Flores and Members of City Council CC: Nicholas A. Gradisar, Mayor VIA: Brenda Armijo, Acting City Clerk FROM: Nancy Keller, Wastewater Director SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $294,773 BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO AND BROWN AND CALDWELL FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH UPDATING THE SANITARY SEWER MASTER PLAN FOR THE CITY OF PUEBLO SUMMARY: This Ordinance accepts an agreement between the City and our Engineer of Record, Brown and Caldwell, Inc to provide professional services to upgrade the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan for the City of Pueblo and provide a hydraulic model. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION : Resolution No. 14081 awarded an agreement between the City of Pueblo and Brown and Caldwell, Inc., to provide engineering services for the Pueblo Wastewater Department, on November 12, 2018. BACKGROUND : New developments along the boundaries of the existing Pueblo city limits is driving the extension of the sanitary sewer collection system, as well as internal developments increasing the upsizing needs within the existing sanitary sewer system. An updated master plan is needed to assure orderly and efficient development of the sanitary sewer system. The City’s existing sanitary sewer master plan was prepared in 2009 but significant issues have been found that were not addressed in that update. Technology has improved since that time allowing better measurement and recording of the collection system parameters, but the datum that the city’s reference point for elevation was based on has changed over the years causing inconsistencies in elevation data. The master plan project will review the existing sanitary sewer system, identify hydraulic bottlenecks, review land use and demographic data to project growth areas, correct datum discrepancies when possible and develop a computer flow model to aid in future collection system planning based on current data. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS : The cost of the agreement is not to exceed a price of $294,773. Funds are available from the Sewer User Funds and have been budgeted and appropriated to WW1503. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION : Not applicable STAKEHOLDER PROCESS : None ALTERNATIVES : As new developments occur the city can allow the developer to attach to existing infrastructure without requiring them to pay for the impact of the increased flow. When the development begins to impact the collection system, the rates would have to be increased to pay for upgrades to the collection system in that area. RECOMMENDATION : Approval of the Ordinance. Attachments : The agreement for Professional Services between the City of Pueblo and Brown and Caldwell, Inc. and a copy of the Scope of Work is attached.
