MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 20, 2013
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
RE: Engineering Services Agreement for Preparing WDNR Air Emissions Permit
CH2M HILL ($32,000)
Historically, generators, boilers, and related utility equipment have been exempt from Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) air emission permitting requirements. The WDNR has not
looked at air emission permitting requirements as part of their review and approval of utility projects. This
includes the backup generators and boilers at the Water Filtration Plant (constructed in 1999) and the
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) generator (constructed in 2003). In order to verify the status of air
emission permit requirements at these facilities, CH21VIHill was hired to do an inventory and applicability
review. This review found that the WWTP needs to apply for an air emission permit.
CH2M HILL has provided an engineering proposal in the amount of $32,000 for the air emission
permitting process at the WWTP. CH2M HILL's knowledge of the system developed during the review of
the facilities for air emission permit requirements will assist them in providing effective and efficient use of
resources in the completion of the permitting process.
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a
specialized nature, including engineering services, may be approved by the City Manager without the use
of formal, sealed quotes. I have reviewed this agreement and, in accordance with Section 12 -16 of the
Code, I am hereby submitting this report regarding this engineering services agreement.
These engineering services will be funded through the Wastewater Utility.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this engineering services agreement.
