The City Council will consider awarding a Professional Engineering Services Contract to KLJ, in the amount of $577,600 for design, bidding and construction administration services on Schedule 3 of the 2019 Water Main Replacement Projects. The City replaces and upgrades its water utilities as part of an annual maintenance program. The Schedule 3 project consists of approximately 12,700 linear feet of water main replacement in the vicinity of South Park.

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

City Council may:

• Approve awarding the Professional Engineering Services Contract to KLJ, or;
• Do not approve awarding the Professional Engineering Services Contract to KLJ. 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 from water revenues included in the FY 2019 budget is adequate to award this contract in the amount of $577,600.

Staff recommends that Council award a Professional Engineering Services Contract for the design and construction administration of W.O. 19-01, Schedule 3 South Side Triangle Water Main Replacement to KLJ,  in the amount not to exceed $577,600.
