Councilman Scalzo asked for information regarding in-home inspections. Director of Engineering Redman stated the in-home inspections are conducted in homes that had experienced flooding to determine the extent of the flood damage. He stated most consultants do not wish to provide that service and City staff will conduct these inspections. City Manager Dzugan stated data obtained from the in-home inspections are one of the key requirements to receiving federal funding. Councilwoman Fitch questioned if the consultant would complete all items listed in the scope of services. Director of Engineering confirmed V3 would complete all those items and, to his knowledge, the only service they would not perform is the in-home inspections. Councilman Scalzo and Councilwoman Fitch agreed that the motion to approve the agreement was subject to V3 Companies of Illinois, Ltd. performing all services except in-home inspections. Mayor Gresk asked for a definition of the terms hydraulic and hydrologic. Director of Engineering Redman stated hydrologic refers to rainfall and hydraulic refers to the capacity of pipes to carry water.
