Explanation
1. Background: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with ARCADIS US, Inc. (formerly Malcolm Pirnie, Inc.) for the Wastewater Treatment Facilities Upgrade - General Program, Project Number 650360-100001. The ARCADIS US, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $3,216,000.00. The contract total including this modification is $10,056,000.00.
The basic services to be provided under this Agreement are professional engineering services necessary for, and incident to: Overall Engineering Consultant (OEC) Services for the Wastewater Treatment Facilities Upgrade - General Program. OEC services 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 the following tasks:
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
This contact was initiated in 2010 to provide services for a six (6) year period, and is being funded incrementally. The approximate annual funding by contract modification was planned and was explained in the original contract's legislation. The proposed modification will provide funding for services estimated to be needed through April, 2013. It is not deemed either feasible or reasonable to suspend work with the entity currently under contract and undertake continuation of these services with another provider. The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by City personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis.
