Operating Fund from the Fund Balance in the amount of $1,165,735;
2. Authorize the transfer of $1,500,000 from the Storm Water Operating Fund to Storm Water Capital Fund;

DISCUSSION:
On December 11, 2007, staff provided a presentation to the Council outlining the need and purpose for
Integrated Program Management (IPM) within the City. The City expects continued unprecedented growth
in capital project needs that could reach $1.8 billion over the next five years. The challenge faced by the
City is haw to best manage the overall delivery of these projects.
Staff has recommended that the City engage the services of an engineering consultant to assist in the re-
engineering of the City's capital project delivery system and provide additional staff support to deliver
projects.
It is anticipated that the development and implementation of IPM will take approximately three years to
accomplish and will be achieved through a four phased program. All phases of the project will focus on five
major task areas:
* Communication (internal and external);
* Organizational Development;
* Capital Project Delivery;
* Contractor Development (increasing capacity); and
* Public Involvement.
By implementing IPM, the City expects to significantly increase its capacity to design and construct its
capital projects. In addition, it is anticipated that there will be significant cost savings achieved through the
delivery of projects earlier and through efficiency gained through streamlining and standardization of project

administration approaches across City departments.
Earlier this year, staff issued a Request for Qualifications to seek the most qualified and experienced firm to
provide the professional services required. With the assistance of a broad-based employee selection
committee, the CH2MHill team was determined to be the most qualified and experienced.
Phase 1 services to be provided by CH2MHill will include a holistic approach to changing the business
environment for the delivery of capital projects by:
* Streamlining and standardizing processes;
* Developing, training and retaining project delivery staff;
* Providing effective project management tools; and
* Aligning organizational structure and accountability.
The professional services provided by CH2MHill will be on an hourly basis and multiplier with a not to
exceed cost of $3,844,653.
CH2MHill is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 31 percent M/WBE
participation. The City's goal on the project is 25 percent.
