HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of an Engineering Agreement with JQ Infrastructure, LLC, in the
Amount of$500,000.00 for General Engineering Support Services on Water and

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an Engineering Agreement with
JQ Infrastructure, LLC, in the amount of$500,000.00 for General Engineering Services on Water and
Wastewater projects with two renewal options.
DISCUSSION:
The Water Department needs general engineering support to assist with smaller design projects and
evaluations, such as sewer wet well rehabilitation, cat walk design, water pump station
improvements, wholesale customer meter stations, and other water and sewer evaluations and
designs. It is important to have stand-by design and evaluation capability in the event of
emergencies, for short-duration and small-sized projects and also for maintaining satisfactory
customer service levels.
The Engineer will provide services for various as yet undefined assignments that may arise. Past
contracts of this type have included work in the following areas:
Water and Wastewater Treatment Design;
Sewer Lift Station and Water Pump Station Design;
Water and Sanitary Sewer System Hydraulic Design;
Electrical, Instrumentation and SCADA Design;
Emergency Services; and
Other professional engineering evaluations or construction services.
As the City identifies needs, the Engineer is issued an assignment. The Engineer develops a fee for
the assigned scope of work, which must be approved by the City before work begins. Emergency or
Directed work may be invoiced on a Time and Materials basis for reasonable costs.
M/WBE Office-JQ Infrastructure, LLC, is in compliance with the City's DBE Ordinance by committing
to 15 percent SBE participation on this project. The City's goal on this project is 15 percent.
Additionally, JQ Infrastructure, LLC, is a certified MBE firm.
This contract will be funded from water and sewer operating funds. Eligible projects will be moved to
capital projects funding, as appropriate.
In addition to the contract amount, $25,000.00 is required for Staff project management.
This Agreement may be renewed up to two times at the City's option. Execution of the renewal
options will not require additional City Council authorization provided that sufficient funds for each
renewal have previously been appropriated.
This project is located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
