6.1.D. - Page 1 <br />REPORT <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br />July 24, 2017 <br />SUBJECT <br />Design Professional Agreement with HydroScience Engineers, Inc. for the design of the <br />Sanitary Sewer Pump Station Improvements Project (Pump Stations 18 and 20) <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Design Professional <br />Agreement with HydroScience Engineers, Inc. in the amount of $195,000 for the design <br />of the Sanitary Sewer Pump Station Rehabilitation Project (Pump Stations 18 and 20) <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Redwood Shores area currently has a total of 26 sanitary sewer pump stations and <br />the Seaport Center/Pacific Shores Center Area has five sanitary sewer pump stations. <br />The City systematically replaces aging sanitary sewer infrastructure to ensure the <br />continued reliability of the system. Pump stations, which are a key part of the sanitary <br />sewer infrastructure, are selected for rehabilitation and improvements after the <br />Community Development Department and Public Works Services Department evaluate <br />the condition of the existing facilities. Over the past ten years, the City has made <br />improvements to sanitary sewer pump stations Marina, 1, 2, 3, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19 <br />and 25. These stations were older pump stations built in the 1980's per previous design <br />standards. <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 (P.S.) No. 18 and <br />P.S. No. 20, where the same aging conditions necessitate rehabilitation and <br />improvements. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) to qualified professional engineering design <br />firms. Proposals were received from seven firms: BKF, Carollo Engineers, Freyer & <br />Laureta, HydroScience Engineers, Infrastructure Engineering, Mark Thomas, and Water <br />Works Engineers. The proposals were evaluated by staff based on the criteria below: <br />• Demonstrated success and range of experience in past projects. <br />• Qualifications and experience of the designated Project Manager. <br />• Qualifications of other key personnel assigned to the project team (other than <br />
