This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Mequon, Wisconsin. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The City of Mequon Sewer Utility is seeking qualified consultants to complete a feasibility study to provide public sanitary sewer services to portions of Section 31, located in the southwest corner of the City. Portions of the section are contemplated for rezoning for industrial use (see attached map). Section 31 is currently outside of the Citys Sewer Service Area, although within SEWRPC and MMSD's Planning Areas. The Sewer Utility is assessing the capability to provide regional utilities with a mainline trunk sewer that can provide service to adjacent properties, rather than requiring each individual development to provide its own service. Please see the attached memo that was generated for the discussion with the City's Economic Development Board regarding public sanitary sewer service. The scope for the feasibility study will include, at a minimum, the following tasks: 1. Define the options of how to serve the area within the boundary of the attached maps with public sewer. o The intent of Task 1 is to provide the Sewer Utility District Commission with a technical memorandum validating whether the property can be legally and practically served by public sanitary sewer. o Include a narrative of both the general layout and the location of the MIS connection for each option. If general linework showing the path can be mapped, it should be included as well. o Task 1 is not design, but shall be verified as feasible. Both gravity systems and pressure systems can be considered, but the number of lift stations and linear footage and size of pipe should be summarized in a table for each option. o Similarly, utilizing both existing right-of-way and easement acquisition within the identified parcels should be considered. o If there are any portions of the property that are not serviceable by the Mequon Sewer Utility, the consultant shall explain any and all alternatives available. o Provide pros and cons for each option. 2. Define parcels outside of the proposed area that could be served by the options in Task 1. While the focus of the current discussion is on the potential industrial zoned lands, if additional parcels could be served by the same infrastructure, the Sewer Utility may allow for further expansion of the Sewer Service Area. The following tasks are all designated as "if authorized". It is anticipated that the results of Tasks 1 and 2 will be summarized and presented to the Sewer Utility District Commission. If the Commission determines that there is sufficient merit in serving the area with public sewer, the following tasks would be considered. Please note that the Commission may elect to complete one, some, all or none of the following tasks: 3. Master Trunk Plan - IF AUTHORIZED o The intent of Task 3 is to map the layout, size and critical depths for the master trunk system serving the identified parcels. The Sewer Utility typically operates on a build and contribute system, whereby the developer builds the infrastructure required to serve the development. If the infrastructure requires upsizing or additional depth in order to serve the rest of the parcels, the Sewer Utility would require those specifications at the time of construction. o Depending on the results of Task 1, the Master Trunk Plan could have multiple layouts to serve the area. o Identify tributary areas (sewersheds) for each section of the master trunk plan. For example, if a portion of the lands can be served by a gravity trunk line, but a portion requires a lift station ultimately discharging downstream, the master trunk plan shall identify the parcels tributary to each. Tributary areas may overlap if parcels can be served multiple ways. 4. Cost Estimate - IF AUTHORIZED Provide cost estimate(s) for the Master Trunk Plan(s) identified in Task 3. 5. Funding Mechanisms - IF AUTHORIZED As noted, the Sewer Utility historically operates on a build and contribute basis, where the Developer designs, constructs, finances and installs the required infrastructure and dedicates it to the Sewer Utility upon acceptance. For sanitary sewer construction, this incentivizes the downstream parcels over the upstream parcels and may not equitably distribute costs across all benefitting properties. Based upon the cost estimates generated in Task 4, provide the options and costs of any of a variety of funding mechanisms, including, but not limited to: special assessment, TIF, etc. If the consultant anticipates or recommends additional tasks in order to complete the feasibility study, the proposal shall include the outline of the task as well as the cost and timeline to complete. It is anticipated that the contract award, if necessary, will be approved by the Common Council on April 9th. The proposal shall indicate whether Tasks 1 and 2 can be completed by April 30th for inclusion in the packets for the May 14th meetings. Alternatively, Tasks 1 and 2 would require completion prior to May 24th for inclusion in the packets for the June 11th meetings. The proposal shall identify, based upon either the May 14th or June 11th meeting dates, the timeline for completion of Tasks 3-5, if authorized. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
