end
BACKGROUND:
The City of Joliet's Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) for the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Elimination Project requires monitoring of rain events at all five remaining overflow structures. Volume measurements of overflows are required for reporting to the Environmental Protection Agency. In late 2013, the City contracted with EmNet, LLC (now part of Xylem Vue Inc.) to complete installation of monitoring stations to accomplish this requirement. Maintenance and monitoring services are required to accurately report the overflow events. Also included in the proposed 2024 monitoring contract is telemetry for fifteen satellite sanitary sewer system meter sites, nine rain gauges, and three portable units for various flow studies. The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
Xylem Vue Inc. has provided a proposal in the amount of $63,522.00 to continue operation and maintenance of thirty-two sanitary sewer system monitoring sites through February 28, 2025.
Section 2-438 of the City of Joliet Code of Ordinances states that purchases over $25,000.00 may be awarded without written specifications or bidding under certain circumstances. Two (2) of these circumstances apply to this purchase:
