Loete, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement with Robert H. Anderson & Associates for the Bent Street Sewer Separation Project(Phase 2) 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 Robert H. Anderson & Associates (RHA) for engineering services for the Bent Street Sewer Separation Project(Phase 2). RECOMMENDATION rik It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Robert H. Anderson & Associates (RHA) in the lump sum amount of $13,000 for engineering services for the Bent Street Sewer Separation Project (Phase 2). BACKGROUND The second phase of the Bent St. Sewer Separation Project will complete the separation of the combined sewer that serves a ten city block area bounded by National Street, Liberty Street, Bluff City Blvd. and the Fox River. The first phase of the project was completed in the spring of 2004. This project was very straight forward so it was decided to do as much of the design as possible in-house to reduce costs. Our capacity for in-house design work is limited, however, prompting the two phases to keep the project size workable. This agreement will provide for the topographical survey and preparation of plan and profile sheets for the design of the subject project. This information will be used by Public Works staff to complete the design and develop specifications and bidding documents for the project. It is anticipated that the project will be bid in early spring of 2005, with construction in early summer of 2005. A project location map is attached as Exhibit A. Requests for quotes were solicited from five engineering firms on September 20, 2004. This work is a professional service, but since it is straight forward and very finite in nature, cost proposals were used rather than doing a qualification based selection process for professional services. Four firms responded on October 8, 2004 as follows: rp., Agreement with RHA for Bent St. Sewer Separation (Phase 2) November 12, 2004 Page 2 Robert H. Anderson($13,000) Civil Engineering Services ($16,880) Hampton, Lenzini &Renwick($18,000) Landmark Engineering($22,000) RHA's proposal was complete and the lowest cost and they are recommended for the work. A copy of the proposed agreement is attached as Exhibit B. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None Di/A FINANCIAL IMPACT The agreement with RHA will total $13,000. Funds are available in sewer portion of the 2004 General Obligation Bond Fund account number 384-4200-795.93-41, "Distribution Systems", project number 339059, "Bent St. Sewer Separation". The original budget for the entire project was $1,100,000, with a current balance of$766,177.16 for Phase 2. L GAL IMPACT one ALTERNATIVES 1. Approve the engineering services agreement with RHA. 2. Do not approve the agreement with RHA and direct staff to award to a different consultant. 3. Do not approve an agreement for this project. Respectfully submitted for Council consideration.
