1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a planned contract modification for professional engineering services with Burgess & Niple, Inc. for the Hoover Dam Improvements - Part 2, CIP #690411-100014, in an amount up to $898,500.00 for Division of Water Contract No. 2374.
Work completed to date is preliminary engineering which included a study to evaluate the condition of dam spillway and abutments and ancillary equipment. The study used comparative cost analysis to support recommendations and included conceptual design of required improvements or modifications, including potential alternatives to existing ancillary equipment. The study phase of the project was completed in May 2024.
This is a planned contract modification to add funding for detailed design. The primary objective of this contract modification is to develop a concise set of detailed design documents that will allow for the complete construction of facilities recommendations from the preliminary design phase. These recommendations will increase security, resiliency, flexibility, and ease of operation with reasonable maintenance requirements.
A future contract modification is anticipated. That contract modification is anticipated to add funds to provide Engineering Services during construction. This modification was identified in the City’s Request for Proposals (RFP).
The Community Planning Area for the Hoover Dam is “99” Citywide.
