Title

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering Services with Freese and Nichols, Inc. for Erosion, Stabilization and Restoration.

Body

​The City is recommending a contract with Freese and Nichols, Inc. to help evaluate and design stream stabilization and restoration of creeks and channels with erosion issues.  City staff would like to execute a Work Authorization Contract with Freese and Nichols, Inc. to handle these issues. This contract will be utilized to create a Work Authorization Contract for each project that is necessary. The amount of each Work Authorization will be subtracted from the $150,000 contract amount. 

Freese and Nichols, Inc. staff has worked with the City in the past and has experience working with creek restoration and stabilization. They will work alongside city staff to develop the most practicable solutions to ensure that each issue is corrected.  Staff is optimistic that creative solutions and value engineering will allow for the completion of future Capital Improvement Projects to address any issues identified in creeks and channels within the City.​

Cost: $150,000
