CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of July 7, 1992 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: F.v6hr, , Interim Public Utilities Director SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment No. 3 for Wastewater DATE: July 1, 1992 Facilities Operations, Maintenance, and Management Services BACKGROUND Since October 4, 1989, the City has had an agreement with Operations Manage- ment International, Inc., (OMI) for operations, maintenance and management services for the City's wastewater treatment plant and collection system. The term of the agreement is 5 years. The agreement provides that base fees for OMI's services shall be negotiated between the City and OMI on an annual basis, and further provides that changes in scope of services and fees may be negotiated, as regulatory, operating, and other conditions dictate. Amendment 3 to the agreement provides for services and compensation during FY 92/93. DISCUSSION Since April, City staff and consultants have met with representatives of OMI on a number of occasions to discuss necessary changes to the agreement and fees for services during FY 92/93. Major changes to the agreement, which are covered by this Amendment No. 3, are as follows: 1. The base fee for services has been adjusted from $878,596 in FY 91/92 to $896,873 in FY 92/93, an increase of 2.08%. This adjustment is in accor- dance with a base fee adjustment formula contained in the agreement and is tied to the Consumer Price Index. 2. It reflects the addition of 1 full time employee to the project at a cost of $49,600 for FY 92/93. This will bring the overall staffing level to 9. Although this still falls short of EPA guidelines for staff- ing of municipal wastewater treatment plants, it will enable OMI to un- dertake a more comprehensive maintenance effort than in the past. In addition to a number of major equipment repair projects, OMI has com- mitted to painting plant buildings and tanks, and carrying out a landscape upgrade program. The amendment does not provide for any in- creases in OMI staff salaries at City expense. Page 1 of 2 Item No.�_
