6.1 B Page 1 REP�RT To the Honorable Mayor City Counc�f Fro the �i 14�ana er February 25, 2008 SUSJECT Professional Services Agreement for Engineering Design Services for the Redwoad Shores Sewer Pump Station No. 12 Improvement Project RECOMMENDATION Approve, by motion, a Professional Services Agreemen# with Kennedy/Jenks_ Consul#ants of Palo Alto, Catifornia, #a provide engineering design senrices far the Redwood Shores Sewer Pump Station No. 12 Impravement Project in an amount not to exceed $81,136.00 BAGKGROUND Terrain in the Redwood Shores ar�a is relafiive(y flat and does not allow for a gravity flow sewage system. A network of pumping stations throughout Redwood Shores keeps materials moving through sewage pipes to the South Bayside System Authority treatment facility. Redwaod Shores currently has a total of 26 sewer pump stations. Mast, but not all, of these pump stations were construc#ed within the past 15 years and comply with current standards. Within the past ten years, the Ciiy has made improverr�ents ta inerease the efficiency and safety of pump stations 1, 2, 3, 10, and 15. Station No. 12 was constructed in the early 1980's and designed with a separate dry and wet well. Proposed improvements will increase both the efficiency and safety of Station No. 12. The current drylwet well confrguratian requires maintenance staff to descencf 2Q feet withir� a confined space tha# can contain hazardous gases to service fixed equipment. lmprovements include new submersible pumps that can be mechanicaNy raised for senricing which eliminates the need for maintenance staff to enter the dry wetl. New variabie speed drive cantrols will increase the efficiency of the pumps. New piping and rehabilitation of the wet well surface will extend the useful life of the station. A permanent eme�gency standby engine ge�erator wil! replace a portable engine generator to ensure continuous service of the pump station in the �vent of power failure. After receipt and review of proposals from a number of consultan#s, Kennedyl.lenks was deemed to be the best quafified firm. Kennedy/Jenks has extensive experience in this very specialized field. They are famiiiar with the City's requirements and standards. Their design fiees are competitive in comparison with industry standards. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not fo approve the proposed Agreement and direct staff to interview ather qualified firms which cou{d delay improvements to the pump station. Cauncil may require staff ta compfete the design work which could alsa delay the work. FtSCAL IMPACT Funding in #he amount of $583,400 is available in the approved Fiscal Year 2007/2008 Budget--Sewer Fund Ca�ital P�ojects, Pump Station No. '12 Renovatian Project.
