SUMMARY:
This Resolution accepts an agreement between the City and Brown and Caldwell, Inc.
to provide professional services associated with providing engineering services as the
Engineer of Record.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department operates the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility
and the associated sanitary sewer collection system. Infrastructure deterioration and
changing environmental laws require periodic revision to the Master Plan, periodic
design and construction of new treatment processes, and periodic process engineering
services. This agreement establishes a long-term agreement between Brown and
Caldwell, Inc. to provide professional engineering services in these areas.
The proposal request resulted in two different engineering firms submitting proposals
for the Engineer of Record contract. Brown and Caldwell, Inc. was chosen.
Brown and Caldwell, Inc. is the current Engineer of Record and has performed
competent services.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for this project is available from the Sewer User Fund.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
No
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative No. 1 – No Action
In the event of no action being taken, the Wastewater Department would need to re-
advertise for an Engineer of Record since the professional services provided are out of
the scope of the Wastewater Department’s expertise.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
