Operating Expenses
 January’s operating expenses were favorable to budget by $156K or 10% due to less expenditures than
budgeted from:
- No chemical purchase on polymer (based on purchase versus usage).
- Natural gas and fuel oil from less gas used in heating at Green Bay Facility than projected.
- Contracted services of environmental programs delay from receiving waters planning.
- Maintenance interceptors due to less expenditures than budgeted.
- Supplementary expenses due to less expenditures on small tools than budgeted.

Billing Program Design Project – Consultant Recommendation
Background
On March 26, 2014, the Commission approved staff to enter into a contractual agreement with Arcadis
U.S., Inc. (Arcadis) to conduct a Billing Methodology Development Project. The scope of the project was to
review the current billing methodology, research alternative wastewater treatment service billing
methodologies, engage NEW Water municipal stakeholders, compare options against the status quo, and
recommend a framework for a new billing methodology.
In October 2014, NEW Water staff, stakeholders, and Arcadis completed the Billing Methodology
Development Project, which recommended a new Mass Loading billing alternative. This alternative was
approved by NEW Water’s Commission on October 22, 2014 and communicated to all stakeholder
customers. The approved Mass Loading billing alternative will be designed in 2015 and implemented
within the 2016 budget.
Proposed Project
NEW Water staff developed a request for proposal (RFP) document to design a new customer billing
program for the Commission approved new Mass Loading billing alternative. The project contains three
core tasks: 1) Project Management and Quality Assurance, 2) Billing Program Design and 3) Billing
Program User Guide, Documentation, Training and Testing. The new customer Billing Program is to be
tested and accepted by NEW Water by December 15, 2015.
The RFP document was sent to five qualified consulting firms. Three proposals were received from:
WIPFLI CPAs and Consultants, Infinity Technology, and Arcadis. A qualification based selection tool was
used to score and rank each firm based on: project understanding, project approach, related project
experience (similar size projects), project team, and cost(s) and level of effort (value and cost of services).
The qualification based scoring results are attached.
NEW Water staff is recommending award of the Billing Program Design Project to Arcadis based upon the
following:

Project Experience – Most relevant experience: Bergen County, New Jersey – LIMS selection
and implementation, New Haven, Connecticut – development of a custom application to
calculate billing rates, NEW Water – Rate and Billing Methodology projects.


NEW Water Experience – Past experience with the Rate and Billing Methodology projects.
These projects ultimately translate to less NEW Water administrative staff burden and continue
to build off the consultant’s established relationships with staff, municipal customers, and the
Commission.
Project Team – A strong and familiar project manager with a technically balanced project team
comprised of computer programmers and wastewater engineers who understand the
wastewater business.
Project Approach – A ground up computer program design approach comprised of a more
robust and defined project development path and model. The approach offers innovative ideas
to enhance the final program. Appropriate level of effort for the project tasks and expected
deliverables.
Project Understanding – Possess greater confidence as evident in Arcadis’ thorough
understanding of the technical and functional project requirements. Arcadis has a clear vision
of NEW Water’s expectations.
Project risks –The project team and approach reduce the risk associated with a timely delivery
of the new Billing Program. The Billing Program is a significant NEW Water computer program
that is responsible for quantifying 95% of NEW Water’s revenue.

Following selection of Arcadis, staff of NEW Water and Arcadis negotiated a reduction of $4,530 through
agreed upon efficiencies and work planning without sacrificing work scope content or quality.
Recommendation
NEW Water staff recommends Commission approval to authorize the Executive Director to enter into a
contractual agreement with Arcadis for NEW Water’s Billing Program Design Project in the amount of
$150,000 and a 10% contingency of $15,000 to be administered under the authority of the Executive
Director.
Commission Action
Request Commission approval to enter into an agreement with Arcadis U.S., Inc. for a Billing Program
Design Project in the amount of $150,000 and a 10% contingency of $15,000 under the authority of the
Executive Director for a total authorized amount of $165,000.

