking a hiding place is key also, locating some implement to potentially render a suspect mobilized, such as a chair, and barricading yourself and others from the suspect all serve the goal of trying to survive in that span of time. When calling the authorities, the officers stressed, it is best not to spend much of any time actually speaking with a 911 operator; rather, they said, call and leave the line open so that the operator, who is trained to assess emergency calls, will determine that there is a threat and to dispatch law enforcement immediately. Preparation work ahead of time, of course, can mitigate the casualties if an active shooter situation unfolds: that means knowing where all exits are and if any exit is unfeasible to reach, where the most effective safe places to hide are in the building. So sad that we have to think about and plan for these things these days. All this aside, hope you’re having a great and safe autumn. Look for coverage of the N.Y.S Highway & Public Works expo in the next issue of the Profile. P

Commissioner of Public Works H

Jacob Tawil

and the City of Middletown

By Mary Yamin-Garone PROFILE CORRESPONDENT

Jacob Tawil has his hands full. As the commissioner of public works of the city of Middletown, he’s in charge of the water and sewage treatment plants and the water system. “We have five reservoirs/lakes, dams, water shed areas to protect as well as a wastewater treatment plant and collection system,” he said. “We also handle all the roads, streets and sanitation, code enforcement, building department/inspector, the department of public works general administration and permits.” And that's just for starters. He’s also known for doing battle with beavers. That’s right. Beavers. “We have beavers in a remote location outside the city,” Jacob said. “They’re extremely active. I call them smart engineers. They keep making dams, destroying them then clearing it. They’re geniuses. They’ve done what they have to do and completely flood the culverts. During freezing weather conditions, the beavers would cause the water to back up and flood the major road. We tried to get contractors to come in. Nobody wanted to touch it so we had to do it in-house. We had to come up with some things that I never dreamt of doing in my life. We had to deal with it. We set up a cofferdam in order to clean it slowly so all the water wouldn’t flush down the drain and flood everyone else down the line. It was a unique challenge. “We always knew the beavers were doing it. We tried to stay one step ahead of them. That was a battle for years. They’d always win and when they win, it’s bad. They’re still causing trouble. Believe it or not, the ultimate solution is designing a big culvert in there then replacing the two culverts so a human can walk inside. Those beavers will never be able to plug it again. It was a half a million-dollar solution. It’s sickening but what are you going to do? It’s part of the job.” All about the Man Born in Palestine, Jacob came to this country in 1980. He attended Syracuse University, majoring in civil engineering. After graduation, he worked for the engineering firm, United Engineering Group, for a short time. “Then I applied for a job in Middletown,” he said. “I got three offers. One from Mobil Exxon (at the time it was only Mobil) to oversee construction projects. Another from a large precast company in Philadelphia and the third offer was to work in a small consulting engineering firm in Middletown. I chose Middletown. My thinking at the time was that I would gain a lot of experience. I’d be exposed to all kinds of projects instead of doing precast design or working for construction or overseeing the construction of some Mobil gas stations, buildings, facilities or pipelines. “That’s what happened. I was exposed to various types of water and waste treatment plants, infrastructure design, subdivision, road design. All kinds of engineering — development, storm water management. I ended up sticking more to the environmental engineering aspect of civil engineering, which is designing water and sewer treatment plants, pump stations, water and sewer lines, storm sewer and so on. “I was working with the small engineering firm Shewan McEvely in Middletown. I became one of the principals and was in charge of the region here in Orange County and the surrounding counties. In 1989, me and another engineer started a construction business while working as consulting engineers. We were building whatever we were qualified to design — sewer and water pump stations, upgrading wastewater treatment plants, buildcontinued on page 12 Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • November 2019

The city of Middletown’s capacity of sewage is 8.5 million gallons/day. The city did a major upgrade in 2009 to its wastewater treatment facility and is continuing to make more improvements, such as replacing major pumps.

