FC CASE <br /> <br />AWARD CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING AND INSPECTION SERVICES <br />FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF WELL #5 AND WATER TOWER #2 <br /> By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Earlier this summer, City Council authorized staff to request proposals for services <br />necessary for the construction of Well #5 and our second water tower. The eminent need <br />for additional water supply and storage are detailed in staff assessments in 1997 and <br />1998, and confirmed in the 1999 Water Study. The City has no alternative but to <br />construct these additions to the water utility. Even without any growth over the current <br />population served, the City could run out of water during the next droughty period - if <br />Well #5 is not available. The well could be functioning in early summer 2000. <br /> <br />As it relates to water storage, we are presently deficient in this aspect as well. The <br />attached staff memo summarizes the storage calculations. (The relevant parts of the <br />memo are bracketed for your convenience.) The tower would not be available until year <br />2001 - assuming we begin work on the plans and specifications in the fall of 1999. <br /> <br />On Wednesday, September 22, 1999, staff received proposals from the following: <br /> <br /> Bolton & Menk <br /> Haakanson Anderson & Associates <br />· John Oliver & Associates <br />· Progressive Engineering <br />· Toltz, King, Duvall and Anderson <br /> <br />Staff is in the process of reviewing the respective documents and will provide a <br />recommendation at the meeting. It is probably that a single firm will be recommended <br />for both separate projects especially since they will be concurrent over a significant <br />amount of time. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend City Council authorize staff to enter into an agreement with <br /> for engineering services for construction of Municipal Well #5 and Water <br />Tower #2. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br />City Engineer <br />Finance Officer <br />FC: 092899 <br /> <br />Copies also distributed to: <br />City Administrator <br />Director of Public Works <br /> <br />G:~usersklIhielingl~JOICOUNCIL&lBUDGETFll1999~September[Wel15Tower2.doc 09/24/99 <br /> <br /> <br />
