MEMORANDUM

FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager ��_�Z

RE: Agreement for Engineering Services for Sanitary Sewer System Flow Monitoring
Services/ADS Environmental Services ($49,000)
Engineering staff requested and reviewed a proposal for sanitary sewer flow monitoring from
ADS Environmental Services (ADS) of Huntsville, Alabama. We have used ADS for flow
monitoring the last two years to collect flow data information, which was used to identify areas of
high inflow and infiltration of clear water into the sanitary sewer system and to calibrate and
verify the sanitary collection system model that was developed by others. ADS and CH2M HILL
have a good working relationship on sharing flow data to calibrate and update the sanitary
collection system model.
Engineering staff reviewed the proposal and cost. The service to be provided is flow monitoring
of sanitary sewer mains at six locations for a period of 60 days, with an option for 30 additional
days. ADS 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 $49,000.
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.
