Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement 1998 Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) NPDES Permit Compliance Project PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider approval of an extension of an agreement with D. Carroll Engineering & Associates for the continued development of the data base, mapping and monitoring of the combined sewer system. BACKGROUND The City of Elgin and communities nationwide are required to be permitted annually for the operation of combined sewers . The National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for Combined Sewer System (CSO) is issued by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) . The NPDES permit requires that the City maintain an updated map and be able to perform modeling of the combined sewer system. Due to these requirements, the City has developed a computer-based map of its sanitary sewer system. The proposed contract extension with D. Carroll Engineering provides for the updating of the City' s base map and for the completion of the annual permit process on behalf of the City. In May 1997 the City Council approved the engineering services agreement for 1997 Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Monitoring with D. Carroll Engineering & Associates. This agreement provides for continuing CSO permit compliance, IMS data base and CSS map development. Evaluation of sewer backups in problem areas was also included. In December 1997, the City Council approved an extension of this agreement with D. Carroll Engineering & Associates. The extension provided for the completion of the CSS mapping and the partial completion of IMS data base . The attached engineering services agreement will provide for updating the mapping to include the 1998 Subdivisions and Capital Improvement projects and efforts to begin populating the IMS data base . Engineering Services Agreement/CSO Projects October 6, 1998 Page 2 The agreement requires the consultant to provide information on each of the manholes which will be used to populate the existing data base. Inspection (non-entry) will be performed on approximately 16% of the manholes in the sewer system under this contract . The existing IMS data base includes an identi- fication number and address for each manhole. Under the attached agreement, the consultant will populate the data base with information such as the type of manhole or pipe, age of item, depth, slope and structural condition. Also included in the agreement is the monitoring of one Combined Sewer Overflow event and verification of the separation of sewers in the National Street Basin. Proposals to develop the mapping task were requested in May 1997 and again in November 1997 from pre-qualified engineering firms . In both cases, the City Council approved an engineering services agreement with D. Carroll Engineering & Associates . D. Carroll Engineering is uniquely qualified to provide the services to be provided under the proposed agreement . D. Carroll Engineering was selected for this project based on their familiarity with the City, the software utilized, understanding of the requirements of the City and the NPDES program and their overall approach to the project. They were twice selected to work on the CSO project, of which this is an extension. Their work to date makes them uniquely qualified to rft. continue with the project . The contract has been modified to provide for a review of subcontractor proposals and costs . D. Carroll Engineering has met with staff to finalize the project scope and negotiate their fee . This agreement which will provide for continuing active management of the CSS/CSO system as required by the NPDES Permit and the continuation of the development of the Infrastructure Management System. The final negotiated fee is $69, 860 . This fee is in line with previous fee agreements and competitive with previous propos- als from other firms . As this agreement has not gone through the proposal process, a two-thirds majority of the City Council will be required for approval . COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Fox River Water Reclamation District (FRWRD) yu,__ FINANCIAL IMPACT The project is included in two areas of the 1998 budget . The Sewer portion of the 1998 General Obligation Bond sale includ- ed $75, 000 (account number 398-4200-795 . 92-41, Project 339545) for CSS/CSO projects . The portion of the contract attributed to the bond sale totals $31, 980 . The remaining portion of the contract ($37 , 880) will be charged to the Sewer Operating Fund, account number 430-4202-772 . 30-99, Professional Servic- es . Adequate money remains in both accounts to fund this contract . Engineering Services Agreement/CSO Projects October 6, 1998 Page 3 LEGAL IMPACT VarkThe contract award requires an exception to the Procurement Ordinance . ALTERNATIVES None . RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the subject agreement with D. Carroll Engineering in the not-to-exceed amount of $69, 860 . 00 and authorize staff to execute the necessary documents .
