Analysis
Due to recurring issues in the wastewater systems a result of added development, maintenance events and expansion of existing developments, we have an on-going need to ask our wastewater master plan engineers, Espey Consultants dba RPS, to run various scenarios in the wastewater model they developed for our system. This is necessary due to the need to ensure adequate capacity for new development and promptly address any maintenance issues that may cause sanitary sewer overflows, which are prohibited by law. Therefore we are proposing to award this support contract to Espey Consultants dba RPS and amending the budget accordingly.
Financial Consideration
Funding in the amount of $64,050 is available by approving an ordinance transferring and appropriating from the unobligated fund balance in the Wastewater Capital Projects Fund (500692) to WO #01413803 (WWST Issues Support)
