The resolution authorizes the Mayor to execute an agreement with Tele Scan, Inc., for the expenditure of up to $30,000 for the investigation and mapping services necessary in the maintenance of the City's storm sewer system and in meeting the mandates of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit the City is currently operating under. BACKGROUND: On January 23, 2003, the City Council authorized a permit with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for the operation of the City's storm water collection system. The major requirements of this permit are for the City to develop storm water ordinances for construction site erosion control, non-storm water discharges, and storm water management for land development; public education and involvement; and the complete mapping of the City's storm drainage system. Over the past two years the City Council authorized agreements with Tele Scan, Inc., to assist City staff with identifying and mapping the City's storm drains. Under the past two contracts, Tele Scan mapped over three quarters of the City. This information is placed on the City's utility maps in accordance with the requirements of the NPDES permit. As noted in previous correspondence to the City Council, the construction oversight requirements placed upon the Engineering Division do not allow adequate time for staff to complete the work required by the NPDES permit. Tele Scan is currently performing a very vital project for the City in the televising and other investigative work for the sanitary sewer system. Tele Scan's expertise and investigative ability lends itself quite well to the investigation and mapping services required for the fulfillment of the storm drain portion of the City's permit obligations. They have performed this work very well over the past two years.