ing water and sewer lines, reconstructing roads, curbs and sidewalks. At the time, we were trying to come up with some joint venture between the engineering and construction business.” In 2003, the long-standing commissioner of public works for the city retired. The city went through several commissioners of public works but they couldn’t find what they wanted. That’s when they approached Jacob to be the interim commissioner. “I was doing most of the work anyway. My kids were born here, went to school here. We’ve always lived in Middletown. I felt loyalty and allegiance to the city, so in 2005, I accepted the position.” When it’s time to relax, you can find Jacob enjoying all kinds of water activities from boating to snorkeling, swimming, surfing or just sitting on the beach. “We go to the Poconos or the Long Island or New Jersey shores. I prefer the ocean any day, but it’s safer boating on the lake.” Jacob is a proud member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the American Water Works Association. 12

All About the Job It didn’t take Jacob long to discover the many demands of the commissioner’s job. “You have to be attentive 24 hours a day,” he said. “Things are happening all the time. It’s an old city and it has a lot of old infrastructure that requires immediate attention. The nature of the beast in our business is if you don’t see it, you don’t worry about it until it breaks. That’s not how you deal with infrastructure. You have to be proactive and perform preventative maintenance. You must have some kind of plan to upgrade your underground water and sewer lines, which are the lifelines of the city. You can live with anything except if you have a watermain break or a sewer backs up. Then the world stops when you open up your faucet and there’s no water or the water isn’t clean or up to the standards or you can’t flush your toilet. Anything else you can live without. Water and sewer, you can’t. That’s why me and my staff must be on top of it 24 hours a day.” continued on page 16

The department of public works is responsible for the city’s sanitation, building inspection, code enforcement and sewage and wastewater treatment plant.

Jacob admits the city has a tremendous grid of old water and sewer lines and storm sewers. “We have equipment to handle any sewer blockage. We also can send cameras underground to inspect the sewer lines to see if there’s a collapse or blockage. Our pipes are inspected annually about 5 to 10 percent each year. They’re logged so we can plan on a pipe replacement for capital projects. The camera and vac truck cleans the manholes and catch basins for excavation to avoid damage. The equipment has as well. We saved a lot of money but now it’s getting old and sooner or later we’ll have to upgrade.” The department of public works is responsible for the city’s sanitation, building inspection, code enforcement and sewage and wastewater treatment plant. Sanitation The city has five sanitation trucks. Currently, it’s undergoing a major evaluation to change the trucks from rear loaders to ones with a robotic arm. continued on page 22 16

The city’s biggest challenge, according to Jacob Tawil, is combating the in-flow and infiltration, which takes away capacity at the wastewater treatment plant. Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • November 2019

A roundabout in the city of Middletown, during and after construction.

“Each truck is approximately $350,000 so it will be a major investment. We made a deal with the truck suppliers, so we can try it out for several months before we buy their trucks. That way we can make sure we can maneuver throughout our streets. Some are narrow, others are one-way. The money we pay for rental would be reimbursed if we buy the trucks. So, there won’t be a penny wasted.” Building Inspection Typically, the building inspector sits on the planning board and the zoning board of appeals to represent the public works department. Building permits, certificates of occupancy, sidewalk replacement, curb cut, sign permits and more are administered through Jacob’s office. Code Enforcement “We have five certified code enforcement officials. They issue rental permits for single, two-family and multiple dwellings. Basically, you have to get a permit if you want to rent anything in the city. We started that years ago. More and more communities are trying to prevent overcrowding and combatting illegally converting from single to two-family or three family to renting rooms in a house. It’s all for quality of life and safety.” Water Treatment Plant The city has a state-of-the-art water treatment facility. It has conventional sedimentation and filters. continued on page 26 22

Crews work on a drainage improvement project within the city of Middletown.

“Our water comes from reservoirs miles and miles outside the city. We filter the water and send it to customers and the adjacent communities.” Sewage/Wastewater Treatment Plant “Our capacity is 8.5 million gallons/day. We did a major upgrade in 2009. We’re continuing to make more im-provements, such as replacing major pumps. We’re also focusing on sludge treatment. We’re trying to maximize the amount of solids in our sludge. We have to remove the water and take it to a landfill. It’s difficult to get rid of because of limited landfill capacity and the nature of the sludge. A certain amount has to be taken out to mix it with solid waste for the stability of the landfill. It’s to everyone’s advantage — especially to us — to minimize the number of tons we ship out of the waste water treatment plant every day. The cost is increasing, so we’re looking at the different technologies and fine-tuning within our wastewater treatment plant to achieve more solids than sludge.” The department recently installed a new vehicle tracking system. It tracks every piece of equipment no matter where it is. continued on page 30 26

Culverts interconnect sections of reservoirs and are essential to ensure continuous supply of water to residents, businesses and industry in the city and adjacent communities.

