RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Stormwater Utility Fund in the Amount of $1,105,000.00 and decreasing the
unaudited, unreserved, undesignated Stormwater Utility Fund Balance by the same amount; and
2. Authorize execution of Amendment No. 3 to City Secretary Contract No. 39489 with Jacobs
Engineering Group, Inc., for Citywide Stormwater System GIS Project in the Amount of $3,265,000.00 for
the Transportation and Public Works Department, Stormwater Management Division.
DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication (M &C) requests approval of Amendment No. 3 for the final phase
of a planned multi -phase project to locate, assess, and map the approximately 35,000 inlets and 1000
miles of pipe in the City's drainage system. The overall project scope of work includes the development of
a Geographic Information System (GIS) map of the system and associated easements from: engineering
plans, detailed field surveys, and video tapes of selected pipes. The GIS map will efficiently provide vital
data on the location, condition, material type, and age of these stormwater facilities. Such data is crucial
for the accurate assessment of drainage problems, the planning and design of effective capital projects,
and the efficient operations of field maintenance crews for both preventive maintenance and emergency
response.
In the previous phases of this initiative all engineering plans have been mapped and roughly 45 percent of
inlets and manholes have been surveyed. The scope of this Amendment will focus on completing the
survey and tying this information back to the engineering plans. In addition, the condition assessment of
selected pipes will be completed and a program will be outlined for ongoing condition assessment to be
executed as priortities and resources dictate.
In August 2007, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued and a total of six proposals were received. The
top three consultants were interviewed. Carter and Burgess, Inc., was selected as the most qualified and
an Agreement was executed with them in the amount of $1,690,999.00 (M &C C- 23072). Carter and

Burgess, Inc., was subsequently acquired by Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. (Jacobs), so a new contract
was executed with Jacobs for Phase 2 services in the amount of $3,590,056.00 (M &C C- 23816).
Subsequent amendments to that Agreement were $480,000.00 for database maintenance (M &C C- 24410)
and $2,123,000.00 for Phase 3 services (M &C C- 24446). Amendment No. 3 in the amount of
$3,265,000.00 will bring the total contract cost to $11,149,055.00. Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.,
proposes to perform the scope of work for this Amendment on a time and materials basis for a not -to-
exceed fee of $3,265,000.00. City staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of
services proposed.
Currently available is $2,160,000.00 in the Fiscal Year 2012 Adopted Stormwater Utility operating budget
and the attached Ordinance will appropriate the remaining $1,105,000.00 making a total of $3,265,000.00
available for this Amendment.
Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., is in compliance with the City's MWWBE Ordinance by committing to 29
percent MWWBE participation. The City's MWBE goal is 29 percent.
This project is located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
