The City Council will consider awarding a Professional Engineering Services Contract to Morrison-Maierle, Inc. (MMI) in the amount of $653,074.00 for design, bidding and construction administration services on Schedule 2 of the 2018 Sanitary Sewer and Water Replacement Projects. The City replaces and upgrades its sanitary sewer utilities as part of an annual maintenance program.  Schedule 2 projects will occur in two geographic areas. The first area consists of approximately 4,200 linear feet of 8-inch alley sanitary sewer main replacement in the area bounded by Grand Avenue to the south, Parkhill to the north, 17th Street West to the east, and the BBWA Canal to the west. The second area consists of approximately 5,150 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer main replacement in the area bounded by Lewis Avenue to the north, Yellowstone Avenue to the south, Division Street to the east, and 4th Street West to the west.

Morrison-Maierle, Inc. was selected based on City staff review of project proposals submitted by prequalified firms. Other firms considered for the work were DOWL, Sanderson Stewart, Pioneer Engineering, and Great West Engineering.

 

City Council may:

• Approve awarding the Professional Engineering Services Contract to Morrison-Maierle, Inc., or;
• Do not approve awarding the engineering contract to Morrison-Maierle, Inc. If the project is not constructed, the City's sanitary sewer collection systems in these areas will continue to experience ongoing maintenance problems and expenses.

Funding for this project has been approved by City Council in the FY18 budget. Schedule 2 projects will use sanitary sewer funds.
