Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for Engineering Services with Freese and Nichols, Inc. for Erosion, Stabilization and Restoration Work Authorization.
Body
The City is recommending contracting with Freese and Nichols, Inc. to help evaluate and design stream stabilization and restoration of creeks and channels with erosion issues that are located throughout the City. 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 is experienced 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 some of these CIP projects. As project budgets are revised down, the money will be reallocated to future projects. This contract expires in two years on July 14, 2018.Recommended Action
Staff Recommends Approval.
