SUBJECT
(CD 6) Authorize Execution of a Contract with Alan Plummer and Associates, Inc. d/b/a Plummer Associates, Inc. in the Amount of $375,470.00 for
the Design of the Westcreek Channel Rehabilitation Project
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of a contract with Alan Plummer and Associates, Inc. d/b/a Plummer Associates, Inc. in
the amount of $375,470.00 for the design of the Westcreek Channel Rehabilitation project (City Project No. 103060).
DISCUSSION:
The engineering agreement recommended by this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) will provide for engineering services related to the
Westcreek Channel Rehabilitation project. This project will restore the damaged concrete channel and the streambed.
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. Based on the results of the RFQ, Plummer Associates, Inc. (Plummer)
was selected as the most qualified consultant to provide engineering services for the Westcreek Channel Rehabilitation project. Plummer will
analyze and evaluate the failure of Westcreek Channel between Westcreek Drive and the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe Railroad, and design
channel improvements to mitigate the failure of the concrete -lined channel slopes and stabilize the streambed scour. The channel improvements
will restore the structural integrity of the channel slopes and prevent further deterioration/movement to protect adjacent properties and ensure the
channel continues to effectively convey stormwater away from area homes and businesses.
Plummer will evaluate environmental and floodplain requirements and assist staff in obtaining any required permits. Additionally, Plummer will
prepare plans and specifications for construction and provide services during bidding and construction. Plummer proposes to perform engineering
services for a fee not to exceed $375,470.00. Staff considers the fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
M/WBE Office — Plummer Associates, Inc. is in compliance with the City's BIDE Ordinance by committing to 15% SBE participation on this
project. The City's SBE goal on this project is 10%.
The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6.
