Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ordinance 330-17 authorized the mayor to enter into a professional services agreement with Stantec Consulting, Inc. to assist with the completion of a comprehensive sustainable asset management plan for the Department of Public Utilities as identified by the 2015 performance audit of the DPU. The scope of work included in this contract was developed to meet and exceed the mandates of Senate Bill number 2 (SB 2) which legislated the requirements for a state-mandated asset management plan for Public Water Systems (PWS) at that time. Subsequently, the bill was amended to include a requirement for succession planning within the PWS. This ordinance requests the authorization and expenditure of $144,000 for professional engineering services through a supplement to the original contract with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to assist in the completion of a sustainable asset management plan that meets and exceeds the mandates of Senate Bill number 2 (SB 2) and addresses a deficiency identified by the 2015 Performance Audit of DPU. Pricing from the original contract will be held in place for the supplemental work.