2. GBF Center Mechanical Building replacement
3. GBF West Mechanical Building replacement
All of the roofs planned for replacement are currently experiencing leaks, which creates the potential for
water damage to critical electrical, sampling, and metering equipment inside the buildings. The mechanical
building roofs were installed in 1975 and were constructed for a 30-year service life. Staff is recommending
that the roofs be replaced before significant and more costly damage is done.
The replacement project will include the removal of the existing roofing systems down to the support
structures and installation of new built up roofing systems. Project proposals were prepared with the
assistance of Tremco, who has been supporting NEW Water with roof condition assessments and
recommendations for many years.

Computer Maintenance Management System (CMMS) Replacement and Implementation
Project
Background
NEW Water’s current MP2 CMMS was installed and implemented in 1999. Although this system has
served NEW Water well, support and technological improvements for the product have been non-existent
since 2003. The database is currently running on Windows SQL 2000, and the product will not operate on
any system newer than Windows XP. As identified in the Risk Based Asset Management (RBAM) study by
Arcadis in 2011, the MP2 system has been mainly utilized for plant equipment maintenance management,
with no integration capability with the conveyance system assets maintained in the ArcGIS database.
NEW Water staff formed a team to evaluate the current MP2 system and review the recommendation from
Arcadis in the RBAM study of 2011 to determine if a CMMS replacement project was necessary. The cross
functional team, which included purchasing, engineering, maintenance, treatment, information technology,
and accounting, determined that NEW Water should strongly consider evaluating the existing CMMS
program and determine if an upgrade of the existing system or a replacement of it would better align with
the needs of the organization.
NEW Water staff developed a Business Case detailing the need to strengthen the asset management
program at NEW Water and provide for long-term financial planning. A new CMMS would offer
technological capability to effectively manage NEW Water’s assets in the ways and means identified in the
Arcadis RBAM study. The current MP2 system has limited functionality to enable a comprehensive RBAM
solution. Newer technology offers tools to manage assets according to current accepted practices and
standards. Condition and criticality data would provide additional support during the budget process, and
assist in determining the best allocation of financial resources.
Current CMMS technology exists that enables incorporating the GIS capabilities of a linear asset inventory
system with the plant equipment maintenance system. A new CMMS system would provide the opportunity
to combine the functionality of maintenance management, risk-based asset management, and GIS into one
system.

Proposed Project
In July 2014 NEW Water engaged MWH Americas, Inc. as a professional consultant to evaluate and assist
in the review and selection of CMMS alternatives. As part of this effort, the team evaluated the following
alternatives: maintain status quo with MP2, upgrade MP2 to the latest version, upgrade to a new stand
alone application, or upgrade to a hosted application. After reviewing the benefits, costs, and risks for each
alternative, NEW Water staff recommended upgrading to a new stand alone CMMS system to replace
MP2.
MWH Americas, Inc. assisted NEW Water in establishing the business/functional and technical
requirements for a replacement CMMS application, defined the replacement application process, assisted
in the development of a Request for Proposal (RFP), and participated in the evaluation of software
application proposals.
RFP documents were sent to six qualified CMMS software application providers. Five proposals were
received from: Lucity, Inc.; Asnerlytics, LLC; EMA, Inc.; Nexgen Asset Management; and Starboard
Consulting. The proposal from EMA was eliminated from the final scoring as it was one of two providers
proposing the IBM Maximo product and EMA’s implementation fee was double that of the other provider. A
qualification based selection tool was used to score and rank each firm based on: software functionality and
product demonstration, project team staffing and experience, project approach and methodology, and the
cost of software and implementation. The qualification based scoring results are attached.
NEW Water staff is recommending award of the CMMS Replacement and Implementation Project to
Starboard Consulting, who will implement IBM Maximo V7.6 based upon the following:




Software Functionality – Maximo is recognized worldwide as one of the top CMMS software
packages. By purchasing Maximo, NEW Water will receive a robust CMMS application that
will allow NEW Water employees the ability to enter work requests and requisitions. Licensed
users will have the additional flexibility of a mobile application included with Maximo.
Software Demonstration – The software demonstration provided by Starboard showcased the
functionality of its product, the demonstrated ability for Maximo to be able to successfully
perform tasks using NEW Water’s organizational requirements, the flexibility of the Maximo
mobile application, and its ability to integrate with NEW Water’s ESRI GIS Program.
Project Team Staffing & Experience – A strong project manager with over 15 years of Maximo
implementation experience and teams of functional and technical implementation specialists to
ensure the success, maintainability, and sustainability of the project. The project team brings
experience in implementation of Maximo at wastewater treatment facilities, utilities and
municipalities across the country.
Project Approach & Methodology – The primary goal of this effort is to ensure that technology
systems and data are capable of supporting the most critical asset management needs and
decision making, including: asset condition and criticality analysis, cost tracking, performance
reporting, and capital planning efforts. The project team’s proposed solution will provide
support for the goals identified in NEW Water’s RBAM Program.

