PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize a contract amendment for professional services with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. to provide engineering services for W.O. 12-31 East End Industrial Area Storm Drain. The purpose of this project is to alleviate surcharging and flooding of the storm drains in 4th and 6th Avenues North. The original contract included an engineering study to determine the alignment, verify the size, and ascertain the constructability for crossing the MRL railroad tracks for the new storm drain pipe. Contract amendment No. 1 included the design and construction administration for the new storm drain, as well as a study on the Yegen Drain to develop potential outfall alternatives that would address capacity issues. This contract amendment is for the design and construction administration for the Yegen Drain option that was determined to be the most cost effective by the study. It has been determined that the Yegen Drain portion of the project must be constructed first since it has insufficient capacity to handle upstream improvements.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Approve the Professional Services Contract Amendment No. 2 with Morrison-Maierle; or,
- Do not approve the Professional Services Contract Amendment No. 2 with Morrison-Maierle. If this contract amendment is not approved, the East End Storm Drain Project will not be constructed in the 2014 calendar year and the storm drain will continue to be problematic in storm events.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The design funding for this project was approved in the FY13 budget and rebudgeted for FY14. The funding source will be from storm drain funds. Contract Amendment No. 2 is in the amount of $389,107.00. The total contract, including this amendment, with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. is in the amount of $1,578,248. The funding source for the construction will be from Storm Drain Bonds.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor to sign Contract Amendment No. 2 for professional services with Morrison-Maierle, Inc. for W.O. 12-31 East End Industrial Area Storm Drain in the amount not to exceed $389,107.00.
