Malm, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement Tyler Creek Interceptor Sewer Phase V PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider entering into an agreement with Baxter & Woodman for the preparation of plans, specifications and cost estimates for the construction of the Tyler Creek Interceptor Sewer (TCIS) Phase V. BACKGROUND In the 1997 Budget, the City Council authorized the construction of the Tyler Creek/Northwest Interceptor Sewer Phase V in order to increase the development potential for the northwest portion of the City' s planning area. A proposed annexation agreement with Industrial Developments International ( IDI ) , requires the completion of this interceptor by June 30, 1999, which will serve the south portion of their development. The proposed sewer line is located west of Randall Road, north of Tyler Creek, and will generally follow the alignment of the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way through City-owned land to a point of terminus west of the Soo Line Railroad Tracks . A location map is shown as Exhibit A. The scope of work within the subject agreement is for engineering and construction services . The fee quoted at this point, however, reflects only those costs associated with design services . The agreement will be amended to include construction services when a construction contract is presented to the City Council for an award. The project schedule anticipates engineering completion of design and plan preparation in late 1997 to allow for a January, 1998 construction bidding. The preliminary cost estimate for construction is $2, 100,000 . • Engineering Services Agreement/Tyler Creek March 4, 1997 Page 2 Proposals were received on February 7, 1997 from three firms : - Crawford, Murphy and Tilly (CMT) - Baxter & Woodman (B&W) - D. Carroll Engineering and Associates A staff selection committee evaluation of the three proposals was conducted, which resulted in B&W being the top-rated firm. A copy of the memorandum sent to the staff selection committee, as well as results of the selection process, are enclosed as Exhibit B. Upon selection, B&W met with staff to finalize the project scope and negotiate their fee. The final negotiated fee is $164,000 . The tabulation of costs shown in Exhibit B shows that B&W submitted the highest fee. A comparison of the associated scopes of work submitted by all three firms indicates that Baxter and Woodman anticipated a higher level of effort toward work within an established high quality wetland. With consideration toward the sensitive nature of the proposed construction activity adjacent to Tyler Creek, staff concurs with the level of effort anticipated by Baxter and Woodman. Adjacent neighborhood groups and the "Friends of Tyler Creek" expressed concerns over these areas during the IDI annexation process . Baxter and Woodman has previously designed and inspected the Northwest Interceptor Sewer-Phase I (NWIS) . The NWIS project followed a route which was also located adjacent to Tyler Creek. The project was successfully permitted for construction through wetlands with little impact to these sensitive environments . The project is substantially complete and under budget. A copy of the proposed agreement is shown as Exhibit C. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL IMPACT It is anticipated that the TCIS - Phase V project will total $2,260,000 . The project was included within the 1997 Sewer Fund budget, account number 397-4200-795 . 92-41, project number 339558, in the amount of $1, 130, 000 . Funding is provided by the Sewer portion of the 1997 General Obligation Bond sale scheduled for spring, 1997 . The remaining ogow $1 , 130,000 is proposed in the 1997-2001 financial plan in 1998 and scheduled to be funded by a 1998 General Obligation Bond sale. • Engineering Services Agreement/Tyler Creek March 4, 1997 Page 3 LEGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES None. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the subject agreement with Baxter & Woodman in the not-to-exceed amount of $164, 000 and authorize staff to execute the necessary documents .
