6.1.A. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er January 28, 2013 SUBJECT Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers for the design of the Bair Island Storm Pump Station Project. RECOMMENDATION Approve the standard form agreement for design services with Carollo for the design of the Bair Island Storm Pump Station Project for $218,874.00. BACKGROUND The city systematically replaces aging storm infrastructure to ensure the continued reliability of the system. The existing Bair Island Storm Pump Station was constructed circa 1974 as part of the Bair Island Road Improvements Project. Coupled with the increased development pressure within this Inner Harbor area, the reliability of this pump station is becoming more and more important. The pump station consists of two (2) vertical shaft mixed-flow 40 horsepower pumps, a manual trash rack and 24" diameter discharge force main. The pump station receives flow from the storm collection system along Bair Island Road and pumps it into Redwood Creek. The pump station is also being relocated in advance of the future vehicular bridge extending from Blomquist Street to Bair Island Road. It is anticipated that the existing pump station is in conflict with the future bridge abutments thus requiring the need to relocate the pump station. ANALYSIS Staff issued request for proposals (RFP) to six qualified professional engineering design firms; Carollo Engineers, Inc., Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, West Yost Associates, Schaff & Wheeler, RMC Water and Environment, and HDR. The city received three proposals that were evaluated by staff based on the criteria below: •Understanding of project scope & schedule •Prior experience on similar projects •Project management abilities •Experience of project team members •Proposed level of effort
