SUMMARY
The City previously entered into a consulting services agreement with Bartle Wells
Associates to perform analysis of the City's existing wastewater rates. Approval of
Amendment No. 2 will allow staff to revise the sewer rate study completed earlier this
year.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 5572 with Bartle Wells Associates,
in the amount of $12,000 for a total revised contract amount of $50,000 for
wastewater rate study services; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On July 7, 2010, staff presented to Council the City of Palm Springs Wastewater
Financial Plan and Rate Study for consideration of adopting increased sewer service
charges to finance the 20-year City of Palm Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant
Capital Repair and Rehabilitation Plan. The City completed Proposition 218 noticing on
proposed increases to sewer service charges, and at the July 7, 2010, hearing,
determined that a majority protest was not received. However, at that time the Council
did not approve the proposed rate increases, and directed staff to return the item for
further discussion in 2011.
It is necessary to revise and update the sewer rate study with Bartle Wells Associates,
previously presented to and approved by Council on April 21, 2010. Staff is prepared to
