RE: Award Bid to RJN Group Inc. for 2021 Flow Monitoring Collection Services for
Wastewater Division ($101,000.00)
BACKGROUND
For the past eight years the City has utilized a contractor to conduct flow monitoring services to
collect sanitary sewer flow data used to identify areas of high inflow and infiltration of clear
water into the sanitary sewer system. Clear water entering the sanitary system can be a
significant problem. The sanitary system is not designed to handle these clear water flows,
which may result in sanitary backups into residents’ homes. This project will install flow
monitoring at 12 locations in the sewer system. This data is utilized to calibrate and verify the
sanitary collection system model that was developed by Jacobs. Additional flow monitoring is
being done at a majority of the various sanitary district’s connection points to the City’s sanitary
system. This data will be used to help determine flow volume allocations for each of the sanitary
districts the City provides wastewater treatment.
ANALYSIS
Working with Public Works staff, Purchasing prepared bid specifications for this project. The
bid was advertised in the local newspaper, posted on Onvia DemandStar and sent to known
firms that provide these services. Bids were due April 6, 2021. The bid tab is attached. Based
on the bid review, it was the consensus of City staff that the low bid received from RJN Group,
Inc. met the minimum bid requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact of this bid is $101,000.00. The 2021 Wastewater Division Operating
Budget allocated $125,000.00 for this project. This project will be charged to A/N# 05511920 6450
(Engineering & Consulting).
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award this bid to RJN Group, Inc. for
$101,000.00.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
