9.       Comprehensive Sewer System Plan Professional Services Agreement
- Les MacDonald

As part of the management of a public utility, it is prudent to perform
a periodic review of the existing system and an assessment of system
needs to resolve existing issues and meet long term growth,
rehabilitation, and capacity demands.  The State of Idaho has, in recent
years, recognized the importance of such reviews and has joined most
other States in requiring public water and sewer systems to prepare a
System Facilities Plan which accomplishes these assessments.  A
Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer System Plan (CSSP) meets the requirements
of the State for a System Facilities Plan by providing a review of the
existing system, identification of system inadequacies, and detailing
system improvements to resolve deficiencies and meet future growth
needs.  Public Works prepared a draft scope of work and a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) which was advertised. Seven Statements of
Qualification (SOQ) were received and reviewed.  After an initial
screening, four consultants were interviewed and the selection committee
chose Keller Associates to perform the study.  The draft scope of
services has been substantially reviewed and revised with the assistance
of Keller Associates and a draft professional services agreement
prepared for Council consideration.  Reviewed by the Public
Works/Finance Committee on July 27, 2009.

ACTION:  Approve the Agreement or take such other action deemed
appropriate.
