PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Mayor and City Council are asked to consider authorizing and executing a Contract for Professional Services with HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide engineering design for W.O. 18-22 Leavens Reservoir Expansion and Zone 1 Improvements. The project consists of engineering services for the preliminary evaluation, design, bidding and construction phases. The purpose of the project is to add additional water storage for the Zone 1 Pressure Zone and to provide piping modifications within the High Service Pump Station to the distribution main in Belknap Ave to improve reliability leaving the Water Treatment Plant. The Zone 1 potable water pressure zone is a critical zone which serves all of downtown, hospitals, several schools, and the university. The size, location, type and style for the new Zone 1 Reservoir will be determined in the preliminary evaluation. The selected alternative from the preliminary evaluation will be designed and constructed. The engineering design contract will be implemented in the following phases: Phase I – Preliminary evaluation (includes geotechnical investigations and survey), Phase II – Design, bidding and construction engineering services for the facilities selected during the preliminary evaluation. An amendment will be required for Phase II. HDR Engineering, Inc. was selected for this work based on City staff review of project proposals submitted by pre-qualified firms. Other firms submitting proposals were KLJ, and Brown and Caldwell. The phase I negotiated price will not exceed $169,900.
