PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
City Council will consider awarding a professional engineering services contract to Territorial Landworks, Inc. in the amount of $129,072.00 for design, bidding and construction administration services on W.O. 17-14, Grand Avenue Water and Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. The project consists of extending approximately 900 feet of sanitary sewer main and 850 feet of water main in Grand Avenue from Wilderness Drive to 60th Street West.
Territorial Landworks was selected based on City staff review of project proposals submitted by prequalified firms. Other firms considered for the work were Bartlett & West, Great West Engineering and Performance Engineering & Consulting.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Award the professional engineering services contract to Territorial Landworks, Inc. or;
- Disapprove award of the construction contract to Territorial Landworks, Inc. If the project is not completed, the water main in Grand Avenue serving Billings west end in this area will not be extended and looped to keep pace with development and to establish system reliability. Sanitary sewer construction enables this utility to keep pace with current development.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this project has been approved by City Council in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and the FY17 budget for the Public Works Department. Funding is sufficient for the engineering design and construction administration portion of the project which is now under consideration, as well as for the project construction. It is estimated that the level of effort on this $129,072.00 engineering contract will be evenly split between water and sanitary sewer; therefore, $64,536.00 has been allocated to each utility in the table below. The project will use water and sanitary sewer budget.
| Water Infill | Sanitary Sewer Infill | |
| Project Budget | $500,000 | $500,000 |
| Previously Encumbered | $0 | $0 |
| This Contract | $64,536 | $64,536 |
| Budget Remaining | $435,464 | $435,464 |
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council award a professional engineering services contract for the design and construction administration of W.O. 17-14, Grand Avenue Water and Sanitary Sewer Extension Project to Territorial Landworks, Inc. in the amount of $129,072.00.
