Summary
Rathdrum authorized a large professional services agreement with JUB Engineers to complete a comprehensive update to the city's water capital improvement master plan, including field flow testing, GIS compilation, and assessment of storage and mains.
Rathdrum City Council authorized the mayor to execute a professional services agreement with JUB Engineers to update the city's Water Capital Improvement Master Plan.
Staff said the city had not completed a comprehensive update since 2008 and that the consultant selection followed a qualifications‑based process. The scope includes flow testing by opening hydrants to measure flow, comparing field data to SCADA records, compiling the city's existing AutoCAD drawings and shapefiles into a coherent GIS layer, and developing recommendations for pipe sizes, production wells, and water storage locations.
Staff emphasized the effort will produce a GIS layer and online mapping that can be used by staff and made available to the public. The council approved the contract after a motion and second.
