(BGM) for a fee not to exceed $30,000 to study the sanitary sewers in the Kaydon Drive -Imboden Drive area. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached agreement. BACKGROUND: � The attached drawing shows the proposed Kaydon Drive - Imboden Drive Sanitary Sewer Study �� area. This sanitary sewer system covers an area that extends from Franklin Street Road on the east, the Illinois Central Rail Road on the west and Imboden Drive on the north. For many years, sanitary sewer backups and overflows have plagued several homes on Kaydon Drive and regular sewer overflows have occurred on Imboden Drive near Medial Drive. These overflows have caused sanitary sewage to be discharged into private homes and into nearby streams. It is paramount that the City aggressively address sanitary sewer overflows and strive to identify and , correct problems as they occur. City staff proposes to have BGM perform a review of the sanitary sewer system servicing the Kaydon Drive - Imboden Drive area and provide the City with realistic options that can be enacted to correct the overflow problems being experienced. BGM is a very competent and respected firm in the field of sanitary sewer design and experience has shown that they will provide an excellent review of the sanitary sewer system.