Final Close Out of Project 10-621, West Tower Drive Relocation
Background
On August 22, 2012, the Commission awarded the West Tower Drive Interceptor Relocation Project to PTS
Contractors, Inc. (PTS) in the amount of $6,678,202.50 with a 10% contingency of $667,820.50 for a total
amount of $7,346,023.00. This work was performed to move the existing West Tower Drive Interceptor and
a small portion of the Bayview Interceptor to accommodate the upgrades for State Highway 41.
The contingency was increased at the March 27, 2013 Commission meeting for $1,000,000 because of
difficulties encountered while jacking a 60-inch interceptor sewer pipe under Highway 41. In March 2014 it
was discovered that there were serious issues with the condition of the 48-inch interceptor. At the August
27, 2014 Commission meeting the contingency was increased an additional $1,000,000 to slip-line the
existing gravity sewer pipe and to address the bypass pumping costs.
PTS has completed the work in accordance with the contract documents and is ready for close out and final
payment. Project costs are summarized below:
Original Contract Amount:

Bypass Pumping Costs (14-034):
Total Project Amount:
$6,678,202.50
$1,873,814.58

This project received 90% reimbursement from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WDOT) for
original contract work. The work performed to slip-line the pipe cost $437,087.23 and is reflected in the
contract change order amount above. It has not been determined if NEW Water will receive 90% funding
from the WDOT for the additional costs to address the failing pipe. If funding is not approved by the WDOT,
this cost will be funded from the Interceptor Cost Recovery Reserve.

Resource Recovery and Electrical Energy Project – Nutrient Recovery Design Amendment
Background
At the January 2104 Commission meeting, the Commission approved Amendment No. 7 to the design
services agreement to include the nutrient recovery system for the Resource Recovery and Electrical
Energy (R2E2) Project in the amount of $1,366,308. The nutrient recovery process recovers nutrients from
the dewatering centrate and thickening filtrate to produce struvite, a solid that has a high value as a
fertilizer. During design obstacles were encountered, which could not be anticipated during development of
the design costs.
The following is a summary of major impacts on the design of the nutrient recovery system:





After an update to the R2E2 capital cost estimate, it was found that the original digestion system
capital cost estimate received from the manufacturer was in error by $8 million dollars. Staff
requested that the designer stop progress on the nutrient recovery system design until revisions to
the R2E2 Project to reduce costs were completed. This delay, in part, led to loss of efficiency in the
design effort.
Design costs were based on the approach that the designer would provide a building for their
equipment and the vendor would contract directly for installation. After review by NEW Water legal
counsel, there was a concern that this method of equipment procurement could be considered
design-build. The design approach was modified to a more traditional design-bid-construction
approach and resulted in significant additional process and platform design effort by the designer.
Due to the complex nature of the nutrient recovery systems and ongoing contractual relationship
between NEW Water and the preselected vendor, the preselection documents were sent to the
vendors for their review and comments. This resulted in several exchanges between the vendor,
designer, and legal counsel before final document language was agreed upon.
After receiving vendor preselection proposal documents, a vendor was considering a protest of
selection based on patent infringement. The designer’s senior technologist and additional legal
counsel were requested to assist in the review of the patent infringement.
Final design is being completed eight months after design is substantially completed for the
adjoining facilities. This required restarting of all disciplines which resulted in the loss of efficiency
of a continuous design.


Unanticipated design iterations for the waste activated sludge phosphorus release process
including primary sludge thickening, centrifuge thickening, and primary sludge pumping.

