The City Council will consider awarding a Professional Engineering Services Contract to DOWL in the amount of $676,070 for design, bidding and construction administration services on Schedule 1 of the 2018 Water Main Replacement Projects. The City replaces and upgrades its water utilities as part of an annual maintenance program. The Schedule 1 project consists of approximately 4,925 linear feet of water main replacement in North 27th Street from 6th Avenue North to Rimrock Road.  

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

 

City Council may:

• Approve awarding the Professional Engineering Services Contract to DOWL, or;
• Do not approve awarding the Professional Engineering Services Contract to DOWL. If the project is not constructed, the City's water distribution system in this area will continue to experience ongoing maintenance problems and expenses.

Funding for this project has been approved by City Council in the FY18 budget.  Schedule 1 projects will use water funds.
