A. Issue
The City’s capital improvement budget includes various site improvement projects adjacent to the Public Works Facility. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued for consulting engineering and design services for these projects and approval to enter into an agreement is being requested at this time.
B. Background/Options
The City’s capital improvement budget includes various projects located adjacent to the City Garage. These projects include replacement of the truck scale that is past its useful life, replacement of the bulk materials storage building that is well past its useful life, installation of trash compactors at the drop-off center, and construction of an automated vehicle wash station. While these projects are shown individually in the City’s capital improvement program it was determined that the planning and design of the projects could be bundled in order to reduce design costs. Procurement of the various projects may be completed separately if it is determined that that would be the most cost efficient method.
A RFP was issued for engineering and design services and three proposals were received with fees ranging from $70,797 to $239,581. After reviewing the proposals and speaking with the lowest cost proposer I am recommending that the City enter into a contract with Kueny Architects in the amount of $70,797.
C. Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)
Priority 3: Infrastructure
D. Fiscal Impact
The total project budget for these projects is $1,525,000 and the total design services contract with Kueny Architects is $70,797. The remaining budgeted amount will be utilized for construction and construction management costs.
E. Recommendation
Authorize staff to enter into a consulting services agreement with Kueny Architects for engineering and design services in the amount of $70,797.
