SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT

AND CALDWELL, INC., FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
EVALUATING AND DEVELOPING PRETREATMENT LOCAL LIMITS
AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE SAME
SUMMARY:
This Resolution accepts an agreement between the City of Pueblo and Brown and
Caldwell, Inc. for professional services associated with evaluation and development of
pretreatment local limits. The agreement will ensure that the pretreatment local limits
are protective of the sanitary sewer system and water reclamation facility from industrial
and other nondomestic discharges.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Resolution No. 15497 awarded an agreement between the City of Pueblo and Brown
and Caldwell, Inc., to provide engineering services for the Pueblo Wastewater
Department, on February 12, 2024
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department has administered an EPA approved Pretreatment
Program since 1984. The Pretreatment Program is responsible for regulation of
industrial and nondomestic discharges to the sanitary sewer system to protect
infrastructure, wastewater personnel, and reduce conventional and toxic pollutant levels
discharged by industries and other nondomestic wastewater sources into the City’s
sanitary sewer system.. Local limits are intended to protect the needs specific to our
City’s sewer system and water reclamation facility, and the receiving waters. These
limits require periodic evaluation to ensure that they are protective.
The purpose of this project is to review the local limits to ensure that they are protective
of our system.
This agreement between the City of Pueblo and Brown and Caldwell, Inc. authorizes
Brown and Caldwell, Inc. to evaluate and develop pretreatment local limits for the
Wastewater Department to ensure protection of the wastewater system.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds for this project are available from the Sewer User Fund and have been
appropriated in the Sewer User Fund, Professional Services.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
The no-approval alternative is to forego evaluation of current local limits. If current local
limits are not applicable to controllable discharges or are not protective of the
wastewater system, there is potential for violations of the water reclamation facility’s
discharge permit.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
