THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
Subject: Approval Of Professional Engineering Services Contract with Garver, LLC for the Elkins Outfall
Sewer Line
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a professional engineering services agreement with Garver Engineers for design
of the Elkins Outfall Sewer Line not to exceed $20,000, with a $2,000 contingency.
BACKGROUND
When the Wastewater Master Facilities Plan was developed and approved by the Arkansas Department of
Health (ADH) and Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) in 2001, several sewer transmission
lines identified within the plan were deferred for future construction. The ADEQ and ADH approved the plan
on the condition that these deferred projects remain included in the City's Capital Improvements Program, and
be constructed when needed either due to growth in southeast Fayetteville or in Elkins. Elkins has increased
their system capacity such that it now exceeds the capacity of the existing Fayetteville sewer line which receives
their flow. Thus, this gravity line now needs to be upsized. As part of the Plan, Garver Engineers was selected
through the professional selection process to perform engineering design on all of the sewer lines in the White
River basin, including preliminary design on this sewer line. The design is currently 80% complete.
DISCUSSION
Under this contract, Garver shall provide design and limited surveying services to assist the City in the
replacement of approximately 4,350 feet of existing 10 inch gravity sewer from the outfall of the Elkins sewer
force main to the Mally Wagon sewer lift station with an 18 inch gravity sewer. The pipe line being improved
carries flow from the end of the Elkins wastewater system and much of southeast Fayetteville.
BUDGET IMPACT
Funds are available in the project budget. Construction will be funded with a combination of a $485,000 EPA
STAG grant, a $150,000 cost share from Elkins, and wastewater impact fees.
