REPORT <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />January 25, 2016 <br /> <br />SUBJECT <br />Professional Services Design Agreement with Wilsey Ham for the design of the Sanitary <br />Sewer Pump Station Improvements Project (P.S. No. 13 and P.S. No. 16) <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Professional Design <br />Services Agreement with Wilsey Ham in the amount of $122,656.00 for the design of <br />the Sanitary Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project (P.S. No. 13 and P.S. No. 16) <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City owns and operates 31 sanitary sewer pump stations in the Redwood Shores <br />and Seaport/Pacific Shores areas. The City systematically replaces aging sanitary <br />sewer infrastructure to ensure the continued reliability of the system. Pump stations, <br />which are a key part of the sanitary sewer infrastructure, are selected for rehabilitation <br />and improvements after the Community Development Department and Public Works <br />Services Department evaluate the condition of the existing facilities. Over the past ten <br />years, the City has made improvements to sanitary sewer pump stations 1, 2, 3, 10, 12, <br />14, 15 and 25. These stations were older pump stations built in the 1980’s per previous <br />design standards. <br /> <br />The above improvements increased pumping efficiency, functionality (in both during <br />normal operation and emergency conditions), ease of operation, safety and <br />maintainability of the facility. This report focuses on Pump Station No. 13 and Pump <br />Station No. 16, where the same aging conditions necessitate rehabilitation and <br />improvements. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br />Staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) to qualified professional engineering design <br />firms. Proposals were received from the following five firms: Wilsey Ham, Hydroscience <br />Engineers, West Yost Associates, BKF and Infrastructure Engineering. The proposals <br />were evaluated by staff based on the criteria below: <br /> <br />· Demonstrated success and range of experience in past projects. <br />· Qualifications and experience of the designated Project <br />Manager. <br />· Qualifications of other key personnel assigned to the <br />6.1.C. - Page 1
