Explanation

1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton, Inc ( EMH&T) in the amount of $907,607.49 for professional engineering services for the Sullivant Avenue Sewer System Inflow & Infiltration Remediation Project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage; to authorize the transfer within the Sanitary B.A.B.s (Build America Bonds) Fund; to authorize expenditure of $907,607.49 from the Sanitary B.A.B.s (Build America Bonds) Fund; and to amend the 2010 Capital Improvement Budget. This project was a result of a consent order as contained in the Wet Weather Management Plan.

This project work will clean and televise all sanitary and a limited number of storm sewers within the project boundary; investigate the area's water-in-basement (WIB) complaints in the past 6 years; build a detailed hydraulic model of the sanitary and storm sewers (include a thorough flow monitoring, and rain gage program); perform "representative" public and private investigations to estimate the impact of all private and public sources of inflow and infiltration (I&I); and use all of the results to recommend projects and programs to mitigate I&I and its impact on the areas' WIB. The preliminary engineering for the I&I study and recommendations is to be completed within 18 months after the effective date of the Notice to Proceed.
