SUMMARY:
This Resolution awards an Agreement for Professional Engineering Services to
NorthStar Engineering and Surveying, Inc., for professional survey, planning, design
and related services for the Predesign Survey Update and Redesign of Siena Drive to
Bandera Boulevard on State Hwy 78, Project No. 23a-002. NorthStar Engineering and
Surveying, Inc., was determined to be the most responsible bidder and will be awarded
a contract in the amount of $28,800.00.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Ordinance No. 9931, approved on May 17, 2021, the City Council established Project
No. CI2113 and budgeted and appropriated up to $36.7 million in funds which were
expected to be distributed to the City of Pueblo from the American Recovery Plan Act
("ARPA") for covered costs and eligible expenses to be incurred during the period
which began on March 03, 2021, until December 31, 2024 (to be expended by
December 31, 2026).
BACKGROUND:
The City received and approved construction drawings from a developer in 2004 that
included the design of a sanitary sewer line described above. Although the subdivision
and the design for all the required public improvements was approved at the time,
construction never began and the sanitary sewer line extension was never constructed.
Recently, the City agreed to construct the extension, but new land developments in the
area have been proposed that would generate higher flows than were envisioned at the
time the line was originally designed. Ultimately, the new sanitary sewer line in question
will need to be upsized from 15 inches to 21 inches in order to accommodate those
higher expected flows. The additional work required to complete the redesign includes
verification of our new design assumptions, updating pipe size, updating the profile
details for the pipe, and updating subsurface utility information and certifications in
accordance with current standards.
NorthStar Engineering and Survey, Inc. developed the original construction drawings
and has been selected as a sole source award to make the required updates to the
drawings. If we were to solicit competitive bids for this work, a different engineer would
be required to start from scratch, costing the City more in design fees and taking
additional time to complete the work. A sole source award to Northstar is proper in this
case due to the previous design work they performed on this specific project
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $28,800.00 will be paid from CI2113 – ARPA Funds.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable to this Resolution.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not Applicable to this Resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:
Denial of this Resolution will result in the City of Pueblo being unable to proceed with
the survey and redesign.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
