Proposed Motion: |
Move City Council award Professional Services Agreement No. WA2008.271, with Wilson Engineers, LLC, for the Loop 101 and 202 Freeway Waterline Rehabilitation Post-Design Services, in an amount not to exceed $133,960. |
Background/Discussion: |
In February 2018, the City experienced a large water main break northeast of the intersection of Price Road and the Loop 202 Santan Freeway Interchange. Staff responded quickly by shutting down the 36-inch diameter water transmission main. In the following months, the City hired a consultant and contractor to evaluate the cause and condition of damaged pipeline and perform necessary repairs. A condition assessment of the pipeline revealed that it was in poor condition and recommended that rehabilitation or replacement of the pipe should be considered. On August 27, 2020, City Council awarded Professional Services Agreement No. WA2008.201, to Wilson Engineers, LLC, for the Loop 101 and Loop 202 Freeway Waterline and Sewer Rehabilitation Design Services. This Post-Design Services Agreement No. WA2008.271, is a continuation of the work in support of the construction and assistance in obtaining final permits from Maricopa County. The project scope of work consists of pre-construction assistance, engineering design services during construction to address issues and/or specialized technical products regarding the designer of record, and preparation of the as-built record drawings. The contract completion time is 270 calendar days following Notice to Proceed. A related Construction Manager at Risk Contract with Achen-Gardner Construction, LLC, and a related Professional Services Agreement with Wilson Engineers, LLC, for project construction and construction management services, respectively, are also scheduled for this City Council meeting. |
Evaluation: |
The selection process was conducted in accordance with City policy and procedure and State law. Staff recommends approval of this agreement with Wilson Engineers, LLC, based on qualifications, relevant firm experience, team experience, project understanding, and project approach. |
Financial Implications: |
Through discussions with the Arizona State Legislature, with support from the Governor’s Office and various state agencies, the City was able to secure an $8,000,000 grant funding commitment from the State as part of the recently passed State budget to support this work. Staff remain in contact with State officials to develop an Intergovernmental Agreement to reimburse the City for this project. This agreement will be presented to council for consideration at a future council meeting. |
