Staff recommends the City Council award Contract Amendment No. 1 to the City's Professional Engineering Services Agreement with Morrison-Maierle for W.O. 22-10, Alkali Creek Water and Sewer Extension, in the amount of $299,975.

W.O. 22-10, Alkali Creek Water and Sewer Extension will extend a 12-inch diameter water main and a 21-inch diameter sanitary sewer main along Alkali Creek Road from the intersection of Strawberry Avenue and Alkali Creek Road to the northwest approximately 3,900 feet. Morrison-Maierle's initial contract for $176,700 to perform the design and bidding portion of the contract was approved by Council in September 2021 and the scope of work was completed.  The construction contract was awarded at the March 28, 2022 Council meeting.  Contract Amendment No. 1 consists of performing the Construction Contract Administration and associated services for the project.  These professional services include construction survey, materials testing, construction observation, construction contract administration, and project closeout.  These services were scoped after the construction contract duration was known following the design and bidding of the project.


 

City Council may:

• Award W.O. 22-10, Alkali Creek Water and Sewer Extension, Professional Engineering Services Contract Amendment No. 1 with Morrison-Maierle in the amount of $299,975; or,
• Do not award Contract Amendment No. 1 with Morrison-Maierle.  If this contract is not awarded, the construction project would be completed without construction management and inspection which is not recommended.

The project was budgeted in FY22 using water and wastewater funds.  There is sufficient budget to award this contract amendment.
