BACKGROUND In 2001, the City renewed its interest in investigating expanding its efforts to separate the combined sewers still in its collection system following some localized backup problems during severe rain events . As a result, funds were budgeted to update the engineering analyses completed in the 1960 ' s and 1970 ' s. These studies had outlined projects to separate sewers throughout the entire system and had resulted in extremely high project cost estimates which were difficult to fund regardless of the benefit or desire to do so. Nevertheless, the City has made progress towards a separated system with limited projects on National Street, St . Charles Street and the Lincoln/Douglas area (for which a project design is funded and will be initiated this year) . New sewer rehabilitation and installation technology developed over the last twenty-five years has altered the unit costs and the feasibility of such work enough that an updated study is warranted. In addition to these changes, much experience has been gained in modifying combined sewer systems to improve their rw. functionality when separation is cost prohibitive. Combined Sewer Separation Study August 23, 2002 Page 2 Many examples exist of projects that utilize tunnels, reservoirs and even sections of neighborhood street pavements to hold combined sewer overflows until they can be allowed back into the system without causing basement backups . A scope of work was developed for the engineering services necessary to complete a study that will utilize existing sanitary sewer and storm atlases, plans, maps, combined sewer reports and the CSO action report (developed as a part of the CSO operating permit) to accomplish the following: 1 . Re-examine and update sewer separation alternatives included in the previous reports utilizing current technologies and adhering to current EPA requirements. Create a prioritized list of separation projects based on a combination of ease of construction and best cost-benefit. 2 . Examine system enhancement alternatives for all basins rm. within the system, especially for areas with a history of flooding and/or backups . Create a prioritized list of enhancement projects to improve system operation based on the most compatible terrain and best cost-benefit . 3 . Create an integrated list of recommended projects with related costs for each to utilize as a long term plan to improve system performance. This scope of work was incorporated into a Request for Proposal (RFP) , and five consulting firms were invited to submit proposals. They included Montgomery Watson Harza, Rersek Henry Meisenheimer and Gende, Camp Dresser and McKee, Carroll Engineering and Associates and URS . Only Carroll Engineering and Associates and Montgomery Watson Harza responded with proposals . A staff selection committee evaluation of the two proposals was conducted, which resulted in Carroll Engineering and Associates (CEA) being selected as the top rated firm. A copy of the results of the selection process is attached as Exhibit A. Upon selection, CEA met with staff to finalize the project scope and negotiate their fee . The final negotiated fee is $121, 000 . • Combined Sewer Separation Study August 23, 2002 Page 3 A copy of the proposed engineering services agreement with CEA is attached as Exhibit B. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funding for this project was originally budgeted in 2001, the Sewer portion of the 2001 Bond Sale, account number 381-4200- 795 . 92-41, project number 339640 in the amount of $125, 000 . The consultant fee is $121, 000 . There are sufficient funds available to award the engineering services contract . No funds currently exist in the 2002-2006 Financial Plan to implement any of the recommended projects suggested by the study. EGAL IMPACT em. None. ALTERNATIVES 1 . Reject the engineering services contract . 2 . Accept the engineering services contract . RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the engineering services agreement with Carroll Engineering and Associates, P.C. in the not-to-exceed amount of $121, 000 .
