Resolution Number 25-4351
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF YOUNTVILLE APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICE AGREEMENT #2024-886 WITH WATERTALENT LLC. TO CONTINUE PROVIDING INTERIM CHIEF PLANT OPERATOR
SERVICES, AUTHORIZING THE TOWN MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AMENDMENT AND APPROVING A CORRESPONDING BUDGET ADJUSTMENT.
___________________________________________________________________________ Recitals
A. The Town owns and operates the Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WRF) under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit CA003812 issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Board Oder No. R2-2020-0026 which requires that the Town have an operator with a Grade III Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator’s certificate (or higher certification) be designated as the Town’s “Chief Plant Operator.” B. Amendment 1 to the WaterTalent contract extended the budget in support of the Town staffing succession plan. Now in addition to the succession plan, the Town’s NPDES permit is valid through the end of November 2025 and the Utility Staff is preparing for the NPDES permit renewal process.
C. Amendment 2 to the WaterTalent contract extended the budget to retain WaterTalent’s services providing access to our consulting Grade 3 Chief Plant Operator Steve Dominguez.
The additional funding allowed for the continuity of these essential services, which helped address immediate staffing needs while advancing the NPDES permit renewal process.
D. Amendment 3 of the WaterTalent contract will provide additional funding required to extend the consulting services of WaterTalent’s services to meet the evolving project demands and ensure continued services through the remainder of the fiscal year. This funding will ensure that the Town can maintain its operational compliance and meet the regulatory requirements outlined in the NPDES permit, which includes ongoing consultation with the Waterboard and preparation for the renewal application.
E. The value of Amendment 3 is $61,250 and is funded from the Wastewater Treatment Operations Budget line item 62-4515-4210. A budget adjustment of $61,250 is requested, which will increase the budget from $306,550 to $367,800.
Now, therefore, the Town Council of the Town of Yountville does resolve as follows:
1. Authorize an Amendment to Professional Services Agreement #2024-886 with WaterTalent LLC to increase the value of the contract to $173,250.
2. Approve budget adjustment of $61,250 to Wastewater Treatment Operations Budget line item 62-4525-4210.
3. Authorize the Town Manager to execute the amendment.
4. The Resolution is hereby adopted and becomes effective and in full force immediately upon adoption.
