Agenda Item
Resolution - Engineering:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Professional Services Agreement, Contract 16226, with Freese and Nichols, Inc., for the Bailey County Transmission Line Upgrades.
Item Summary
The Bailey County Transmission Line was installed in the 1950s and continues to be in service today. In recent years, the valves and vaults along the transmission line have shown considerable wear, warranting replacement and updated systems. The City’s water supply strategy has also changed since the installation of the line. The City now utilizes water from Lake Alan Henry, in addition to Lake Meredith, and actively works to preserve groundwater resources for the future. This change in operation may warrant a new valving strategy to optimize flow through the Bailey County Line for the City’s current and future water supply strategy.
This contract will provide a condition assessment and preliminary design that will evaluate existing structural, electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical systems at the 4 flow control valve vaults, to optimize the transmission lines operational function and to meet code requirements. This contract also provides for final design construction plans and specifications, based on the findings on the condition assessment and preliminary design.
Staff conducted contract negotiations with Freese and Nichols, Inc., after establishing them as qualified to provide engineering services for the Bailey County Transmission Line Upgrades. Fair and reasonable hourly rates were agreed upon for a total contract amount of $429,396, with 455 calendar day contract duration. Staff recommends Freese and Nichols, Inc., of Lubbock, Texas, be awarded the contract that will provide the plans, specifications, and estimate for the Bailey County Transmission Line Upgrades.
Fiscal Impact
This contract is in the amount of $429,396 and is funded in Capital Improvements Project 92592, Large Valve Project.
