to $123,000. Laclede Gas stated that during their original estimate they neglected to take into account abatement of the
asbestos coated pipe and the costs for relocating the line extra deep. For this reason, we are requesting an additional
$44,000 to complete this project.

Designed by: RJN Group, Inc.
The work to be done under this contract consists of the construction of approximately 5,000 lineal feet of pipe sewers varying
in size from 8-inches to 48-inches in diameter and appurtenances. This also includes the removal of inflow sources at 123
residences in the City of Brentwood. This work includes disconnection/modification of downspouts, driveway drains, sump
pumps, vented cleanouts, defective lateral and other stormwater connections to the separate sanitary sewer. The purpose of
this project is to alleviate property loss and damage due to basement backups and overland flooding due to inadequate
combined sewers and sinkholes. This project is scheduled to be completed in 490 days.
FUNDING/COST SUMMARY:
Budgeted: Capital Improvement Program Budget Year: FY2009, Pg. 78 Amount: $2,900,000
Fund Name: #660– Sanitary Replacement Fund $1,845,000.00
#566 – Deer Creek OMCI $1,230,000.00
Additional Comments: During the construction of the CSO – Parkridge Addition Combined Sewer Separation and Relief
project, a large section of the trench collapsed and a five-foot deep hole developed in Tilles Park. After investigating the
cause, it was discovered that the new sewer alignment interrupted an underground seam of water that became active during
rain events. After consulting with our geotechnical engineer, it was determined that the rock backfill needed to be pressure
17 of 10/14/10
grouted to stop the flow of water and seal the sinkhole. The contractor performed this work on a time and material basis for
a total cost of $173,000.
After this project was bid, it was decided than an additional scope of work would be added to include a rain garden and
bioretention cell behind Mt. Calvary Church at 9321 Litzsinger Road. This work is being performed in conjunction with the
Missouri Botanical Gardens and Washington University. This work will include grading, soil replacement, required plantings,
and installation of approximately 2,870 square feet of bioretention cell and under drains. The cost to perform this work is
$150,000.
For these reasons, we are requesting an additional $300,000 from Fund #566 – Deer Creek OMCI to complete this project.
Previously appropriated contingency funds will make up the balance of the requested funding.

and rivers within the District’s jurisdiction. The samples are analyzed for numerous pollutants to determine the water quality
health of streams relative to MDNR water quality standards and the Clean Water Act. The District will use the analysis to
determine what projects and/or best management practices are necessary to meet the required water quality standards. The
water quality data will be used to monitor changes in water quality due to implementation of SSO, CSO and Phase II Storm
Water projects. The contract will consist of the following components:
· Sample six small streams twelve times for a total of 72 sampling events
· Sample nine sites on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers ten times for a total of 90 sampling events
· Measure stream flow during sampling events
· Perform laboratory analysis including nutrients, bacteria and other pollutants on all samples
· Validate water quality data and submit within six weeks of sample collection, prepare monthly progress reports
and issue an annual report within 2 months of final sampling event. A database will also be prepared for all past

Section 7.06 of the Plan of the District requires that an independent audit be conducted of the District’s management at least
every five years. The District’s last Management Audit was in 2005. A request for proposal was sent to 53 firms located
throughout the United States and responses were received from 8 firms. The combined firm proposal received from
Jefferson Wells International and Raftelis Financial Consultants proposed the lowest overall project cost of $196,000 and
included a work plan that was commensurate with the other proposers. This group is found to possess more than the
necessary experience and background required for this task.

While preparing to install the 175-foot long 72-inch tunnel to complete the construction of the Creve Coeur Creek Sanitary
Relief Phase I project, the contractor encountered soils that required dewatering. Since this tunnel will go under two, 36-inch
water lines owned by Missouri American Water, one, 72-inch and two, 60-inch water lines owned by St. Louis City Water,
both utilities were informed of the dewatering plan. The utilities have expressed concerns that dewatering will cause soil
consolidation and result in movement in the existing water mains. The utilities requested that a construction method be used
that allows for the smallest possible potential ground movement. Our contractor Millstone Bangert, using the professional
experience of Hayward Baker, has proposed to use a ground modification method along the tunneling alignment and around
the bore pits that would comply with the water utilities requests. The proposed ground modification method would involve jet
grouting of the soil below the water lines. The grouting method would eliminate the need to dewater during tunneling. For
this reason, we are requesting an additional $2,000,000 to complete the project. All additional work will be tracked on a time
and material basis.

Additional Comments:
Customer Satisfaction Surveying was first conducted by the District in 1996 and is conducted annually. Today, surveying
measures all areas of customer service. Results are used to measure customer awareness of MSD’s role in the community
and rate the quality of the services that the District provides.
This resolution authorizes the second of two option years for surveying services, as entailed in a contract entered into by
MSD and the ETC Institute in November 2009. For 2011, the following surveying will be conducted:
· Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey – Conducted annually, this surveying is used to measure customer awareness
of MSD’s role in the community and the services that it provides. The surveying extends to measuring the value that
customers/the community place on MSD services.
38 of 10/14/10
· Post-Contact Customer Survey – This surveying targets MSD customers that have contacted the District through
either its customer service number or its billing number. The surveying gathers input on the customer’s experience
immediately after their contact with MSD or a requested MSD service is completed. The surveying extends to a
customers experience with any MSD field personnel dispatched to handle the customer’s call.
· Construction Project Surveying – This surveying allows the District to gauge the experience that customers living in
close proximity to MSD construction projects have with a project’s execution.
· Backup Insurance Program Survey – This surveying has not been previously conducted by MSD. The surveying will
gauge the experience of a customer impacted by a basement backup and covered by MSD’s basement backup
insurance programs.
· Cashier Window Survey – This surveying allows the District to gauge the experience of customers that pay their bills
at the Cash Window at the District’s administrative offices located at 2350 Market Street, St. Louis, MO, 63103.
· Permit & Design Review Survey – This surveying allows the District to measure the quality and effectiveness of the
services that MSD provides for those individuals and contractors seeking to develop property and/or tap into MSD’s
sanitary system.
· Consultant Survey – This surveying has not been previously conducted by MSD. The surveying will allow the District
to measure the quality, effectiveness, and productivity of the relationship between MSD and the design and
engineering firms that provide services to the District.
Results of all surveying have been/will be used to improve customer service and the performance of MSD staff and
contractors.
The terms for these services call for a dollar amount not to exceed $74,830.00. The timeframe covered by this contract is
calendar year 2011 (January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2011).
Due to budgetary cuts currently being implemented, several of the surveying programs planned for calendar year 2010 were
cancelled and moved into calendar year 2011. If fiscal conditions in calendar year 2011 require, all or part of the surveying
programs listed above will again be cancelled or modified.
The ETC Institute previously provided surveying services for MSD from 2002 through 2010.
All 2011 surveying activities will be reported to the Board of Trustees in the spring of 2012.
