Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an engineering agreement with American Structurepoint for the Center Large Diameter Condition Assessment Project, CIP 650725-100009. The purpose of the Center Large Diameter Condition Assessment is to perform a sewer condition assessment of all combined sewers larger than 36” in the downtown area as well as sanitary sewers 36” and larger that have not been previously televised to determine the debris accumulation and structure integrity of the pipes. A future modification is anticipated.

2. THE PROJECT TIMELINE: It is anticipated that a notice to proceed will be issued in January of 2016 with a start date of March 2016. It is anticipated that it will take 24 months to complete the assessment.

3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: An emergency designation is not requested at this time.

4. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE No.: 35-1127317 | MAJ | Exp. 08/25/2017

5. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: This project will extend the remaining useful life of the most critical sewers within the City by making necessary repairs. It will also lower operation and maintenance costs by increasing the pipe flow efficiency. It will also reduce the risk of collapse which could cause SSO (sewer system overflow) to adjacent water ways or WIB's (water in basement).

6. FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation and transfer of $1,002,541.80 from the Sanitary Sewer Reserve Fund to the Sanitary Sewer General Obligation (G.O.) Bond Fund, Fund 664; to authorize the creation of sufficient budget authority; to authorize the expenditure of up to $1,002,541.80 from the G.O. Bond Fund, Fund 664 and to amend the 2015 Capital Improvements Budget to establish sufficient budget authority for this ordinance. Monies for this contract from the Sanitary Sewer Reserve Fund will be provided from a future Bond Sale via the transfer detailed in this ordinance.
