Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for a second reading of an Ordinance approving Modification No. 3 to the On-Call Agreement for Environmental Professional Engineering Services Yearly Contract (Original RFQ No. 2020-061)(Renewal 2020-061/R2) between the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, and Stearns, Conrad and Schmidt, Consulting Engineers, Inc. dba SCS Engineers, for an amount not to exceed $177,800.00, for annual tasks associated with the Resource Recovery Park for FY2023, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of an Ordinance approving Modification No. 3 to the On-Call Agreement for Environmental Professional Engineering Services Yearly Contract (Original RFQ No. 2020-061)(Renewal 2020-061/R2) between the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, and Stearns, Conrad and Schmidt, Consulting Engineers, Inc. dba SCS Engineers, for an amount not to exceed $177,800.00, for annual tasks associated with the Resource Recovery Park for FY2023, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.
Background:
The landfill post-closure operations are controlled by Missouri Department of Natural Resources regulations that require extensive sampling efforts, data analysis, and engineering reports. The purpose of this agreement is to obtain engineering services to perform the tasks needed to comply with the state regulatory requirements. Even though the City has closed the landfill, there are regulatory obligations that remain with the City as the owner of the property.
Tasks from year to year change, therefore the engineering services are updated as needed each year. The City and Engineer modified the Base Agreement pursuant to Modification No. 1 dated May 15, 2020 and Modification No. 2 dated May 18, 2021, for tasks associated with the Resource Recovery Park for FY2021 and FY2022 respectively. This Modification No. 3 will authorize the scope of services needed for the upcoming year.
With the landfill in post-closure, many of the tasks are related to engineering support regarding groundwater, leachate, gas, and stormwater sampling. Other support is for utilities, unforeseen repairs, and future planning.
Impact/Analysis:
Services are required to meet MDNR requirements for landfill post-closure.
Timeline:
Start: July 1, 2022
Finish: June 30, 2023
