Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering Services with K. Friese & Associates, Inc. for Drainage, Ponding and Erosion Work Authorization.
Body
In May of 2014, the Stormwater/Drainage Master Plan was completed. As a result of this plan, numerous Capital Improvement Projects were proposed, many of which were erosion problems due to upstream development. In addition to the projects identified in the Master Plan, additional erosion issues that are threatening channel banks, public utilities, and/or private property throughout the City are discovered on a regular basis. As many of these are small in scope, but urgent in status, City staff would like to execute a Work Authorization Contract with a consultant which should be the most efficient and effective way to handle these issues as they arise.
The City has previously contracted with K. Friese and Associates to design a solution for one of the most urgent projects, the Channel Erosion at Harvey Penick Drive project. Staff, citizens, and the Contractor were all satisfied by the work completed by K. Friese and Associates on this trial project.
City staff would like to now enter into this Work Authorization Contract with K. Friese and Associates for $100,000. This contract will be utilized to create a Work Authorization for each project that is necessary. The amount of each Work Authorization will be subtracted from the $100,000 contract amount.
Cost: $100,000
Source of Funds: 2014 Drainage Revenue Bonds
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval.
