Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Bob Murray, Project Engineer
Rick Hixson, City Engineer
SUBJECT: 2008 Sewer Rehabilitation project
MEETING DATE: March 11th, 2013
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize City Manager to sign Amendment No 5 to the
Professional Services Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Attached is a copy of the partially executed Amendment No. 5 with Great
West Engineering, Inc. for Professional Engineering Services for the sewer main renovation
project.
The document is in the City’s standard format. Last fall, we put this project out to bid. Although we had several plan holders, none of them ended up submitted a bid. In talking to the plan
holders, the primary reason they gave for not submitting a bid was the time of year it was
advertised along with their workload at the time. Originally, we had just planned to rebid the
project early this year, but since the project timeline will cross over fiscal years, we decided to
add in the mains for next fiscal year. This will have the added benefit of more than doubling the project size, making it much more attractive to prospective bidders. This amendment is to cover
the added design, bidding, and construction services associated with the much larger scope of the
project. The proposed fee of $62,600 for design and $110,430 for bidding and construction
services appears to be commensurate with the project complexity and anticipated total project
cost.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS: If approved, this amendment will increase the fee by $173,030 from
$209,030 to $382,060.
Attachments: Amendment No. 5
