Dorgan, City Manager SUBJECT: Award of Engineering Services Agreement with Metcalf & Eddy for Bartlett Water Distribution System Interconnection PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider authorization of an engineering services agreement for design, bidding and construction phase services for an interconnection between City of Elgin and Village of Bartlett Water Distribution Systems. BACKGROUND Water Service to the industrial and commercial customers along Gifford Road is provided through a single 12-inch water main. Historically there have been several main breaks which put these customers not only out of service, but typically out of business until service is restored. To provide a second main and loop this system is not economically feasible at this time. A second alternative is to interconnect the water distribution systems of City of Elgin with the Village of Bartlett. This interconnection will be designed and constructed so that it could serve either community in times of water service problems. This interconnection will be along west Bartlett Road, east of Gifford Boulevard where the City of Elgin has a 12-inch water main on the north side of Bartlett Road and the Village of Bartlett has a 12-inch water main on the south side of Bartlett Road. Barnett Interconnection March 21, 2003 Page 2 The interconnection piping and appurtenances are to be contained in an underground vault on the north side of Bartlett Road in an easement from Elgin,Sweeper. The+ project, .includes two water meters in the vault with appropriate bypass piping, check valves, and pressure sensing control devices. The Water Department requested proposals for services from five engineering firms. Four firms returned formal proposals with price quotes separately submitted. These four proposals were individually evaluated by a Water Department selection team. The engineering firm of Metcalf & Eddy was selected the best qualified for this work. After ranking all firms, fees from all submittals were opened. A copy of the proposals evaluation form is attached. The fees for the firms are as follows: Metcalf & Eddy (M&E) $29,890 Stand Associates (SA) $35,135 Burns & McDonnell (B&M) $42,643 Alvord, Burdick & Howson (AB&H) $52,200 COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Village of Bartlett Elgin Sweeper Company \ FINANCIAL IMPACT The total costs of Metcalf & Eddy's engineering services are $29,890. There are sufficient funds budgeted ($140,000) in the water portion of the upcoming 2003 Bond sale, account number 383-4000-795.92-41, project number 409590 to enter into this ( contract. M„' v""GA coL IMPACT An agreement will need to be approved by the Legal Department. Bartlett Interconnection March 21, 2003 Page 3 ALTERNATIVES 1. Do not award the contract at this time. 2. Award the contract to a different firm. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an agreement for Engineering Services with Metcalf & Eddy of Chicago, Illinois, for design, bidding and construction phase engineering services for the interconnection between City of Elgin and Village of Bartlett Water Distribution Systems.
