Wilson, Water Utility Engineer, x7295 SUBJECT:Engineering Consultant Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc. for the Water System Plan Update Project ISSUE: Should Council approve the Engineering Consultant Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc., in the amount of $239,170, to assist the Water Utility with the Water System Plan Update Project, as required by State Drinking Water Regulations? RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Engineering Consultant Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc., in the amount of $239,170, to assist the Water Utility with the Water System Plan Update Project, as required by State Drinking Water Regulations. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: State Drinking Water Regulations (WAC-246-290-100) require the City, as a public water system, to update its Water System Plan every six years. The Water System Plan was last updated in 2006 and the next update is due by March 2012 for review and approval by the Department of Health. The purpose of the plan is to demonstrate that the City’s operation and management of our water system and our financial capabilities are in compliance with local, state, and federal plans and regulations. The Water Utility advertised for professional services to perform the update of the Water System Plan in accordance with City Policy 250-02. After reviewing the proposals submitted by eight consulting firms, the selection committee invited three firms to interview and selected Carollo Engineers, Inc., as the firm most highly qualified to perform this project. The major tasks to be performed by the consultant under this contract include: 7c. ‐ Utility Systems Division recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $239,170 with Carollo Engineers, Inc. to assist with the Water Page 6 of 168 Mr. Don Persson, Council President Page 2 of 2 September 27, 2010 H:\File Sys\WTR - Drinking Water Utility\WTR-09 - Plans\WTR-09-0023 - 2012 Water System Plan\Contract\Issue Paper.doc\AGah ·Development of water demand projections over a 60-year period for each customer class from anticipated growth in population, households, employment, projected land use, and buildable density. ·Refinement and updating of the hydraulic model for the City’s water system and calibrating the model with field fire flow tests and from information from the water telemetry system. ·Water system analysis to determine deficiencies in the system and to recommend needed improvements. ·Integration of various chapters prepared by the City with work products by the consultant and producing the final Water System Plan. The total estimated project cost is $390,000 which includes $239,170 for the proposed consultant contract with Carollo Engineers, Inc., and an estimated cost of $150,830 for City staff time to develop the remaining chapters of the Water System Plan, review the entire plan, and obtain all required approvals or concurrences from the City, King County, surrounding cities and water districts, and other regulatory agencies. The Water Utility has budgeted $390,000 in the 2010-2016 Capital Improvement Program for this project with $200,000 budgeted in 2010, $140,000 proposed in the 2011 budget, and $50,000 proposed in the 2012 budget for the Water System Plan Update Project (acct #425.455140). CONCLUSION: State Drinking Water Regulations require the City to update its Water System Plan every six years in order to continue to provide water service to our current and future City residents, businesses, and industries. Council’s approval of the contract with Carollo Engineers, Inc. to assist the City in the development of the plan update is needed to start the project and to complete the plan for review and approval by the Department of Health before the due date of March 2012. cc:Lys Hornsby, Utility Systems Director JoAnn Wykpisz, PW Principal Financial and Admin Analyst File 7c. ‐ Utility Systems Division
