1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional services contract modification to add funding for the current year with Black & Veatch Corporation for the Wastewater Treatment Facilities (WWTF)-General Program #5 project, CIP #650360-100003, in an amount up to $1,200,000.00.
This ordinance is to replace ORD 0470-2024 which was written with an anticipated OWDA loan. The loan application was rejected as the type of work was task oriented and not specific to construction projects.
Overall Engineering Consultant Services (OEC) are necessary to provide technical and engineering assistance to the City and its design professionals in planning and coordination of the work. The OEC services are separated into several tasks, as follows:
Task 1 - Planning Services
Task 2 - Design Services
Task 3 - Construction Related Services
Task 4 - Commissioning and Start-up Services
Task 5 - General and Additional Services
Task 6 - Project Management
The City will request a task order from the consultant as necessary work is identified. The task order submitted will include a detailed scope of work, direct and indirect costs, task schedule, estimated hours, personnel categories required with labor rates, and reimbursable expenses. After negotiation and upon acceptance by the city, the consultant shall commence work. The Engineer shall provide such professional engineering services as may be necessary to accomplish the work required to be performed and shall at the firm’s cost, furnish all necessary competent personnel, equipment, and materials to perform the work.
The Community Planning Area is “99 - Citywide”
