Resolution 2020-37 - Agreement with INFLO Design Group for Review and Preparation of Various Water Department Reports

Background

The Water Services Department is requesting approval of an agreement with Inflo Design Group for preparation, review and updates of various Water Service Department reports and plans required under State and Federal regulations.

Inflow Design Group has previously been contracted by the Department for assistance with preparing reports including the department’s annual water loss audit report submitted to the State each year. In addition to this report which will again need to be prepared this summer, the Department intends to update several additional reports or plans in the next several years.

These reports include, a review and update of the department’s Sewer Capacity, Management, Operations and Maintenance Plan (CMOM). The CMOM Plan is an EPA regulatory requirement for sewer utilities and provides for an information-based plan focused on reducing sanitary sewer overflows. CMOM Program activities include a wide range of programs such as: developing and maintaining a sewer system model; development and maintenance of an asset management program; implementation of a fats, oils and grease (FOG) reduction program; sewer pipeline cleaning and inspection program; among other activities the department currently manages.

In FY 2021, EPA requires water utilities to develop and implement a “Risk and Resilience Assessments and Emergency Response Plan.” This new plan is a requirement of the 2018 Water Infrastructure Act and requires water utilities to hire an outside consultant to complete a risk assessment and review of the department’s emergency response plan for the water distribution system and submit findings and certification of completion to EPA.

Other plan updates in the next several years include an updated evaluation of the sewer system emergency response plan and evaluation and improvements from water system leak detection results.

Accordingly, staff is recommending approval of the attached professional services agreement with Inflo Design Group at the hourly rates established in the agreement. The agreement allows for increases in rates based on annual CPI adjustments and renewals annually for continued services as outlined in the agreement.

Should you have any questions, please contact Chris Milton, Water Services Director.
