MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager /����Z
DATE: September 8, 2016
RE: Agreement for Engineering Services for Sanitary Sewer System Flow Monitoring Services/
ADS Environmental Services ($62,500)
Public Works staff requested and reviewed a proposal for sanitary sewer flow monitoring from ADS
Environmental Services (ADS) of Huntsville, Alabama. The City has used ADS for flow monitoring for the
past three years to collect sanitary sewer flow data, 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 CH2M HILL. ADS and CH2M HILL have a good working
relationship on sharing flow data to calibrate and update the sanitary collection system model.
Public Works staff reviewed the proposal and cost. The service to be provided is flow monitoring of
sanitary sewer mains at six (6) 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 $62,500. 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.
