Action
Requested:
Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Contract Change Authorization #3 to the Agreement for Professional Services with Freese and Nichols, Inc. providing additional engineering services relating to the Alta Vista Pump Station project (Project No. 600-CIP-1201).
Background:
On March 5, 2013, City Council approved an Agreement for Professional Services with Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI) for the Alta Vista Pump Station for preliminary engineering, final design, bid and limited construction phase support services.
Contract change #1 was approved in 2014 for additional work related to conservation impacts for $11,250. In 2015, contract change #3 was approved for additional work related to specification creation for pump equipment and for backup generator sizing for $25,700.
This project was put on hold in September 2014 in favor of pursuing the Transmission Main first. In October 2016, the condition of the electrical equipment at the existing Alta Vista Pump Station was determined to be unreliable and could not be fully tested. The drivers behind this project are equipment condition and peak use demands. Efforts to mitigate peak use demands and costs are currently being studied as part of a separate agreement.
Contract Change Authorization #3 includes an expanded scope of work for Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) procurement and additional construction engineering services in the amount of $742,000.00.
Budget Impact:
$742,000.00
Financial
Considerations:
This recommended contract change will increase the overall contract amount from $581,950 to $1,323,950.
Funding is available through Utility Impact Fee funds and Obligation Bonds.
