A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE TASK ORDER NO. 32 WITH WEST
YOST ASSOCIATES FOR PREPARATION OF THE CITY'S REPORT
OF WASTE DISCHARGE
WHEREAS, the City's current wastewater discharge permit, issued by the State
Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, is scheduled to expire on
September 1, 2012; and
WHEREAS, under the current master agreement executed January 13, 1999,
West Yost Associates, of Davis, has been the City's primary wastewater engineering
firm for the White Slough facility and has consistently provided the City with excellent
service. However, since the City's relationship with West Yost Associates has spanned
over a decade, staff felt it prudent to evaluate other companies in order to determine the
best -suited firm for providing continued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit assistance through the City's next permit cycle; and
WHEREAS, five firms were interviewed, and based on interview results, two
firms were asked to provide a proposal for preparation of the City's Report of Waste
Discharge. On October 14, 201 1, proposals were submitted by West Yost Associates
($33,100) and Stantec ($29,000); and
WHEREAS, both firms are competitive in price and technical expertise; however,
staff recommends selecting West Yost Associates as that firm possesses significantly
more institutional knowledge of the City's current permit, treatment processes, and land
application requirements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute Task Order No. 32 with West Yost Associates, of
Davis, California, in the amount of $33,100, for the preparation of the City's Report of
Waste Discharge.