According to Jacob, “It’s for accountability and productivity of our crews and departments. You can tell how fast the vehicle is going. You can go back and see its history, where it was at any given moment/time … speeding, accidents, hit and run incidents. We’ll know if they break down. It’s knowing that someone is watching. You can’t watch everybody every minute if you have 85 people. Not that you need to, but sometimes things happen. People complain. You take advantage of technology to be as productive and accountable as possible for the taxpayers and the elected officials. If there was an issue, we can go back and look at the history to see where this guy is and what he was doing; for example, speeding during snowplowing or pushing the snow back too far in the front yard. Whatever it is, we can track it and quickly put an end to it.” Jacob also updated 7,500 water meters for the residents. “You get four readings a day,” he said. “So, if you have a water leak or a pipe is frozen and you’re not there, the meter will send you a text message. Residents also can see how much water they’ve used for the day/month. Again, it’s using technology to make life easier, to be able to conserve water and run your house more efficiently.” As the department’s “top dog,” Jacob is responsible for maintaining the city’s 75 miles of road, which translates into 230 lane miles. How long does it take to maintain those roads in the winter? 30

“It depends on the amount of snow. I remember in some instances our crews were non-stop, just go to the garage and take a nap or have something to eat and get back on the road. Depending on the intensity, we won’t stop until the roads are clean, until the pavement is black. About 20 of the employees are part of the snowplow operation. We don’t just count on the street department to do the cleaning. We take personnel from the water department and possibly sanitation who have CDLs to help with the snow plowing. “We have 12 dump trucks with plows,” he added. “Then, we have other support equipment, like front loaders, graders that we deploy during bad snowing events. We have large truck-type snowblowers and pick-up trucks with plows to handle the parking areas. We also use backhoes. We put plows on everything, except for the sanitation trucks, so everything is ready to go.” Eighty-five crew members and staff help Jacob serve the city’s 28,600 residents. They include Chris Gross (P.E.); Mark Pengel (deputy commissioner for water and sewer, street and sanitation departments); Jeff Rysinger (water and wastewater treatment plant operator); and Walter Welch (building inspector, buildings and code enforcement division). continued on page 34

Commissioner of Public Works Jacob Tawil along with city of Middletown Mayor Joseph DeStefano, Council President Miguel Rodrigues and Jim Burtis, a member of the Citizen Participation Committee for NY Rising, while in Manhattan receiving the NY Rising grant in the amount of $3.5 million.

Under Jacob’s dutiful eye, the city of Middletown’s highway department runs on a total operating budget of $19 million that’s $7.5 million for water; $5.5 million for sewer; and $6 million for the department of public works. It also receives an annual CHIPS allocation of $614,000 and $114,000 for PAVE-NY. To fulfill its responsibilities the department uses a convoy of equipment that consists of: • 12 dump trucks • excavator • three front loaders • two graders • two snow blower trucks • two backhoes • three Mason trucks • a boat • sewer jet truck • several pickup trucks, cars and SUVs to support all departments • vac truck (share with neighboring municipality) 34

• underground camera system (share with neighboring municipality) How does Jacob budget for new equipment? “I have an annual capital budget,” he said. “We usually submit a list of things we need and then negotiate with the mayor and common council. I have to advocate and explain my position and why I need this piece of equipment and what’s wrong with the other equipment. I have to justify why keeping the old pieces will cost the city more money in the long run. If we keep the old one, repairing and dumping money on it just to keep it going, it won’t be cost effective for the city. We’re better off buying a new piece of equipment with a new warranty. Once I explain it to them, they typically become more receptive. “We just bought four new code enforcement vehicles. We also purchased several new pickup trucks. One is for the deputy and another for the support personnel. Last year, we got a new front-end loader and five new dump trucks. Each one is worth a quarter of a million dollars.” Looking back, the most difficult part of the job thus far for Jacob has been being available 24 hours a day. continued on page 38

The Street Department poses for a team shot with Commissioner of Public Works Jacob Tawil.

