CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF. February 5, 1991 SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment with CMI for Sewer Plant Maintenance and Operations ALTERNATIVES: The City entered into the current maintenance contract in September, 1989, the contract was for a 5 year period with provisions for expansion, as mentioned earlier, and provides for the operations and maintenance of that facility throughout the term of the contract. Unless the contract provisions were not met, and Council were to redirect staff to provide other means to operate and maintain the facility no other alternative is available. FINANCIAL IMPACT: As part of the City's sewer master plan and rate analysis provided by Krieger and Stewart, and as required by the State for a master plan every five years in order to maintain current and actual needs for sewer capacity, rates were set to meet the operational and expansion needs. Current rates provide for expanded operations and facility expansion needs. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: As with any utility the ever increasing demand for service dictates the need for expanded infrastructure, maintenance and operations. The treatment plant does not differ from any other utility to the degree that as the community continues to grow, the public facilities must grow with them. In addition to growth, society sets new standards which requires new and innovative facilities to meet the new standards set, and as long as the eco system dictates the need for new environmental standards, facilities such as the treatment plant will continue to be impacted by growth demand and facility renvo RECCM ENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approve the amendment to the contract for expanded services for maintenance and operation of the treatment plant.
