Title

NE 19^th Terrace Biodetention Monitoring (B)

This item is a request for the City Commission to approve the monitoring proposal and to execute the contract for the monitoring phase of the NE 19^th Terrace project. The work is proposed for the amount of $85,837.

Explanation

This project proposes the monitoring of the Filterra biodetention system on NE 19^th Terrace between NE 8^th Avenue and NE 10^th Avenue by Dr. John Sansalone of the University of Florida Environmental Engineering Sciences Department.  Monitoring of this new and innovative technology is a permit requirement and will provide research into its effectiveness and potential for use on future projects in Gainesville. It is the desire of the Public Works staff to contract with Dr. Sansalone and his team of graduate assistants since they have provided their much needed expertise during the design of the project and their familiarity with the project will ensure that we satisfy the permit requirements and acquire the needed data to effectively analyze the effectiveness of the system.

Fiscal Note

Funding in the amount of $85,837 is allocated and identified from the Capital Improvements Projects Fund.  

Recommendation

The City Commission:  1) approve the specified source monitoring proposal from Dr. John Sansalone for the NE 19^th Terrace Monitoring Project; 2) issue a purchase order in an amount not to exceed $85,837.
