MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the C on Council
FROM: James Rabe, Director of Public Works
DATE: March 9, 2017
RE: Agreement for Engineering Services for Sanitary Sewer System Flow Monitoring Services/ ADS
Environmental Services ($76,000)
BACKGROUND
Public Works staff requested and reviewed a proposal for sanitary sewer flow monitoring from ADS Environmental
Services (ADS) of Huntsville, Alabama.
ANALYSIS
The City has used ADS for flow monitoring for the past four 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.
FISCAL IMPACT
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 90 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 $76,000. If we get enough rain events within the 90 -day period, the 30 -day extension will not be necessary
and the proposed fee would decrease to $62,500. Funds for these services are budgeted in the Sanitary Sewer
section of the Capital Improvements Program.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a specialized nature,
including engineering services, may be procured without the use of formal, sealed quotes. I have reviewed the
agreement and in accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am hereby recommending that the Common Council
approve this agreement.
Approved,
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
