(BGM), for professional services to design the replacement of the K-Mart <br /> force main and provide construction documents, permits, easements, and support for the City <br /> of Decatur. The resolution authorizes the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest to an <br /> agreement with BGM and for the expenditure of up to $41,546 under this agreement. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> December 15, 2008 - Council approved Resolution R2008-231 authorizing an <br /> Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement with the Sanitary District of Decatur, (SDD)to <br /> replace the City's K-Mart pump station located north of the Rural King Shopping Center on <br /> the east side of the city. The resolution authorized the City to reimburse the SDD up to <br /> $138,000 for design and construction costs related to this pump station. <br /> July 27, 2009—Council approved Resolution R2009-65 authorizing the study of the K-Mart <br /> pump station to define the potential service area south of U.S. Route 36 along Illinois Route <br /> 121 and recommend options to accommodate the anticipated flows. <br /> September 4, 2009—Green sheet sent to Council detailing the findings of K-Mart pump <br /> station study prepared by BGM. The report defined the future anticipated flow of the <br />' developing area around the K-Mart pump station and the recommended solution to serve the <br /> area. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The K-mart pump station was built by the developer ofthe K-Mart Plaza in 1974 to serve the <br /> development. The pumps were replaced in 1985 without expanding the capacity of the pump <br /> station. Due to recent growth of the area around the K-Mart Plaza and the potential future <br /> growth in the area, the existing pump station and force main does not have sufficient capacity <br /> to handle the anticipated flows. The pump station capacity needs to be expanded to serve the <br /> developing drainage area. <br /> Page � 1 <br />
