TITLE
Consider a memorandum/resolution authorizing the award of a professional services agreement with Kasberg, Patrick & Associates, LP to design the Onion Road Area Water Line Project.
SUMMARY
AGENDA ITEM
Award a Professional Services Agreement to Kasberg, Patrick & Associates, LP to Design the Onion Road Area Water Line Project
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT
Public Works - Water & Sewer Division
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The 2012 Water and Wastewater Master Plan includes the replacement of a 4-inch water line with an 8-inch water line along Onion Road between Stagecoach Road and Rio Grande Court (Project 4W). Concurrent to this project, City staff determined the need to upsize the adjoining small diameter water lines along Love Road, Grove Drive, and Loop Road. This up-sizing of the water lines is necessary to support future growth and development in the southeastern part of the City. This area was identified in the 2012 Master Plan as having low pressures during peak hour demands and low fire flow availability.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION
Kasberg, Patrick & Associates (KPA) is on the City's prequalified list for engineering services and has extensive experience with the design of water lines. Their proposal includes a final design, bidding documents, and construction administration services necessary for the construction of this project. After negotiating what City staff believes to be a fair and reasonable price for KPA's engineering service, City staff recommends approval of the proposal to design the Onion Road Area Water Line Project for a total amount of $119,905.00.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this project is available in the amount of $119,905.00 through Account Number 386-3495-800.54-84 of the 2012 Water & Sewer Bond.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with KPA for a professional services agreement for the design and contract administration of the Onion Road Area Water Line Project in the amount of $119,905.00, and that the City Manager be expressly authorized to execute any and all change orders within the amounts set by state and local law.
