Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with Stantec Consulting Services Inc., in the amount of $1,526,851.51 for professional engineering services for the Plum Ridge Sewer System Inflow & Infiltration Remediation Project for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, to authorize the transfer and appropriate $26,851.51 within the Sanitary B.A.B.s (Build America Bonds) Fund; to authorize expenditure of $1,526,851.51 from the Sanitary B.A.B.s (Build America Bonds) Fund, and to amend the 2009 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 24 months after the effective date of the Notice to Proceed.
Future Modifications: It is estimated that a planned contract modification of $500,000 will be required for late 2010 for Driveway Drain Removal Engineering.
