DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)will authorize the first renewal of City Secretary Contract No.53569,a professional services
agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc.(FNI)for Stormwater Hazardous Roadway Overtopping Mitigation(HROM)Prioritization, Feasibility
Assessment and project development assignments and an amendment for additional funds in the total amount of$1,800,000.00.
In May 2018,the Transportation and Public Works Department(TPW),Stormwater Management Division,published a Request for Qualifications
(RFQ)for various technical services associated with drainage engineering, including prioritization,feasibility assessment and project
development.To prepare for the proposed 2020 revenue bond program, FNI was selected as the most qualified engineering consultant to provide
these services as the HROM program consultant leading the identification, prioritization,evaluation,and project development for the bond
program.
On February 4,2020(M&C 20-0066),the City Council approved the original agreement in an amount not to exceed$1,300,000.00 and the
authority to grant up to two renewals in the same amount.The contract was structured to provide for additional renewal periods for the purpose of
maintaining continuity and efficiency in the delivery of the Stormwater capital program and to facilitate the accelerated delivery of high priority
HROM projects in conjunction with the upcoming revenue bond sale.This renewal will cover HROM project development for the planned
$70,000,000.00 bond program.
The amendment and increased funding will allow FNI to continue to assess potential HROM projects citywide to determine strategic priorities,
evaluate feasibility and develop basic scopes,schedules and budgets for selected projects that are acceptable,effective and actionable.This
information will be the basis for the final project designs to be completed by engineers selected through a qualifications-based process.
The revised contract amount after this renewal and amendment will be$3,100,000.00. It will remain in effect until funds are expended or the work is
completed.
MIWBE Office—Freese and Nichols, Inc.is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by committing to 10%SBE participation on Amendment
#1 on this project.The City's SBE goal on Amendment#1 is 10%.
The projects are located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.

Bonds Fund for the SW Hazardous Rd Overtopping programmable project to support the approval of the above recommendation and execution of
the renewal and amendment for the professional services agreement. Prior to any expenditure being incurred,the Transportation&Public Works
