SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies the award of a professional services agreement (Project No. 21-

Group, Inc. DBA FCS Group dated October 20, 2021 in an amount not to exceed

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Section 16-6-26(c) of the Pueblo Municipal Code allows the Stormwater Utility
Enterprise to perform biennial reviews of Stormwater Utility Enterprise’s service
charges to ascertain if the stormwater utility service charges generate sufficient
revenue to pay the total project costs. Financial Consulting Solutions Group, Inc. DBA
FCS Group was selected to perform a rate study for the Stormwater Utility Enterprise.
The City of Pueblo (City) asked FCS Group to investigate an additional scenario that
was not part of the initial scope of services for the rate study. FCS was asked to
investigate what additional funding would be necessary for the City to assume
additional maintenance responsibilities of stormwater detention facilities that are not
being maintained in residential neighborhoods and are not the City’s responsibility to
maintain. The attached Amendment No. 1 to the agreement for professional services
between the City and FCS Group includes the expenses necessary for FCS Group to
complete the additional work.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds for this project, including the proposed amendment, will be paid from the
Stormwater Utility Enterprise budget (Project SW1902).
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Denial of this Resolution would prevent the City from executing the additional work on
the rate study for the Stormwater Utility Division.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
