PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The City Council is asked to consider awarding a professional engineering services contract to Sanderson Stewart in the amount of $62,865.00 for design, bidding and construction administration services on W.O. 14-15 Bench Boulevard North Sanitary Sewer Extensions Project. The project consists of an extension of sanitary sewer in Bench Boulevard from Mary Street north for approximately 375 lineal feet and from Caroline Street south in Bench Boulevard for approximately 450 lineal feet.
This project is being completed ahead of the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) project that will reconstruct the northern portion of Bench Boulevard from approximately Pemberton Lane to Main Street. The MDT project is expected to be ready for construction in late October or November of this year.
Sanderson Stewart was selected based on City staff review of proposal letters submitted by prequalified firms. Other firms considered for the work were DOWL HKM and Morrison-Maierle, Inc.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Award the professional engineering services contract to Sanderson Stewart; or
- Do not award the contract to Sanderson Stewart. If the sanitary sewer is not installed ahead of the MDT project, properties desiring sanitary sewer service in areas where service is currently not available will either be denied service, or a sewer main will have to be installed in Bench Boulevard after the street is reconstructed.
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 project which is now under consideration, as well as for the project construction planned for bidding to contractors in the fall of 2014.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council award a professional engineering services contract for the design and construction administration of W.O. 14-15, Bench Boulevard North Sanitary Sewer Extensions project to Sanderson Stewart in the amount not to exceed $62,865.00.
