Consider approval of a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Engineering Services Agreement with HDR/Claunch & Miller for Phase 12 of the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program.

40 percent of this project is the typical, annual sewer rehabilitation work. Utility Department staff have identified locations throughout the City where old, deteriorated lines should be lined and rehabilitated.

The remainig portion of this project is preparing the sewer rehabilitation construction drawings for the two County Road Bond projects (9th Ave. and 6th Street). HDR will prepare the necessary engineering documents for the sewer line work and then coordinate with the County's Engineering firm selected to do the road projects. The sewer rehabilitation and roadway work will then be bid as a single project.

There is sufficient funding within the utility budget to perform this engineering work and the construction. We will initially attempt to have the 9th Ave. and 6th Street sewer rehab work paid for from the County Bond Funds, then more of the utility funding can be directed at the annual sewer rehabilitation program.
