7.1.A. - Page 1 <br /> REPORT <br /> To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From the City Manager <br /> November 17, 2014 <br /> SUBJECT <br /> Agreement for Professional Survey Services with MacLeod and Associates, Inc. related <br /> to Water Main Replacement Capital Improvement Program and Redwood City Recycled <br /> Water Project Phase 2A <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement for <br /> Professional Services with MacLeod Associates, Inc. of San Carlos, CA, in an amount <br /> not to exceed $142,550.00 for topographic surveying services for the Proposed Potable <br /> Water Main Replacement Capital Improvement Projects Program and Recycled Water <br /> Line Project Phase 2A. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> The City of Redwood City annually replaces existing water mains as part of its Potable <br /> Water Main Replacement Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
