Newell, P.E., City Engineer,A,�,� <br /> V�N�-, <br /> SUBJECT: Shadow Lane Sanitary Sewer Outfall Study, City Project 2002-06 <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> An item on the agenda for the March 4, 2002, City Council Meeting is the authorization of an <br /> agreement for design services with Bainbridge, Gee, Milanski &Associates, Inc. (BGM) for a fee <br /> not to exceed $48,500 to study the sanitary sewers feeding into the Shadow Lane Sanitary Sewer <br /> Outfall. <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached agreement. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The attached drawing shows the proposed Shadow Lane Sanitary Sewer Outfall Study area. The <br /> sanitary sewer system in this area services over 500 homes. Over the past 10 years, sanitary <br /> sewer backups and overflows have plagued the down stream portion of the sewer which extends <br /> down Wolf Road and Shadow Lane on down to an interceptor maintained by the Sanitary District <br /> of Decatur. These overflows have caused sewage to be discharged into private homes and into <br /> nearby Steven's Creek. It is paramount that the City aggressively address sanitary sewer <br /> overflows and strive to identify and correct problems as they arise. <br /> City staff proposes to have BGM perform an indepth review of the sanitary sewer system <br /> draining the Shadow Lane area and provide the City with realistic options that can be enacted to <br /> correct the overflow problems being experienced. BGM is a very competent and respected firm <br /> in the field of sanitary sewer design and experience has shown that they will provide an excellent <br /> review of the sanitary sewer system. <br />
