7, I-CI , C°UnC,,l ..... ManagerI March 25, 2002 Subject Consultant Agreement for Engineering Design Services for the Redwood Shores Sewer Pump Stations Nos. I & 3 Improvement Project - Engineering File No. 803-02 Recommendation Approve and authorize an agreement with Nolte Associates, Inc., of San Jose, California, for providing consulting Engineering Design Services for the Design of the Redwood Shores Sewer Pump Stations Nos. 1 & 3 Improvement Project, in an amount not to exceed $83,320. Background The Redwood Shores Area is relatively fiat and does not allow for the use of gravity flow ~n the sewage system. Therefore, as part of the Development ^greement a network of sewer pump stations were installed as the different areas of Redwood Shores were developed. Redwood Shores is now built out, and there is a total of 26 sewer pump stations (Centrum, 1-25), the newest of which is Station No. 24, located along Canvasback Way. The oldest of the pump stations are Pump Stations Nos. 1, 2, & 3. Pump Station No. 2 was rehabilitated in 1998-99, because it was in the worst condition among the three Stations. At that time, staff was aware that Stations Nos. 1 & 3 would be in need of rehabilitation soon. The stations were originally built in the early sixties. They originally served the Madne World amusement park and the areas between the freeway and Island Park, north of the lagoon. Subsequently, the Oracle campus was built (Centrum), and the Centrum Sewer Pump Station was built to pump into Pump Station No. 1. Stations Nos. 1 & 3 are approaching the end of their useful life, and are in need of rehabilitation. This rehabilitation will bring them up to par with our newer stations. Improvements will concentrate on the maintainability of the pumps, state of the art pump controls, and emergency notification. Standby power generators were installed a few years back, as part of a maintenance program in 1998. · The same personnel at Nolte Associates, Inc. assisted the City with the design of the Pump Station No. 2 rehabilitation. They are particularly knowledgeable in this very specific field, and have worked with the City's maintenance personnel. Therefore, Nolte Associates, Inc. are familiar with the specific setups the City's maintenance crew prefers. The design fees are competitive with industry standards. A complete copy of the agreement is available for review in the City Clerk's office. -1-
