BACKGROUND On January 23, 2002, the City Council authorized an agreement with the engineering firm of Black & Veatch in the amount of $77, 500 for an evaluation of an emergency/standby power source and an initial vulnerability assessment for the department . The initial scope of services for the vulnerability assessment anticipated that the more detailed work items would be published by USEPA. The initial scope of services relative to vulnerability assessment was to review the USEPA vulnerability requirements and provide a recommendation to the City for follow up evaluation. The vulnerability assessment effort contained in the subject amendment is based on the USEPA' s specific requirements. This amendment will provide a physical security site survey and vulnerability assessment of the City of Elgin' s water supply, treatment, storage and transmission facilities . The vulnerability assessment will include the major elements and processes currently defined by the USEPA for a "satisfactory vulnerability assessment" as identified by "Request For Application For Federal Grants For Vulnerability Assessments, Emergency Operations Plans, And Security Enhancement Planning And Design At Large Drinking Water Utilities" . The scope of work also includes security enhancement planning based on the recommendations of the vulnerability assessment . The scope of the security enhancement planning effort will be dependent upon the findings of the Amendment to Engineering Agreement June 21, 2002 Page 2 vulnerability assessment (VA) , and will include at a minimum conceptual descriptions of the major security improvements, conceptual cost estimates and a planning schedule . When staff became aware of the grant opportunity through USEPA, a scope of services was developed with Black & Veatch that meets the minimum required elements as dictated by USEPA. Costs were calculated based on the scope of services and the grant was subsequently approved in that amount . The award of this grant was announced on June 6, 2002 , by Speaker of the U.S . House of Representatives, J. Dennis Hastert (see attached) . This assessment is a USEPA mandate required to be completed by March 31, 2003 , based on the size of our service population. The scope of services for this contract amendment is attached. The planning (design) effort shall be managed such that the grant award amount will not be exceeded. Security enhancement items will be prioritized and designed within available funds . COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None /4FINANCIAL IMPACT The total cost for this vulnerability assessment and security enhancement planning contract amendment is $115, 000 . The initial contract was for $77, 500, therefore, the total contract value will become $192 , 500 . The amended cost will be totally supported by the USEPA grant (401-0000-503 . 19-00, Federal Grants - EPA) . There are sufficient funds available and budgeted in account number 401-4002- 771 . 30-99, project number 409610 to cover this expense . ii\II nDVEGAL IMPACT An agreement will need to be prepared and submitted to the Legal Department for review. ALTERNATIVES Not to award this contract amendment and therefore not comply with rft. the Federal guidelines . Amendment to Engineering Agreement June 21, 2002 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of this contract amendment with Black & Veatch for an additional not to exceed amount of $115, 000 .
