The work to be done under Contract #10715 consists of the construction of approximately 3,270 lineal feet of pipe sewers
varying in size from 12-inches to 18-inches in diameter and appurtenances. The purpose of this project is to alleviate
basement backups and overcharged sewer mains and elimination of two sanitary sewer bypasses. This project is scheduled
to be completed in 251 days.
FUNDING/COST SUMMARY:
Budgeted: Capital Improvement Program Budget Year: FY2010, Pg. 76 Amount: $1,200,000
Fund Name: #660 – Sanitary Replacement Fund
Additional Comments: During the design of the Northland Lateral Sanitary Relief (SKME-310) project it was anticipated
that the contractor would be able to support and trench beneath a straight section of an existing 12-inch water main.
However, when the main was exposed during construction, it was discovered that two, 22 degree elbows were located in the
12-inch water line at the same location the new 18-inch sanitary sewer was to cross the water main. Missouri American
Water determined that the 12-inch water main could not be crossed at that location and that the contractor’s only options
were to relocate the water main or construct the new sanitary sewer in a different alignment. Missouri American estimated
the cost to relocate the 12-inch water main was to be a minimum of $150,000 to relocate the water main and would only
allow the work to be done between October 1, 2010 and April 1, 2011. The District estimated the cost to change the
18 of 10/13/11
alignment of the new 18-inch sanitary sewer to be $142,000 and would also keep the time frame of this work in the District’s
control.
In order to proceed with the construction, an additional appropriation of $80,000 is required. The remainder of the $142,000
will come from uncommitted contingency.

It has been determined that adequate funding currently exists under the previous appropriation via Ordinance No. 12836 for
the St. Louis Flood Protection System project, and that the FY2012 budgeted amount of $150,000 for the St. Louis Flood
Protection System project is not needed at this time. This $150,000 budgeted amount is requested to be reallocated to
become a supplemental appropriation to Ordinance No. 11441, to support another related effort with the Corps of Engineers,
the St. Louis Combined Sewer Overflows Project.
Under the St. Louis Combined Sewer Overflows effort with the U.S. Corps of Engineers, the Corps bids the project and
administers the construction as a normal federal project, with the District providing 25% of the cost of the project as a local
match. Projects under this effort with the Corps of Engineers must help to reduce or control combined sewer overflows. The
Federal Water Resources Development Act of 2007 authorized $35 Million in Federal funding for these projects.
Before construction, the Corps must determine eligibility of a project under the St. Louis Combined Sewer Overflows Federal
authorization, via a “Letter Report” process, whereby the Corps analyzes the project for compliance with the Federal
authorizing legislation, and obtains final Federal approval for construction of the project.
The District must share in the cost of the “Letter Report” development. The Corps has estimated that the District’s portion of
the cost of this work due this fall is $20,000. This work is a necessary step in the process to obtain Federal assistance for
the Harlem-Baden Relief Phase IV (Hebert) project. Reallocation of the $150,000 budgeted amount to a supplemental
appropriation to support this project, will fund the $20,000 due to advance the Hebert project, and provide for the needed
local match for additional efforts to undergo the “Letter Report” process, enabling more District work to be eligible for 75%
Federal assistance under the St. Louis Combined Sewer Overflows project with the Corps of Engineers.
