II. BACKGROUND:
The City executed an on-call contract for services with Blackwater Engineering on March 22, 2021 to provide engineering services related to the recently approved water bond projects. Blackwater was retained to provide engineering services for projects at the water filtration plant. This first task order is to evaluate and prepare conceptual design of the proposed water filtration plant revenue bond projects.
III. DISCUSSION:
Blackwater Engineering's scope for task order 1 is to prepare a Technical Report that evaluates the proposed water filtration plant improvements, provides budget level cost estimates, and recommends priorities and sequencing strategies for completing the work in a way that maximize spending bond money efficiently and quickly. A copy of the proposal and full scope of work is attached to the staff report.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
- Staff has no alternative as this step is necessary to fully understand the project parameters as well as allow staff to make educated and informed decisions when choosing a course of action for projects as the water filtration plant.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
Blackwater's services will be performed on a time and materials basis per their standard 2021 rate schedule in their master on-call contract, with a budget not to exceed $45,107. All costs associated with this task order will be paid through 2020 bond proceeds. | | |
