PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The City Council is asked to award a professional engineering services contract to Sanderson Stewart in the amount of $405,062.92 for design, bidding and construction administration services on W.O. 14-13, Mullowney & Elysian Area Water and Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. The project will extend water and sanitary sewer mains in order to serve existing and future development.
Alignment of the water and sewer mains will be evaluated during preliminary design with the needs of existing potential customers and developers, local geotechnical conditions, and long-term planning of the entire service area taken into consideration. It is anticipated that a water main would be extended approximately 1 mile west in Elysian Road from Mullowney Lane to East Lane. A sanitary sewer main would be extended approximately 1-1/2 miles along a route west from Front Street in Josephine Crossing Subdivision to Mullowney Ln., south in Mullowney Ln. to Story Road, and west in Story Rd. past the Hogan Slough to East Lane. A 1/2-mile sewer lateral would also be extended north in East Ln. to Elysian Rd.
Sanderson Stewart was selected based on City staff review of project proposals submitted by prequalified firms. Other firms considered for the work were DOWL HKM and Morrison-Maierle, Inc.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Award the engineering contract to Sanderson Stewart; or
- Do not award the engineering contract to Sanderson Stewart. If the project is not constructed, development will proceed in the area around Elysian Road west of Mullowney Lane without City water and sanitary sewer service in place, or development dependent on these City services will not proceed at all.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this project has been approved by City Council in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Funding is sufficient for the engineering design and construction administration portion of the projects which is now under consideration, as well as for the project construction. The first construction phase is expected to take place in the late fall or early winter of 2014. The water main extension will use water funds and the sanitary sewer extension will use wastewater funds. It is expected that the City will be reimbursed for the 1/2-mile wastewater lateral extension in East Lane.
