Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement for 1999-2000 Combined Sewer Overflow Monitoring Project PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider the approval of an agreement with Carroll Engineering and Associates for a two-year Combined Sewer Overflow Monitoring Project . BACKGROUND The City of Elgin has a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for the operation of the combined sanitary and storm water sewer system, which includes 13 overflow points . The NPDES program is mandated by federal and state law. To meet the rigorous demands of the permit, staff solicited proposals from four firms : Crawford, Murphy and Tilly (CMT) , Baxter and Woodman (B&W) , Carroll Engineering and Associates, P. C. and Earth Tech Inc. (Formerly Rust Environment & Infrastructure) . Carroll Engineering & Associates was the only firm to submit a proposal. The other firms chose not to submit for various reasons. Hence, Carroll Engineering & Associates was selected by the staff selection committee . The attached agreement (attachment A) will provide for continuing active management of the CSS/CSO system as required by the NPDES permit, the continuation of the Infrastructure Management System and provide effective approaches to resolving sewer backup problems. Upon selection, Carroll Engineering and Associates met with staff to finalize the project scope and negotiate their fee . The consultant ' s fee was significantly less than the City' s budget . Staff requested that the consultant increase the amount of work such that the full budget be utilized. Because of the significant amount of work that was added, the consultant would need the two- year period to perform. Also, as with other yearly projects, a two-year agreement, versus a one-year agreement, saves considerable amounts of staff time as well as provides for a more consistent ft project. By funding this work in this fiscal year, an amount for t monitoring will not be necessary in the budget for fiscal year 2000 . • Combined Sewer Overflow September 10, 1999 Page 2 This agreement will continue to update the City' s computerized sewer map and the data base. The data base, when complete, will list all structures within the City' s sanitary system (each manhole and each sewer line segment between manholes) . With new development and construction of interceptor sewers, the City needs to add these • sewers to the map and data base . This agreement will add any new subdivisions developed in the City during 1999 and 2000 . The scope was modified to increase the number of manhole inspections from 1000 over one year to 3000 over two years and to increase the smoke testing from 500 line segments to 1, 200 line segments . Upon the completion of this project, the City will have completed all smoke testing within the combined sewer area and inspected fifty percent of the City' s sanitary manholes . The bulk of the agreement focuses on inspections and smoke testing. Each manhole needs to be inspected to develop the information that is added to the data base . A sample of the information includes each manhole ' s materials of construction, condition, depth, year of construction, number of pipes connected, etc . The smoke testing helps to identify catch basins and house connections (downspouts and/or sump pumps) that could be disconnected from the combined eft. sewer system and reconnected to an existing storm sewer system. The agreement also includes training which will help the City staff begin to use the computer programs that update the data base and the map. Finally, the agreement includes provisions for the consultant to submit the required documentation to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The staff will use the consultant ' s submittal as a model for future submittals . COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED F.R.W.R.D. r t NANCIAL IMPACT / The final negotiated fee for Carroll Engineering is $149, 626 . Sufficient funding is available for payment in the following accounts : Account Number 399-4200-795 . 92-41, project number 339545, $80, 000 Account Number 430-4202-772 . 30-99, project number 339545, $75, 000 OLEGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES None . Combined Sewer Overflow September 10, 1999 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the subject agreement with Carroll Engineering and Associates in the not-to- exceed amount of $149, 626 and authorize staff to execute the necessary documents . .ectfully submi d, a ' /ce Parker City Manager JE:do Attachments
