3. SUMMARY OF TASKS: The scope of work for this project includes work items for the initial phase of the project and shall consist of closed circuit televising and sonar to assess the structural and operational condition of the large diameter trunk sewers identified on the project Exhibit, the providing of a Technical Memorandum outlining the structural and operational conditions of the sewers, and all other necessary items for the completion of the Memorandum.
If the assessment of the sewers yields that sewers are in need of immediate repair, the contract may be renewed and/or modified to perform additional detailed design services including: plan survey, development of the contract drawings and bidding documents, permits applications, preparation of easements, engineering services during construction, and production of record drawings.
4. MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT: The Department anticipates requesting additional future renewals and/or modifications to this contract.
5. PROJECT TIMELINE: This project is planned for approximately four (4) years, completing in September 2024.

7. Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is not requested at this time.
8. Economic Impact: This project will reduce the overall risk to the sanitary sewer collection system by assessing one of the City’s most critical assets for its structural and operational condition. This information will allow for future prioritization of repairs and/or rehabilitation, and provide valuable information so that any eventual alternative development for repair/rehabilitation can utilize the direct financial, social, and environmental factors affecting these sewers in the evaluation process.
9. Fiscal Impact: An expenditure of up to $1,428,754.66 from the Sanitary Sewer General Obligation Bond Fund 6109 is necessary; and an amendment to the 2019 Capital Improvement Budget is necessary to provide sufficient authority.
