£/F-/ REPORT July 25, 2005 Subject Agreement for Professional Consultant Engineering and Design Services for the Belmont Slough Outfall Improvement Project Recommendation Approve and authorize execution of agreement with BKF Engineers of Redwood City, California, for providing consultant engineering and design services for the Belmont Slough Outfall Improvement Project, in an amount not to exceed $62,523. Background The Belmont Slough Outfall is located near the intersection of Marine Parkway and Oracle Parkway. This facility is the only outfall structure conveying water from the entire Redwood Shores interior lagoon west of Shell Parkway out to the Bay. :8ecause of this situation, it is a very critical structure to the lagoon system. The purpose of this project is to improve hydraulic grades that have 310wly gotten worse due to the silt build up of Belmont Slough. The original structure was built in the late 60's, and as the Slough has silted up, the discharge capacity of this structure has been reduced. The improved outfall system will include adding mechanical pumps to help force water out of the lagoon into the slough, regardless of silt built up in the Belmont Slough. The mechanical pumps can be computer controlled, rather than manually controlled, as is the case of the existing system. The mechanical pumps will allow Public Works personnel to better control the flow of water exchanging from the lagoons to the Bay. The key scope of the professional services includes: ~ Evaluation of the existing structure(s) ~ Designs to modify of the existing structure(s) ~ Integration of mechanical pumping systems ~ Prepare Construction Documents A complete copy of the agreement is available for review in the City Clerk's office.
