Explanation

BACKGROUND: The cooperative program of investigation by the U.S. Geological Survey has been continued for several years. It provides valuable water resource data to the City at much less than the cost of providing such data by other means. The program is sponsored by the Federal Government for forty percent (40%) of the cost for most of these projects. Their contract compliance number is 53-0196950.

The agreement will provide stream gauging, reservoir gauging, capture zone analysis, and Optimum Well Hydrology for Parsons Avenue Water Plant South Wellfield.

The Divisions of Water, and Sewerage and Drainage solicited a quotation from the U.S. Geological Survey in accordance with Section 329.07C.

FISCAL IMPACT: $236,400.00 has been budgeted for these services. The Divisions of Water, and Sewerage and Drainage have participated in a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey in the amount of $232,450.00 in 2003-2004, $226,100.00 in 2002-2003, $217,500.00 in 2001-2002.