“That’s difficult and demanding. It catches up to you. It’s hard on my family. They support me but at the same time you know they’re complaining. Most of the time they keep it to themselves, but sometimes I hear about it.” One of the most important aspects is maintaining quality service. “That’s especially true whether it’s plugging the potholes, making sure the traffic lights are working and the roads aren’t slippery or providing the best quality and safest water for our customers.” Jacob is quick to admit that he was most surprised by the intensity of the job. “I have to be involved in every aspect of almost everything that goes around in this department. It’s the nature of the beast. Because it’s a city and things happen all over, my deputies and I are on call 24 hours a day. That means even authorizing overtime in the middle of the night.” What has been the most challenging? “In-flow and infiltration, which in any sewage filtration system, especially the older ones, you have during wet weather conditions. There’s lots of water seeping into your sewage collection pipes and into the sanitary sewer. That overwhelms and could cause flooding downstream in your sewage treatment system or in your streets by water bubbling out of the manholes. That’s because of in-flow and infiltration. There are illegal connections and down spouts from roofs or gutters going into your sanitary sewer system. All the water collects in the sanitary sewer system and goes toward your sewer treatment plant. That could flood it and take away your treatment capacity. That means we can’t allow anymore development to take place in our area. “We’re not in that position yet. Our biggest challenge is combating the in-flow and infiltration, which takes away our capacity at the wastewater treatment plant. Sometimes it causes sewer manholes to overflow, which means that sewage will flow into the street. That’s our biggest 38

nightmare. I compare combatting in-flow and infiltration to chasing a ghost. It’s an uphill battle but we’re gaining on it and trying to minimize it.” And the most favorite part of the job? “Having unique challenges. Being confronted with a situation at the wastewater treatment or the water treatment plant or anywhere. How to figure out a solution. Something that’s not typical. I enjoy that — getting into it, getting out of my office. That’s when I get called in. When it’s something unusual. If everything is normal, nobody bothers me. I like to go out with my men and face real life issues. Communicating with them. Bouncing ideas off each other.” An Eye Toward the Future Not one to sit still, Jacob has a laundry list of projects on his “To Do list.” They include: • Upgrading all city signalized intersections to include ADA complying features, such as pedestrian crossings, access ramps and communication system to optimize travel routes and minimize traffic backups, as the city main routes are heavily congested where NYS Rt 211 and 17 M and several main county routes 11, 67, 49, 78 run through the city. Cost: $15 million. • Installing new finished water pump station at City Water Treatment Plant. Cost: $3 million. • Replacing WWTP screw pumps. Cost: $2 million. Grants to digitize and create GIS based mapping system for all underground utilities, water, wastewater and storm. • Developing watershed protection ordinance. Have obtained a grant in the amount of $6 million for preserving watershed and minimize Harmful Algae Blooms. continued on page 44

The Middletown DPW is responsible for operating five lakes/reservoirs as a source of its drinking water. Reservoirs are located several miles outside the city municipal borders. City reservoir dams were constructed in early 1900 and are undergoing several improvements to ensure compliance with NYSDEC current standards and regulations. This photo shows certified divers working for the city DPW inspecting underground reservoir culverts built in the early 1900s.

About the City Located in the lower Hudson Valley, Middletown was first settled in 1760 and quickly grew into a thriving dairy farm center. With the arrival of the pioneering New York and Erie Railroad in 1843, Middletown continued to flourish and by 1888, it became a city. Hundreds of residents found employment in the growing railroad industry as well as at the sprawling Middletown State Hospital, with its advanced facilities at one time boasting over 100 buildings. “Middletown Revisited” documents the rich history of a city that has continued to grow over generations. Marvin H. Cohen, a native of Middletown, is president and curator of the Historical Society of Middletown and the Wallkill Precinct and a member for more than 50 years of the Middletown Fire Department. The vintage images in this book have been selected from the extensive collections of the historical society. The Images of America series celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns and cities across the country. Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today.  P

