RE: Agreement for Engineering Services for Sanitary Sewer System Flow Monitoring
Services/ADS Environmental Services (ADS) ($57,500)
Engineering staff requested and reviewed proposals from two firms for sanitary sewer flow
monitoring. Collected information will be used to calibrate and verify a Sanitary Sewer System
Management Model (SSSMM) hydraulic model that was developed by others for the City's
collection system and will continue to work to identify areas of high inflow and infiltration of clear
water into the sanitary sewer system.
Engineering staff reviewed the proposals and costs. The service to be provided is flow
monitoring of sanitary sewer mains at five locations for a period of 90 days. ADS of Huntsville,
Alabama, with a regional office in Chicago, Illinois, was chosen to perform these services
because of their experience in providing these services. Additionally, ADS has the ability to
provide remote monitoring of the equipment. This allows for quicker identification of any issues.
The proposed fee is not to exceed $57,500. Funds for these services are budgeted in the
Sanitary Sewer section of the CIP.
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 a formal, sealed quote process. 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.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this engineering services agreement.
