Explanation
BACKGROUND:  This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an engineering agreement with Prime AE Group for the Blueprint Dorris Weber Area Integrated Solutions Project. It is the objective of the City to mitigate DSRs (Designed Sewer Reliefs) overflows throughout the City’s collection system to the 10-year level of service.  The City will evaluate and determine if this is best accomplished by eliminating inflow and infiltration (I/I) into sanitary sewers, and constructing green infrastructure to retain and treat the resulting stormwater.  
To accomplish this objective, the scope of work for this project will include all the requisite evaluation, formulation, and design to produce fully independent construction documents for the remediation of inflow and infiltration (I/I), green infrastructure (GI) technologies, and other related activities and/or documents necessary for project completion. A future modification is anticipated. (For additional information, please see Section 5 of the Director’s Information Sheet)
