APPROVE CONSULTANT AGREEMENT FOR DESIGN OF PROJECTS NO. 21, 22 AND 23,
WATER NAIN REPLACEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
For the City Council meeting of February 17, 1987.
[t is recommended that City Council approve selection of ASL Consulting Engineers
for professional services for design of Water Main Replacement Projects No. 21, 22
and 23 at a fixed fee of $6,800 and authorize execution of a Consultant Agreement
subject to final approval of the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
There are nine water main replacement projects included in the approved 1986-87
Budget with an estimated cost of $378,300. Three of these project areas have
excessive leak history due to age and fatigue of the pipe materials. The existing
pipe also is undersized and will be enlarged to 6 inches to provide adequate
pressure and fire flow. The leak history in these areas are a constant cause of
expense to our field crews and a source of complaints from our customers.
It is proposed to push ahead with these three projects now and follow up with the
other six in a second program following the first by four to six weeks.
The three projects in the first program are on Alleman Place south of Vanderlip,
Oak Lane north of Dodge and on Arroyo Avenue north of La Loma. Proposals for
professional design services were solicited from three firms. The firms were
evaluated based on project team qualifications, experience in similar projects and
amount of fee. ASL Consul%ing Engineers surpassed the other firms in all three
categories.
The firms and their proposed fees are as follows:
ASL Consulting Engineers
BSI Consultants, Inc.
J.P. Kapp & Associates
$ 6,800
9,500
11,250
