title
Resolution amending the agreement with Veolia ES Emerald Park Landfill, LLC (Veolia) to provide disposal of sediment removed from storm sewers in the 111th Street Pump Station drainage basin.
body
WHEREAS, the Common Council has authorized a contract with National Power Rodding Corporation for the cleaning of storm sewers in the 111th Street Pump Station drainage basin to obtain the original flow capacity of the system and thereby alleviate street flooding; and
WHEREAS, the estimated cost of $70,000 for the sediment removal was not included in National Power Rodding Corporation's contract because the Engineering Department negotiated a reduced rate from Veolia, who is our current landfill/transfer station provider; and,
WHEREAS, given Veolia's current contractual relationship with the City and immediate availability to handle this sediment, this amendment is beneficial in completing the sewer cleaning project in a timely manner and reduce the risk of further flooding in this drainage area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of West Allis that it accepts the amendment in the estimated amount of $70,000 as submitted by Veolia for providing this disposal service, in compliance with Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources rules and regulations and the funding of such services shall be paid by the City's Stormwater Utility.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of Public Works/City Engineer is hereby authorized to proceed with the amended Agreement and the Purchasing/Central Services Division is hereby authorized to issue a purchase order for the aforementioned services.
