COMMUNITY GOAL • Neighborhood Vitality: By improving the infrastructure within neighborhoods OBJECTIVE • Provide funding for engineering services to survey the sanitary and storm basins in the surrounding neighborhood PURPOSE • Identify potential problems that exist in the sanitary and storm sewers that contribute to the neighborhood flooding RECOMMENDATION • Approve the engineering agreement with Engineering Enterprises, Inc. to conduct the research outlined in their proposal BACKGROUND The sanitary and storm sewer basins that are included in the neighborhood surrounding the North Commonwealth and Demmond area have a history of overland and basement flooding during excessive rain events. Although the basin was originally designed to accommodate a 10 year rain event, there appears to exist cross connections and various other forms of infiltration into the sanitary sewer system that causes backups during a rain event. A previous engineering study conducted in 1998 did identify some potential causes of the flooding, but the scope of the project was limited and did not take into account the entire drainage basin. Subsequent to the 1998 study, most of the initiatives identified to resolve flooding have been completed, although flooding issues still exist. Since the 1998 study was completed and subsequent work was undertaken, the reports of flooding have reduced. Public works has not been aware of significant flooding since the 1998 work was completed. Neighborhood residents claim to have reported flooding to city staff, but • due to communications breakdowns and the lack of a centralized computer program to capture this information, the records of these events is not available at this time. In any event, the significant rains of July 24, 2010 brought this issue to everyone's attention, with portions of this neighborhood experiencing a reported three to four feet of standing water in the street and significant sanitary flooding in the basements of over 35 residences. The Mayor, Sean Stegall and Colby Basham attended a meeting with neighborhood residents to discuss their flooding issues. During this meeting, a commitment was made to further study the issues, determine the cause and report back to the neighborhood the results and the course of corrective action that would be taken. Due to the nature of the problems, a review of the entire storm and sanitary basins is needed to fully understand the issues affecting drainage. In order to fully understand the problems associated with the basin, a complete engineering survey of the storm and sanitary basins is necessary. The city procurement ordinance requires that the user departments solicit not less than three proposals. In this case, four firms were selected that were otherwise qualified to conduct the work. A selection committee consisting of Dave Lawry, Joe Evers, Colby Basham and Art Maim was formed to review the proposals. Art Maim is a neighborhood resident that has experience in sanitary infiltration and is a professional engineer. He also experienced basement flooding during the summer rain event. The selection committee unanimously selected Engineering Enterprises, Inc. (EEI) for their understanding of the scope of the work. EEI was selected as the -41 most qualified firm. When negotiating the contract, the city evaluates the firm's understanding of the scope of the work and compares their work to their closest priced competitor and allows them to justify the price difference. In this case, EEI's focused approach to breaking down the entire basin into sub-basins allowed for the alteration of the work scope, without losing any of the services needed to gain a complete understanding of the problems. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS During the smoke testing evaluation in the fall of 2010, city staff was able to determine that some cross connections exist between the storm and the sanitary sewer system lines. However, the scope and magnitude of the flooding problems are beyond the capacity of the Sewer Division at this time. To determine the real cause and resolution of the issues present, the entire sanitary and storm basins need to be analyzed to determine capacity and potential infiltration issues. The scope of the engineering services will include topographical surveys (to include basement elevations) and flow modeling of the storm and sanitary sewer systems, which encompasses a graphical computer generated simulation of the sewer system. Also included in the project scope is cleaning and televising of the sewer mains, a complete basin survey, a resident survey, identification of sewer rehabilitation options, conducting flow simulations, data analysis and recommendations for remediation. 41) 2 r INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Engineering Enterprises, Inc. Wills, Burke, Kelsey Associates, Ltd. Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. Baxter&Woodman, Inc. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS The cost proposals for this engineering study were reviewed by the selection committee. The cost of the contract with Engineering Enterprises, Inc. is$178,992. The team unanimously chose Engineering Enterprises, Inc. and believes that they will provide the best value to the City due to their understanding of the scope of the project and their systematic approach to finding a solution. Funds in the amount of $115,102 were previously budgeted in project number 339995, North Commonwealth Engineering/Reconstruction. The remaining funds of $63,894 have been appropriated in the proposed 2011 sewer fund budget, account number 430-4202- 772.93-90, "Other Major Repairs". rik BUDGET IMPACT FUND(S) ACCOUNT(S) PROJECT#(S) AMOUNT AMOUNT BUDGETED AVAILABLE Riverboat 276-0000-791.93-80 339995 $115,102 $115,102 LEGAL IMPACT None.
