6.1.D. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er February 25, 2013 SUBJECT Amendment Number 2 to Agreement for Professional Services with Moffatt & Nichol for feasibility analysis services RECOMMENDATION Approve, by motion, and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment Number 2 with Moffatt & Nichol in the amount of $56,304.00 for further analysis for the Bayfront Canal and Atherton Channel Improvement and Habitat Restoration Project (Bayfront Project) and authorize the City Manager to increase the contract amount up to 10%, if necessary. BACKGROUND On February 27, 2012 the City executed an agreement with Moffatt & Nichol to develop a hydraulic model and perform a feasibility study to analyze the potential for routing storm flows from the Bayfront Canal and Atherton Channel into the managed ponds that are part of the South Bay Salt Ponds Restoration Project. This Salt Ponds Project is managed by the California State Coastal Conservancy (Conservancy) and the ponds are owned by Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). On July 6, 2012 the City executed Amendment Number 1 with Moffatt & Nichol to update the flow data and revise the hydraulic model to avoid conflicts with Caltrans' double 48" storm drain pipes in the same vicinity. The original agreement amount was $30,882, and the Amendment Number 1 amount was $17,800. Including this proposed Amendment Number 2 amount ($56,304), the proposed aggregate contract is for $104,986. ANALYSIS The need for additional service is due to the selection of the Bayfront Project as part of the Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) Round 2 Implementation Grant application to the Department of Water Resources (DWR), and the need to address inquiries from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) regarding stormwater quality. On December 21, 2012 the City was notified that the Bayfront Project has been selected to be part of the Bay Area IRWMP's DWR Proposition 84 Round 2 grant application. The grant request amount is for $1,135,000. Moffat and Nichol's scope
