Title
Resolution to Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Midwestern Consulting, LLC ($23,500.00) for the Mallets Creek Culvert Crossing at South State Street Project
Memorandum
This is to recommend approval of the attached resolution to amend the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Midwestern Consulting, LLC for construction engineering and construction inspection services.
The purpose of this project is to replace the existing failing headwall at the downstream (east) end of the culvert under South State Street, and to align the new headwall with the direction of flow in the Creek. Currently, severe bank erosion is occurring around the side of the existing headwall and through a cracked storm pipe that discharges through the side of the culvert headwall. The erosion is currently threatening the integrity of the sidewalk adjacent to South State Street. Construction is currently planned for July 2008.
The Project Management Services Unit issued a Request for Proposal (RFP #650) in November of 2006 for a professional engineering firm to analyze and design repairs for multiple storm outlets and culverts at various locations throughout the City. In response to our request, the City received twenty-three (23) proposals. A review team composed of City staff evaluated the proposals and selected Midwestern Consulting, LLC for their proposed work plan, staff qualifications, past involvement with similar projects, and competitive fee schedule.
A PSA with Midwestern Consulting, LLC for $18,457.00 was established in order to perform the design work for the Mallets Creek Culvert Crossing at South State Street Project. This PSA was amended by $6,533.00 on November 1, 2007 (Amendment No. 1) to include additional design work for the headwall.
Amendment No. 2 to the existing PSA with Midwestern Consulting, LLC will include construction inspection services, construction engineering as needed, and some construction staking services....
