The work to be done under Contract #10643 authorizes the District to enter into contract Amendment No. 8 with Camp
Dresser & McKee, Inc. This amendment will appropriate additional funds for detailed hydraulic modeling work which was
completed to determine the severity and extent of surcharging, basement backups, and street flooding within the Glaise
Creek and Rock Creek areas of the combined sewer system. The original contract funding allowed for limited hydraulic
model analysis to identify problems and solutions during large storm events. The additional hydraulic analysis allowed for
the evaluation of localized improvements throughout the areas to mitigate recurring problems in smaller rain events. The
original amount appropriated for this contract was $1,900,000.00. With the current appropriation of $100,000, the final
contract amount will be $2,000,000.00.
FUNDING/COST SUMMARY:
Budgeted: Capital Improvement Program Budget Year: FY2005, Pg. 42 Amount: $1,900,000
Fund Name: #660 – Sanitary Replacement Fund
Additional Comments: The preliminary design work has been completed, which includes recommended improvements for
located problem areas and overall area-wide issues. The purpose of this contract is to provide a preliminary design of
projects that entail relief, replacement, rehabilitation, or other innovative solutions to mitigate or eliminate sewer system
surcharging, street flooding, basement backups, and sewer failures. The preliminary design scope of services include:
internal sewer inspections, sewer scheme and layout investigation and analysis, hydrology, sewer and inlet capacity
analysis, flow metering and analysis, field surveys, geotechnical investigations, community impacts, and alternative
development and analysis. Preliminary design documents that are prepared will present alternatives with recommended
solutions, along with hydraulic and sewer design parameters, preliminary cost estimates, project prioritization and phasing,
and guidance for final design and subsequent construction projects. Coordination with the District’s Combined Sewer
Overflow Long Term Control Plan and Planning Consultants will be included as part of the project.

This ordinance establishes the tax bill boundary for properties located on Bond Place and West Watson Road in the City of
Sunset Hills. Eight (8) of the twelve (12) parcels (67%) have petitioned the MSD Board of Trustees to form this special
benefit assessment subdistrict to extend public sewers and upgrade existing private sewers to serve their properties. The
service area includes 12 parcels in the area of the intersection of Bond Place and West Watson using individual septic tanks.
Individual lot areas have been equalized to generate equal tax bills. The Boundary Hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, March
29, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. at the City of Sunset Hills City Hall Assembly Room, 3939 S. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63127.

Additional Comments: The conceptual project to address the issues within this proposed subdistrict consists of the
construction of approximately 60 feet of 8-inch diameter sanitary sewers and appurtenances, and the rehabilitation of
approximately 700 feet of existing private 8-inch sewers at a conceptual total project cost of $94,000. The cost of these
public sewers and private sewer upgrades would be borne 100% by the property owners of the 12 parcels in the subdistrict

The work to be done under Contract #10629 consists of the construction of the installation of the new procured electrical
switchgear and appurtenances. The purpose of this project is to install the procured main electrical switchgear equipment at
the Grand Glaize Wastewater Treatment Plant. This project is scheduled to be completed in 120 days.
FUNDING/COST SUMMARY:
Budgeted: Capital Improvement Program Budget Year: FY 2011, Pg. 55 Amount: $250,000
Fund Name: #660 – Sanitary Replacement Fund
Additional Comments: The Grand Glaize WWTP and the maintenance yard facilities will need to be powered by the two
on site generators while the switchgear is being installed. The generators operate on diesel fuel (consume about 3 gallons
per minute) and will need to operate continuously until the new replacement switchgear is (completely installed, tested,
inspected and accepted by Ameren and) fully operational. The new switchgear is being installed in the same location as the
existing switchgear because of limited space at the site and to make use of the existing infrastructure and power supply
conduits. A contingency allowance of $35,000 is included in the appropriation for diesel fuel and other possible
miscellaneous costs. Direct payment will be made to the supply vendor currently providing fuel under agreement for the
Grand Glaize Wastewater Treatment Plant.
