� � _ COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM Engineering & Infrastructure Memorandum NO. Z005-38 June 9, 2005 TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council FROM: Steve Garman, City Manager VY�� Stephen Swanson, P.E.,Director of Engine ring & Infrastructure Mathew C. Newell, P.E., City Engineer� Richard N. Berard, Civil Engineer II � SUBJECT: Update of Water System Master Plan by Strand Associates,Inc. SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by staff that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing an agreement with Strand Associates, Inc. to provide engineering services for the update of the Water System Master Plan. The proposed agreement is for a fee not to exceed $28,200.00. BACKGROUND: City staff is proceeding with the design to construct in 2006 and 2007 a new elevated water tank in the south side of the City and a new water distribution main between the South Water Treatment Plant and the two existing water tanks. A Water System Master Plan was completed by Strand Associates, Inc. for the City in May, 2002. That report made recommendations for system improvements based on the system configuration and estimates of demand developed prior to ADM taking possession of the North Water Treatment Plant and the removal of significant water demand from the City water system. The 2002 report examined areas within the then existing water service area plus anticipated expansion into the northeast, north and west of the City. Almost no population growth was then anticipated nor any system expansion was expected south of Lake Decatur. The southern edge of the service area was Grove Road, with only a second feed main to Mt. Zion anticipated south of Grove Road. The impending construction projects referred to above, experience with reduced ADM demands, and recent development projects that are expected to stimulate residential growth south of Lake Decatur, make it an appropriate time to update the Water System Master Plan. The results of the proposed update of the Water System Master Plan will provide valuable information to finalize the design details for the said impending construction projects.
