6.1.A. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er July 22, 2013 SUBJECT Amendment No. 1 to Agreement for Professional Services with TJCAA, Inc. for the Sanitary Sewer Pump Station No. 10 Improvements Project. RECOMMENDATION Approve, by motion, Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Professional Services with TJCAA, Inc. of Oakland in the amount of $8,606.00 for additional construction administration services for the Sanitary Sewer Pump Station No. 10 Improvements P roj ect. BACKGROUND On April 23, 2012 the City Council approved an agreement with TJCAA, Inc. to provide professional design services in conjunction with the Sanitary Sewer Pump Station No. 10 Improvements Project. The agreement was in the amount of $69,100. The scope of work consists of improving the existing electrical system at the pump station to improve the reliability of the wastewater services provided in the Redwood Shores area. The project includes replacing existing motor control devices, field instrumentation, and facility controls. Sanitary Sewer Pump Station No. 10 (SSPS 10) is a crucial central pumping location that receives wastewater from sixteen other area pump stations. Flows from SSPS 10 are pumped to the South Bayside System Authority wastewater treatment plant. ANALYSIS On December 17, 2012, the City Council awarded the contract for the construction of SSPS 10 to Blocka Construction, Inc. The consultant, TJCAA, Inc., has been involved in reviewing the shops drawings and answering RFI for the project. Amendment No. 1 will allow TJCAA, Inc., to provide additional construction administration services during the construction phase of the project. The original proposed construction services were minimal, but as the project progressed it is apparent that additional construction support will secure a better final project. Therefore, staff recommends this amendment, which will allow the consultant to review an additional twelve (12) contractor submittals and resubmittals; prepare up to four change orders or change order cost estimates; and conduct two site visits.