Staff and CH2M HILL have negotiated an additional amendment (Amendment No. 13 – attached) to the
design services agreement to address the scope and design cost changes detailed above. Staff has
determined that the additional costs are appropriate.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Commission approval of Amendment No. 13 for the R2E2 Project in the amount of
$314,236.

Request to Increase Contingency Amount for the Design Services for the Green Bay Facility
Disinfection System Upgrades Project (14-040-DS)
Background
On October 22, 2014, the Commission approved the agreement for design services for the Green Bay
Facility Disinfection System Upgrades Project to Strand Associates, Inc. (Strand) in the amount of
$165,044 with a contingency of $24,756 for a total authorized amount of $189,800. The original
contingency is 15% of the agreement cost. The 15% contingency was requested because the project
included several unknowns that would not be discovered until further inspection was completed.
Since the award, Strand has completed the code review and has made several design recommendations to
address safety related issues. These design recommendations include design changes to the emergency
eyewash and showers related to the disinfection system, and HVAC updates in the Dechlorination Building.
Strand has recommended providing tepid water to the emergency eyewash and safety showers (EEWS).
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has defined “tepid” as being between 60F and 100F.
Currently, the EEWS related to the disinfection system are unable to meet this requirement. The existing
EEWS use unheated potable water. It is recommended that employees that are exposed to harmful
chemicals stand under the safety shower for 15 minutes. Providing tepid water is important to encourage
users to complete the full 15 minute drench period.
Strand has also recommended HVAC updates in the Dechlorination Building. The driver for these
improvements is to provide year-round fire protection with the existing sprinkler system. The existing
system is shut down every winter because the HVAC in the building is not adequate to provide enough heat
to prevent the sprinkler system from freezing. According to the NFPA 1-2012, the sprinkler system must be
maintained at all times. By shutting down the sprinkler system, NEW Water is not meeting that code. NEW
Water has contacted the State of Wisconsin Fire Protection Plan Reviewer to see if it would be possible to
remove the sprinkler system, but International Building Code (IBC 2009) 903.2.5.1 requires an automatic
fire sprinkler system in all Hazardous occupancies. Because sodium bisulfite is stored in this area, it is
considered a Hazardous occupancy; therefore, the sprinkler system cannot be removed.
Both design change recommendations will result in a safer facility. Staff is recommending approval of the
design changes.
Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District
2231 North Quincy Street | Green Bay, WI 54302 | Phone (920) 432-4893
Return to Agenda
The cost of the additional design services to implement these recommendations is $28,400. This exceeds
the contingency that was originally requested for the project by $3,644. The contract amendment including
the additional scope of services and level of effort cost breakdown is attached.
Because the design has not been completed, an extra 5% contingency amount is requested to cover any
additional unexpected design changes. The 5% contingency amount of the original contract price is
$8,252.
Recommendation
New Water staff recommends Commission approval to increase the contingency amount for the Green Bay
Facility Disinfection System Upgrade Project design services from $24,756 to $36,652, an increase of
$11,896, to be administered under the authority of the Executive Director.
Commission Action
Recommend Commission approval to increase the contingency amount for the Green Bay Facility
Disinfection System Upgrade Project design services by $11,896 to be administered under the authority of

Work Accomplished During Reporting Period
Miscellaneous issues identified during final inspection of the Storage Building were addressed, and a request for partial
substantial completion was received from the contractor. Remaining doors and frames for the Switchgear Building were
received. Final splicing and cutovers were completed, and all primary service cables into the old building were removed. All
mercury containing devices were removed from the old building. Revisions to communication cables were completed, and
regulatory approval was secured for necessary fuel oil system modifications. Functional testing for diesel generator
integration was initiated on February 23, but the discovery of unanticipated conflicts will require additional modification and
testing prior to closing out the project.
Work Scheduled for Next Reporting Period
The new Storage Building will be turned over for owner use. Remaining doors and trim for the Switchgear Building will be
installed. Revisions to the fuel oil system supplying the diesel generators will be completed and inspected. Asbestos
containing materials will be removed from the old Switchgear Building the week of March 16, and building demolition work
will immediately follow. Generator and control system modifications will be completed, and final testing will be performed.
Employee training on the new switchgear components, instrumentation, and HVAC equipment will be conducted in mid to
late March. Final grading and restoration will take place as weather and site conditions permit.
Outstanding Issues
Resolve diesel generator functional testing issues.
Issues Resolved
None.

