This ordinance authorizes the District to enter into the second option year of Contract #22069 with ADS Environmental Services. The purpose of this contract is to provide District staff with flow and level information in separate sanitary,
combined, and storm sewer systems during dry and wet weather conditions at approximately 250 locations annually for durations ranging from three (3) months to twelve (12) months. This data is a diagnostic tool that will be used to meet
Consent Decree requirements, refine hydraulic models, determine project effectiveness, and support inflow/infiltration (I/I) investigations. The data from these meters will also be used to support the District’s ongoing programs such as the CMOM, Asset Management, Sewer Prioritization, Stormwater Control Programs, the SSO Control Plan, the CSO Control Plan, and the Infiltration & Inflow Reduction Program. This contract for flow metering and monitoring is $2,500,000. Approximately
15% of the metering locations will be installed specifically to provide data at regulatory and billing sites. The remaining 85% of the meter locations will indirectly support Consent Decree requirements by providing pre and post construction data,

The work to be done under Contract #10422 is to continue to collect stream gauging information in 25 watersheds. For
FY2024, the USGS will continue the operation and maintenance of the existing network of 40 stream gauging stations in 25 watersheds within the District’s area. Stream stage (water surface) and rainfall amounts will be collected with stream
discharges (flow rates) determined for each gauging station. Stream stage will be measured and recorded at 5-minute intervals and transmitted via satellite to the USGS and automatically downloaded into a database. Stage and discharge
values will be displayed in a real-time fashion on the USGS public web page. In addition, data reports or evaluations are provided by the USGS as an extension of staff, as requested for use by the District. The data will be used to provide reliable flood peak and stage estimates for use in hydrologic and hydraulic models or calculations at project locations within a drainage basin. The data and calculation methods are typically used for projects utilizing stream gauging information and
stream discharge estimates such as: Water quality data evaluation and modeling, post construction monitoring program for CSO LTCP Consent Decree compliance, Phase II Stormwater program, streambank stabilization; CSO LTCP evaluations
and planning; stream geomorphic assessments and stability; flood proofing and buyout evaluations; review and validation of private development projects (subdivisions, culvert, and bridge replacements); floodplain study evaluations; flooding complaint evaluations; Operations support; legal lawsuit defense and support; and Stormwater and Watershed Facilities planning.
