Title
Resolution for Approval of Professional Services Agreement with CDM Michigan Inc., ($458,172.00) for the Water Distribution System Master Plan and Hydraulic Model Upgrade Project
Memorandum
Your approval is requested to approve a Professional Services Agreement with CDM Michigan Inc., in the amount of $458,172.00 for the Water Distribution System Master Plan and Hydraulic Model Upgrade Project.
All public water systems are required by the Michigan Safe Drinking Water Act (Act 399) to complete a master plan every five years. In 2006, the City completed the Water Treatment and Facilities Master Plan. This plan evaluated the source and treatment components of the water system. The Water Distribution System Master Plan will cover the remaining components of the water system and will fulfill the Act 399 requirements.
The goal of this project is to ensure a sustainable water distribution system that is protective of the public health while maintaining an acceptable level of service. This will be accomplished by analyzing current and future population projections, water use and distribution piping data, and by updating the water system’s hydraulic model. When complete, the Master Plan will be used to identify changes needed to improve water system quantity and quality, and provide a prioritized list of recommended projects that can be used in capital project planning.
As part of this project, an interface will be developed between the hydraulic model and the city’s recently completed Automated Meter Reading (AMR) data system. This interface will enable the model to utilize daily consumption data in allocating water demands in the hydraulic model. This improvement permits the use of actual customer water usage patterns in analyses, and therefore more accurately predicts future improvements needed on the system.
RFP #677 originally included two project components; a distribution system planning component(listed in RFP as the “Primary” component) and a l...
