OF SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM SURCHARGING DURING HEAVY RAINFALL EVENTS IN
THE VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE
Through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process, the Village requested background and
experience information, recommended project approach, and applicable information relating to an
evaluation of the Village of Buffalo Grove sanitary sewer system surcharging which occurs during
heavy rains and the development of solutions to address the related problems. Seven (7)
engineering firms submitted proposals to provide services. Below is an overview of each proposal.
After review, the staff team conducted interviews with Applied Technologies, Engineering
Resource Associates, Bonestroo Devery & Associates, and RJN Group, Inc. References were
checked; below is a partial list of references that were included in the proposals. Based on
proposal cost, project approach, firm experience, use of software, and overall proposal, staff
recommends the approval of an Agreement with Applied Technologies.
APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES
Cost:
Lump sum, $15,000 — will complete within 8 weeks
Project Approach:
• Review collected data from the Cook County portion of the sanitary sewer system. Problems
will be identified and solutions considered.
• The sanitary sewer system and lift stations in the study area will be computer - modeled. From
the modeling, ATI can project future problem surcharge areas by varying rainfall intensities,
sewage flows, lift station pumping rates and coefficients of friction for open channel flow.
• Evaluate the condition and capacity of the Village's lift stations and attached forcemains
serving the project area. The firm will be prepared to use smoke testing of sanitary sewers
should the evaluation of the existing data warrant it (not included in part of the work of this
proposal).
• Prepare a final report and presentation to staff and the Village Board.

SECTION 3 - Firm Experience
Recent Project Experience
In 1997, ATI successfully modeled the Village of Lake Villa sanitary sewer system and that of a future
subdivision known as Cedar Crossings Subdivision in Lake Villa, Illinois. That Subdivision has since
been completed in the Village. Joyce DeLong, P.E. was the project engineer on this successful study
and continues working for the Village on a multitude of projects. The software used on this modeling
project was Terramodel. .
One of the side results of that study was the upgrading of four lift stations in the building, which was
completed in August of 2001. This lift station project consisted of the installation of three new sets of
pumps, controls and wetwells; four new emergency generators and the installation of wireless telemetry
to 10 lift stations. Keith Corso, P.E. served as the project manager on that project.
Currently, ATI is performing a sewer system modeling project for the City of Watertown, Wisconsin
approximately 100 miles northwest of Buffalo Grove. Watertown, a city of approximately 20,000
people, is modeling the entire sanitary sewer system. In addition to the modeling project, ATI is
directing the construction of a new Wastewater Treatment Plant for the City. Bill Ericson, P.E., is
serving as the project manager.
Following record rainfall events that resulted in surcharged sanitary sewers and significant proporty
damage, the City of South Milwaukee hired Applied Technologies to perform an analysis of the sewer
system. Utilizing a computerized sewer system model, ATI identified several weaknesses in the .
system that resulted in the reconstruction of a pump station and force main, relaying of under- capacity
sanitary and storm sewers, manhole rehabilitation, and pump station upgrades. Bill Ericson, P.E.
served as the project manager.
In 2001, ATI successfully completed a sanitary sewer system smoke testing project for the City of
South Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The entire city sanitary sewer system was smoke tested to identify
illegal down spout and inflow connections. South Milwaukee is a city of 21,000 population
approximately 50 miles northeast of Buffalo Grove. ATI owns its own testing equipment for the
performance of this work. This project was lead by ATI principal Jim Smith, P.E.

Mokena, Illinois
Owner:
City of South Milwaukee
Issue:
The City of South Milwaukee sewer system consists of
66 miles of sewers serving a population of about
21,000, Record rainfall events led to sanitary sewer
surcharging and sewer backups in residential areas.
Solution:
Applied Technologies prepared a sanitary sewer capac-
ity study identifying existing deficiencies and evaluat-
ing upgrade alternatives. A hydraulic model of the
sewer system was developed ro evaluate sewer sur-
charging under storm flow conditions. Smoke testing
was used to further examine problem areas.
Description:
The study recommended a comprehensive approach to
upgrading the sanitary sewer system to minimize infil-
tration/inflow and sewer surcharging. Projects that re-
sulted from the sludge included the following:
♦ Pump station/force main replacement
a Sanitary sewer replacement
♦ Manhole rehabilitation
♦ Pump station capacity /power upgrades

SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
Wind Lake, Wisconsin
Owner: Town of Norway Sanitary District No. 1
Wind Lake. Wisconsin
Issue: The Town of Norway Sanitary District
consists of 31 miles of gravity sewers. 5
miles of force main, and 16 lift stations.
The District services the Town of
Norway and the Village of Muskego,
including three major lakes. The
existing sewer system is subject to
extensive infiltrationtinffow (III).
Solution: Applied Technologies prepared a
comprehensive III study to evaluate and
recommend improvements to the
sanitary sewer system. The study
included flow monitoring for several
months in four interceptor sewers
ranging in size from 12 to 24 inches. A
hydraulic model of the sewer system
was developed to analyze deficiencies in
the system and to evaluate sewer
system improvements.
Description: The study evaluated UI throughout four
major basins Only ore basin was found
to have major III due primarily to inflow
or rainfall - induced infiltration.
Recommendations included a
comprehensive smoke testing and
manhole inspection program in one
basin.

SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
Watertown, Wisconsin
Owner: City of Watertown
Issue: The existing 10 -inch vitrified, clay pipe
sewer was installed in the 1950's. The
pipe was cracked and crushed in several
areas and had severe sagging. Also,
high slug flows from an industry resulted
in surcharging the line.
Solution: Applied Technologies evaluated
alternatives of replacing the pipe or
installing a separate relief sewer. The
most cost - effective solution was to
replace the deteriorated existing pipe
with a new and larger pipe.
Description: Applied Technologies designed
approximately 3,600 feet of 15 -inch PVC
pipe to replace the existing sewer. The
project included boring under two
railroad tracks. The sewer kept in
service through the entire construction
period using bypass pumping. Applied
Technologies also provided on -site
inspection during construction of the
project.

Lake Villa, Illinois
owner: Village of Lake Villa
Lake Villa, Illinois
Issue: Population was projected to increase
from 3,000 to almost 8,000 In less than
10 years. The existing treatment plant
was at capacity with numerous failing
septic systems around Deep lake and
Cedar take.
Solution: Applied Technologies prepared a
sewerage system study to evaluate
wastewater collection and treatment
alternatives in the 10 square -mile area.
The alternatives included constructing a
new treatment plant, kind application,
and new interceptor sewers and pump
stations to convey wastewater to the Fox
Lake Regional WWTP. A cost -
effectiveness analysis was completed
along with an Implementation plan, user
charge knpacts, and funding
procurement.
Description: The recommended plan that was
constructed included abandoning the
Lake Villa WWTP and conveying
wastewater to the regional treatment
plant through two new major interceptor
sewers with approximately 21,000 feet of
IS-, IS-, and 21 -inch gravity sewer,
14,000 feet of force main, and 4 pump
stations. The project was 70% funded
by a grant with the remainder through
developer contributions.
