Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify (Mod #2) the professional engineering services agreement with Stantec Consulting Services for the Blenheim / Glencoe Integrated Solutions Project, CIP 650870-100001. It is the objective of the City to mitigate overflows of Designed Sewer Relief (DSR) 335 to the 10-year Level of Service (LOS). The City will evaluate and determine if this LOS is best achieved with strictly inflow and infiltration (I & I) elimination with green infrastructure (GI) or in combination with some gray infrastructure.
To accomplish this objective, the original scope of work for this project included all the requisite investigation, evaluation, formulation, and design to produce fully independent construction documents for the remediation of inflow and infiltration, green infrastructure technologies and other related activities and/or documents necessary for project completion.
However, due to the investigative nature of these pilot projects, additional funds are required in order to complete the requisite preliminary design elements before completing construction plans and specifications. Thus the need for this modification.
It is anticipated that another contract modification will be required in 2016 in order to provide funds to complete the tasks associated with bidding procurement, engineering services during construction, and record planning.
