RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of Amendment No. 5 to City Secretary Contract No. 44649, an engineering
agreement with Wade Trim, Inc., in the amount of $125,050.00 for additional engineering services for the Westcliff Drainage Improvements project,
thereby revising the total contract amount to $2,186,271.00 (City Project No. C01669).
DISCUSSION:
On July 9, 2013, by Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) C-26320, the City Council authorized an Engineering Agreement with Wade Trim,
Inc., in the amount of $524,244.00 for engineering analysis and cost -benefit evaluation of capital improvement alternatives to mitigate flood risks in
the Westcliff neighborhood. The engineering assessment determined that an enlarged pipe system was the most effective alternative to
mitigate the flood risk.
It was decided that a phased approach to construction would be used. TPW Stormwater took advantage of opportunities to partner with
other groups within the City to construct the project in non -linear phases, thus, construction of Phase 2A has been completed and construction of
Phase 26 is underway. It is expected that the construction project for Phase 1 will be awarded in Fall of 2020.
The purpose of the design amendment recommended by this M&C is to identify and resolve any utility conflicts that may exist with the revised pipe
alignment for Phase 1. Previous amendments to the design agreement are as follows:
