It is expected that the full completion and implementation of the master plan will require several years and additional engineering agreements. Future work will include implementing the recommendations identified in this initial phase of the master plan. Asset management techniques will be developed with a special emphasis on the City's critical sewers. Future work will include providing recommendations, alternatives, and planning tools to achieve a multi year rehabilitation plan along with the necessary funding required to sustain it. Council approval of future phase work will be sought as each scope of work is developed. The City recommends BGM as the most qualified firm to perform the work required to implement a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan for the City. BGM is a local firm that has worked with the City and the Sanitary District of Decatur over the years on many sanitary sewer projects. Their knowledge of the City's system is unparalleled.
