process. They propose to perform the design services for a lump sum fee of $524,244.00. Staff
considers the fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
Funding for this project is being provided from revenue bonds in the Stormwater Capital Projects
Bond Fund.
M/WBE Office: Wade Trim, Inc., is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by committing to 16
percent SBE participation on this project. The City's SBE goal on this project is 14 percent.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 3 and 9.
