DISCUSSION:
This Mayor and Council Communication is to authorize the preparation of plans and specifications for the construction of Southside IV Pump
Station and hydropneumatic tank to be located near the City's Sun Country Elevated Water Storage Tank.
Due to proposed development in the Southside IV service area, it is necessary to install a pump station and hydropneumatic tank to provide
increased capacity and delivery reliability to future customers.
Freese and Nichols, Inc. proposes to provide all the necessary design and construction administration services for a fee of $546,302.00. Staff
considers the proposed fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
In addition to the contract amount, $175,000.00 is required for project management, real property acquisitions, and utility coordination. This
project will have no impact on the Water Department Operating budget when complete.