Work Accomplished During Reporting Period
Van Ert Electric has continued with preliminary work necessary before the installation of the MCC, including verification of
MCC loads and conduit installation. Work on the PLC is nearing completion. Work has continued with panelboard
installation and lighting panel installations. Work has continued with the re-feeds of the MCC-E1 loads. Existing MCC-E1
will be demolished as part of the project. The new MCC-B1 arrived on site on March 11, 2015 – almost two weeks earlier
than anticipated.
Work Scheduled for Next Reporting Period
Van Ert Electric intends to start MCC installation by Thursday, March 19, 2015. In conjunction with the MCC construction,
Van Ert Electric will continue with panelboard, lighting panel, and conduit installation.
Outstanding Issues
NA
Issues Resolved
Because the MCC arrived earlier than expected, Van Ert Electric expects to finish the MCC by April 7, 2015 and complete all
required functional testing on April 8, 2015. This schedule meets the requirement to finish the work by April 15, 2015 so that
NEW Water can prepare for the disinfection season.

Memorandum
TO:
Commissioners
FROM:
Tom Sigmund
DATE:
March 16, 2015
SUBJECT:
March Commission Meeting – Executive Director’s Report
a)
The April Commission meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 22, 2015, beginning at 8:30 a.m.
b)
Every year the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) levies an Environmental Fee to
point source dischargers based on discharge limits and actual discharge of pollutants. That fee is
commonly known as the NR101 Fee based on the Administrative Code chapter. The estimated
NR101 fee for NEW Water for 2014 is $193,015. NEW Water discharges well below permit limits for
BOD, TSS, and phosphorus. Comparing actual discharges and what is allowable under the WPDES
permit limits, NEW Water staff saved its customers about $545,000 in NR101 Fees in 2014 by
optimizing facility performance at the Green Bay and De Pere Facilities.
c)
NEW Water and the Cities of Green Bay and De Pere staff met with WDNR on March 6 to discuss a
concept proposed by the WDNR to create overall umbrella limits for suspended solids and
phosphorus that NEW Water and municipalities with stormwater discharge permits could use to
jointly manage overall discharges among all entities rather than each separately managing their own
limits. The parties decided that there was merit in the concept and agreed to develop questions and
have a subsequent meeting to discuss details of the concept.
d)
NEW Water was issued a construction air permit by the WDNR on March 4, which allows NEW
Water to begin construction of the R2E2 Project. EPA approval of a modified operating air permit is
expected by late April.
e)
NEW Water qualified for and submitted an application to NACWA for a 2014 Platinum level award for
the Green Bay Facility and a Gold level award for the De Pere Facility. NEW Water is also submitting
an application for the NACWA Excellence in Management award. If NEW Water is selected, the
awards would be presented at the 2015 NACWA Summer meeting in July.
f)
The construction phase contract for the R2E2 Project Contract 34 is expected to be brought to the
Commission for approval in June. Staff expects the amount of the contract to be about $110 million. I
will prepare a memo and schedule an agenda item at a subsequent Commission meeting to discuss
a procedure for approving change orders and amendments for this project. A five percent
contingency on the project would be $5.5 million. The Executive Director’s $100,000 approval
authority without Commission approval may need to be adjusted or a revised approval process may
be needed to allow the project to proceed between regularly scheduled Commission meetings.

g)
NEW Water received insurance renewal quotes from its broker Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. for all
insurance other than property damage insurance. Staff reviewed the coverage, limits, and proposed
rates for April 2015 – April 2016 coverage. Premium for the coming year is $157,411 compared to
$161, 532 for the previous year. There was a significant reduction in workers’ compensation
insurance due to a reduced experience modification factor. Staff will proceed with renewal of the
insurance coverage.
h)
U.S. Congressman Reid Ribble is hosting a Phosphorus Summit on April 1 from 7:30 – 11:30 a.m. at
the Neville Museum. An agenda for the summit is attached. Commissioners interested in attending
should let me know before April 1 so a name tag can be prepared for you by the Congressman’s
staff.
