Background and Analysis:
The City has a Professional Services Agreement with HDR Engineering Inc. to provide Engineering Design services for the new Fones Road Booster Pump Station. The City is expanding the scope of work with HDR to include Construction Management Services at an estimated cost of $171,000. The agreement for design services covered expenses up to $300,000. The new scope will exceed that amount and requires Council approval.
This project is replacing a 45-year old booster pump station on Fones Road. The facility is an essential part of Olympia’s drinking water system. It helps move our drinking water from groundwater wells at the McAllister Wellfield into our large distribution system. Construction will begin in fall 2016 and complete in summer 2017.
Neighborhood/Community Interests:
None.
Options:
1. Move to approve and authorize the City Manager to sign Professional Services Agreement No. 1 with HDR Engineering Inc. to supplement Engineering Consulting Services for the Fones Road Booster Pump Station. Project proceeds as planned. The City delivers on its commitment to construct the project this year.
2. Reject Professional Services Agreement No. 1 with HDR Engineering Inc. This amendment allows the Engineering design team, HDR, to provide construction management services for the remainder of the project. It is essential that the Engineer that designs the project oversee construction to ensure a successful project. Rejecting this amendment will hinder construction moving forward and may jeopardize the loan from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program.
Financial Impact:
The total cost for the amendment is $171,100 making the total professional services agreement with HDR Engineering $442,304. There are sufficient funds in the project to cover this additional expense.
