finalize development of a strategic, long term Stormwater Management Pipe Assessment and
Condition Program (PACP). A strategic, long term PACP is important to ensure critical pipe systems
function as designed and to avoid catastrophic failures that pose a danger to the public.
The development of a Storm Drain Rehabilitation Program is a Level 1 Priority, Key Initiative included
in the 2018 Council adopted strategic Stormwater Management Program Master Plan. Storm drain
rehabilitation is one of the Stormwater Program's top priorities due to the life safety risk that can
happen when deteriorating storm drain pipes create sinkholes.
In May 2021, the Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW), Stormwater Management
Division, published a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for various engineering consulting services.
Eleven (11) consultants responded to the RFQ for the Information Management service area with
Statements of Qualifications (SOQ). An evaluation team of two City staff subject matter experts from
the Stormwater Management Division and Business Support Division of TPW scored the SOQ's based
on company experience, prior projects, workload, and team experience. The City's Business Equity
team also evaluated the SOQ's. Based on the scoring, Halff Associates, Inc. was selected as the
most qualified consultant for this work. Halff Associates, Inc. proposes to perform the scope of work
for this contract for a not-to-exceed fee of$600,000.00.
The City will issue individual task orders to authorize the consultant to perform work under this
Agreement until such time as the contract funds have been expended. The City, at its sole option,
may renew this contract two times for an additional $600,000.00 each under the same terms and
conditions. Staff considers the fee to be fair and reasonable for the anticipated services to be
performed.
This contract will not result in any additional annual operating cost for the Transportation and Public
Works (TPW)Stormwater Management Division.
Funding is budgeted in the TPW Dept Highway&Streets Department's Stormwater Capital Projects
Fund for the purpose of funding the Storm Drain Pipe Rehab project, as appropriated.
