Title, Order
Authorizing Execution of a Three-Year Contract in the Amount of $294,360 to ADS LLC for the Sewer Flow
Monitoring Program
The City has contracted for field maintenance and data analysis for flow monitoring at CSO points
around the City with ADS, LLC since 2011. CSO points are points in Bangor’s sewer collection
system that discharge combined sewerage to the Kenduskeag and the Penobscot River during heavy
rainfall and/or snowmelt. The installation of these devices are required by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection
(MEDEP).
There are currently nine (9) monitors within the sewer collection system collecting data that can be
accurately modeled. These portable meters can be moved throughout the collection system and
provides valuable information that the Engineering staff will use to further rehabilitate the sewer
collection system. The continuity and consistency of the data is vital as the Engineering staff decides
location and extent of future rehabilitation activities.
The attached order would authorize a three year contract with ADS LLC to continue with the current
flow monitoring and data analysis.
