The Wastewater Department is developing this plan with Brown and Caldwell to enhance
the overall asset management program. This program will allow for better decisions in

also allow better planning of replacement of assets and make better decisions based on
asset attributes, valuation risk and the remaining useful life of the asset.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the agreement with Brown and Caldwell, Inc. to provide professional services
for the project will not exceed $151,110. 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
ALTERNATIVES:
The no-action alternative would cause the City to have to continue to have risks
associated with not having data to make better decisions based on data on the life cycle
of assets.