Tracey Road Equipment Holds Open House, Expo in Syracuse

racey Road Equipment — is the long-time dealer an earthmoving and excavating dealership? Municipal equipment dealership? Road building and asphalt maintenance equipment dealership? Over the road medium-duty/ heavy-duty truck dealership? Off road truck dealership? Compact excavating equipment dealership? Truck equipper and fabrication shop? The answer is YES to all of the above and much more. Founded in 1976 by Jerry Tracey, Tracey Road Equipment has grown to be a truly one-of-a-kind equipment dealership over the past 43 years. A one-stop shop where contractors, landscapers, municipalities, trucking firms, salvage and recycling yards, demolition contractors, and virtually anyone who uses any type of truck and/or earthmoving or processing equipment, can purchase nearly anything they need. Where many dealerships limit purchasing options to one or possibly two manufacturers, Tracey Road Equipment offers trucks and equipment from a wide variety of manufacturers from all over the world, giving customers

Mack Trucks announced its continued support of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) Workforce Heroes program with the donation of a Mack Anthem 70-in. Stand Up Sleeper model.

Mack Supports Military Veterans Through ATA’s Workforce Heroes

Mack Trucks announced its continued support of the American Trucking Association’s (ATA) Workforce Heroes program, which includes the donation of a Mack Anthem 70-in. stand up sleeper model. Mack made the announcement during the ATA Management Conference & Exhibit at the San Diego Convention Center. The Mack Anthem model, featuring a unique camouflage-styled wrap, travels across country to help recruit military veterans into careers in the trucking industry. Thus far, the truck has visited nine locations, including schools, career fairs and military bases. “Mack is proud to continue our support of veterans through this program, and we look forward to working with the ATA to encourage them to consider a career in trucking,” said Jonathan Randall, Mack Trucks senior vice president of North American sales and marketing. “Veterans have proven their dedication and service to our country, and trucking offers them a job experience that will build upon some of the skills they already have acquired.” The Anthem model is driven across the country by professional truck drivers from the ATA’s Share the Road program, who teach students, policymakers and media how to drive safely around heavy trucks. Each of the Share the Road drivers has an outstanding safety record, with many of them having one million or more accident-free miles. 66

“From talking to the truck drivers who’ve had the pleasure of driving the camo Mack Anthem Workforce Heroes Truck around the country, it’s hard to describe the excitement that this truck generates about careers in our industry,” said ATA President and CEO Chris Spear. “Drivers are getting asked questions about trucking while fueling up at truck stops, getting saluted while driving down the road and being asked to take pictures with prospective industry recruits in front of the truck. This Mack Anthem is creating exactly the type of momentum we hoped to see out of this program and we’re very thankful for Mack Trucks’ support.” The Mack Anthem model used in the Workforce Heroes program is equipped with a Mack MP 8HE-415SE engine with 415 hp and 1,660 lb.-ft. of torque and the Mack mDRIVE automated manual transmission. Standard on all Mack Anthem models, the mDRIVE enables drivers to remain focused on driving, rather than shifting gears. The Mack Anthem features an interior designed with the driver in mind, offering a full stand-up height from the cab to the living environment so the driver can easily walk into the area. The ergonomic and functional driving environment features a flat-bottomed steering wheel, the first in the trucking industry, for easier driver entry and exit, easy-toreach controls and clearly visible gauges.

ClearSpan Invests in Its Customers With New Facility

ClearSpan’s new 94,000-sq.-ft. manufacturing facility sits on the company’s 60 acre campus in Dyersville, Iowa.

ClearSpan Structures, a manufacturer of metal and fabric building solutions, has completed construction on a new manufacturing facility. The $10 million investment was made to help meet increasing customer demand. The new 94,000-sq.-ft. facility sits on ClearSpan’s 60 acre campus in Dyersville, Iowa. The new building and technology are expected to bring an additional 75 to 100 jobs to the local economy and allow the company to completely customize customer-specific solutions. “We’re pleased to introduce the new facility,” said Barry Goldsher, president of ClearSpan Structures. “It’s an opportunity for us to expand our manufacturing abilities and bring more jobs to Eastern Iowa.” Besides a higher production capacity, ClearSpan will be able to reduce the time between customer inquiry and project completion. The company also will be able to produce more versatile and unique buildings at a lower cost, all while maintaining the high quality that ClearSpan has come to be known for, according to the company. “ClearSpan’s new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility was essential to support our robust growth,” said Geoff Ching, director of sales of ClearSpan Structures. “To be able to offer our industry-leading value and rapid turnaround times, we simply had to increase our manufacturing capacity, while remaining vertically integrated.” For more information, visit ClearSpan.com. 
