(2) In soils, foundation, groundwater, and other subsurface investigations,
the actual characteristics may vary significantly between successive
test points and sample intervals and at locations other than where

could affect the total PROJECT cost and/or execution. These
conditions and cost/execution effects are not the responsibility of the
ENGINEER.

project other than the PROJECT described herein.
E. Engineer's Personnel at Construction Site
(1) The presence or duties of the ENGINEER's personnel at a construction site,
whether as on-site representatives or otherwise, do not make the

their obligations, duties, and responsibilities, including, but not limited to, all
construction methods, means, techniques, sequences, and procedures
necessary for coordinating and completing all portions of the construction

Attachment A, the ENGINEER or its personnel shall have no obligation or
responsibility to visit the construction site to become familiar with the
progress or quality of the completed work on the PROJECT or to determine,
in general, if the work on the PROJECT is being performed in a manner
indicating that the PROJECT, when completed, will be in accordance with
the Contract Documents, nor shall anything in the Contract Documents or
the agreement between CITY and ENGINEER be construed as requiring
ENGINEER to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to

of the work on the PROJECT. If the ENGINEER makes on-site
observation(s) of a deviation from the Contract Documents, the ENGINEER
shall inform the CITY.
(3) When professional certification of performance or characteristics of
materials, systems or equipment is reasonably required to perform the
services set forth in the Scope of Services, the ENGINEER shall be entitled
to rely upon such certification to establish materials, systems or equipment

economic feasibility, or schedules will not vary from the ENGINEER's
opinions, analyses, projections, or estimates.

progress payments to the construction contractor will be based on the
ENGINEER's knowledge, information, and belief from selective sampling
and observation that the work has progressed to the point indicated. Such
recommendations do not represent that continuous or detailed examinations
have been made by the ENGINEER to ascertain that the construction
contractor has completed the work in exact accordance with the Contract
Documents; that the final work will be acceptable in all respects; that the
ENGINEER has made an examination to ascertain how or for what purpose
the construction contractor has used the moneys paid; that title to any of the
work, materials, or equipment has passed to the CITY free and clear of liens,
claims, security interests, or encumbrances; or that there are not other
matters at issue between the CITY and the construction contractor that

AND DESIGN GUIDELINES UPDATE
ATTACHMENT A
DESIGN SERVICES FOR
WATER AND WASTEWATER INSTALLATION POLICY AND DESIGN
GUIDELINES UPDATE
The scope set forth herein defines the work to be performed by the ENGINEER in
completing the project. Both the CITY and ENGINEER have attempted to clearly define the
work to be performed and address the needs of the Project.
The CITY requests the ENGINEER to review and revise its Water and Wastewater
Installation Policy and Design Guidelines.
This project will consist of the following phases:
Phase 1 - Evaluation
Evaluate the CITY's current Policies and Procedures for Processing Water and
Wastewater Projects for Design and Construction and Policy for the Installation of
Community Facilities manuals. Also, evaluate design standards in use by other
governmental entities that might provide a good template and comparison for the
revised city standards.
Phase 2 - Recommendation
Based upon the results of the Evaluation phase, identify existing standards to keep

REFERENCE , 60W WW INSTALLATION
DATE: 8/15/2017 NO.: C-28333 LOG NAME: POLICY AND DESIGN
CRITERIA UPDATE
CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.,
in an Amount Not to Exceed $199,500.00 for the Update of Water and Wastewater
Installation Policy and Design Criteria (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an Engineering Agreement with
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $199,500.00 to update the Water and
Wastewater Installation Policy and Design Criteria
DISCUSSION:
The Water Department is updating the Water and Wastewater Installation Policy and Design Criteria
for development and redevelopment.
The scope of work includes four phases. Phase 1 is to review the Water Department's Installation
Policy and Design Criteria and compare with those of other utilities. Phase 2 is to assess the
standards needing to be updated and determine how those polices and criteria affect other existing
city policies and ordinances. Phase 3 is to develop the revised design criteria and policies. Phase 4 is
to seek input from the stakeholders and incorporate comments into a draft design criteria and policy
update. The work is expected to start in August 2017 and be complete by July 2018.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., was selected from the respondents to a Request for Qualifications
for the Update of the Water and Wastewater Installation Policy and Design Guidelines issued in
March 2017. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., was selected from a pool of three qualified applicants.
A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Department
and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with M/WBE or BDE Ordinance, because the
purchase of goods or services from source(s)where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are
negligible.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, and funds will be made available in the Fiscal Year 2018 operating budget of the Water
and Sewer Fund. Prior to an expenditure being made, the department has the responsibility to
validate the availability of funds.
