IR ,o the Honorable Mayor and .?.,ty Council EP 0 R T From the City Manager February 25, 2002 Subject Water Recycling Project Recommendation By motion, approve Task Order No. 2 to the professional consulting engineering services agreement with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants Background On June 11, 2001 the City Council approved the agreement with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants for the Water Recycling Feasibility Study for the Redwood Shores area, in the amount of $155,000. Kennedy/Jenks was recommended from a field of four firms following a competitive, two-phase selection process. On i January 28, 2002, the City Council approved Task Order No. 1 which authorized staff and Kennedy/Jenks to begin working directly with CalTrans, the San Mateo County Transportation Authority and their design consultants to conduct a pre-design study of the proposed Hwy. 101 bike path recycled water transmission line and develop a checklist of all technical requirements, permits, constraints and potential costs associated with the work. That work is proceeding and if there are no major, insurmountable problems, staff will return to Council for additional task order authority - if required - to complete design specifications and bid documents. The not-to-exceed amount of Task Order No. 1 is $20,000.00. On February 4, 2002 the City Council accepted the Water Recycling Feasibility Study final report for the Redwood Shores area, produced by Kennedy/Jenks Consultants under the original agreement. The Council also approved the list of next steps for implementation of the Redwood Shores Water Recycling Project, including a cost effectiveness study, project financing plan and review of water rates and connection fees. In preparing the scope of work for Task Order No. 2, staff has asked Kennedy/Jenks to retain the services of Bartle Wells Associates to perform much of the financial analysis work. Also, staff has added a refined "market assessment" of the greater "Bayfront Area" (east of Hwy. 101 and south of Whipple Ave.) and a more developed concept plan for pipeline alignments in the Bayfront Area and core area of Redwood City. The work products from this task will provide timely information for use by the City to respond to development projects as well as produce all required project information for CH2M HILL to perform the environmental documentation for the proposed project (see companion staff report for new, separate agreement with CH2M HILL). A contingency allowance of 80 hours is included as well, to provide some flexibility as the work moves ahead and as the City Council Utilities Committee begins their input and review of work products. Use of the contingency will require direction to the consultant from the City. 1 of 2
