PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Mayor and Council are asked to consider amending the City's professional engineering services contract with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. (MMI) in the amount of $536,544 to include engineering design and construction administration for the 5-Mile Creek Lift Station Replacement Project. The City has an existing contract with MMI for the preliminary design study which is now complete. This sanitary sewer lift station is located north of Mary Street and west of Bitterroot Drive near 5-Mile Creek. In its present state, the lift station is undersized for projected future service area demands and is nearing the end of its useful life due to significant corrosion and infiltration problems.
The scope of this amendment for design and construction administration services includes the following tasks:
• Survey
• Geotechnical Evaluation
• Permitting/Environmental Assessment
• SRF Requirements
• Design
• Bidding and Contracting Services
• Construction Administration
MMI was selected based on City staff review of project proposals submitted by prequalified firms. The other firm considered for the work was HDR Engineering.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for engineering this project was budgeted in FY12 and is sufficient for the design and construction administration. The source of funding is an SRF loan to the Wastewater Fund. Funding for project construction has been budgeted for FY13. The amendment is in the amount of $536,544 and brings the total contract amount to $563,314.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve a contract amendment to the engineering services contract for design and construction administration on the 5-Mile Creek Lift Station Replacement Project to Morrison-Maierle, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $536,544.
