Unreserved Undesignated Fund Balance by the Same Amount and Adopt Supplemental Appropriation
Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICT 8)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the Stormwater
Utility Fund and decreasing the unreserved undesignated fund balance by the same amount; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering agreement with Halff Associates, Inc. in the
amount of $156 595 00 for the Ludelle Channel Master Plan
DISCUSSION
In order to address stream flooding detailed open channel studies are required to determine runoff rates
and flow depth to verify and correct Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance
Rate Maps and to develop a Master Plan for each stream consisting of channel improvements detention
and other measures which can remove buildings from the floodplain and make roadway crossings safer
In November 2007 a request for qualifications was advertised for open channel studies. Twenty-three
statements of qualifications were received and Halff Associates, Inc. was selected to prepare the Ludelle
Channel Master Plan Storm Water Study SWS-029 in order to address roadway home and business
flooding along this creek.
The scope of work will include a detailed study of the stream to reflect current conditions developing a
Watershed Master Plan for future improvements to reduce flooding and identification of erosion repair and
other minor projects which may be needed Halff Associates Inc. proposes to perform this study for a
lump-sum fee of $156 595 00 City staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of
services proposed based on the size of the watershed and length of the stream The Stormwater Utility
Fund will be used to fund this study
Halff Associates Inc. is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 17 percent
M/WBE participation The City's goal for this project is 17 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8
