ANALYSIS The City contracted with BKF Engineers to document deficiencies of the Redwood Creek and its four tributaries in 2012. Upon review and evaluation of identified deficiencies from 2012 as well as recent creek walks with Public Works personnel, staff has identified three reaches of the creek for improvement in the next two years, shown on the attached Project Location Map: Jefferson Branch between Clinton Street and EI Camino Real (approximately 950 feet), Redwood Branch between Oak Street and Hudson Street (approximately 1500 feet), and Redwood Branch between St. Francis Street and Palm Avenue (approximately 2000 feet). The 2017 Redwood Creek Improvement Project will address deficiencies found in the first two reaches mentioned above. Staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) to qualified professional engineering design firms on September 23, 2016 with a due date of October 21, 2016. The City received two proposals from qualified consultants and invited both Wood Rodgers, Inc. and BKF Engineers for an oral interview on October 27, 2016. Upon a rigorous evaluation of the interview performance and proposals submitted, staff recommends Wood Rodgers, Inc. to provide the professional engineering design and construction support services for the 2017 Redwood Creek Improvement Project. Wood Rodgers Inc. will perform the negotiated scope of work in the amount of $235,674. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not to approve the proposed agreement with Wood Rodgers Inc. and direct staff to find alternate means of completing the work, or modify the scope of work, or select other consultants. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for the 2017 Redwood Creek Improvement Project are available in the Capital Outlay Fund — Storm Drain Collection System Construction account, which has an available balance of $ 1,936,064.56 as of September 30, 2016.
