PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM <br /> NO. 2015-10 <br /> DATE: March 9, 2015 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor McElroy and City Council Members <br /> FROM: Gregg D. Zientara, Interim City Manager <br /> Richard G. Marley, P.E., Public Works Director <br /> SUBJECT: Agreement with Bainbridge, Gee, Milanski, and Associates, Inc (BGM) to Design <br /> the McKinley/7th Ward Sewer Rehabilitation Project, <br /> City Project 2015-07 <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign, <br /> and the City Clerk to attest, a Professional Engineering Services Agreement between the City of Decatur <br /> and Bainbridge, Gee, Milanski, and Associates, Inc. (BGM)to Design the McKinley/7th Ward Sewer <br /> Rehabilitation Project for a fee not to exceed $297,000. An estimate of the total probable project cost is <br /> shown in Table 1. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> See Appendix A for a listing of prior Council actions. <br /> SANITARY SEWER PRIORITIES: <br /> Under the direction of the City Council, the Public Works Department has established four priorities to <br /> improve the City's sanitary sewer collection system as defined in the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. <br /> 1. Critical Large Diameter Sewer Rehabilitation. <br /> 2. Sanitary Sewer Overflows Due to Inflow and Infiltration. <br /> 3. System Operation and Maintenance <br /> 4. Small Diameter Sewer Rehabilitation <br /> The McKinley/ 7th Ward Sewer Rehabilitation project addresses sanitary sewer priority 1, Critical Large <br /> Diameter Sewer Rehabilitation. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The City's large diameter critical sewers are sewers with diameters ranging from 3 to 7 feet. They are <br /> major trunk sewers that serve large areas of the City and are vital to the City's sewer system. There are <br /> 5 critical sanitary sewers that are owned and operated by the City: 7th Ward Sewer, McKinley Avenue <br /> Sewer, Union Street Sewer, Lake Shore Drive Sewer, and Broadway Sewer, see Figure 1. Failure of a <br /> critical sewer would have dire consequences for the City such as loss of service for large sections of the <br /> City, pollution of the land and our drinking water supply, very high repair costs and possibly significant <br /> private property and building damage. <br /> Page I 1 <br />
