Title
Resolution to Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Midwestern Consulting, LLC for the Design of Newport Creek Culvert Crossing (RFP No. 650) $57,084.21
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to authorize a Professional Services Agreement with Midwestern Consulting, LLC (MCI) for design engineering services in the amount of $57,084.21 for the Newport Creek Culvert Crossing at Newport Road.
The purpose of this project is to repair the inlet and outfall of the existing culvert and to stabilize the slope from the existing culvert to Newport Road (see attached Project Location Map). In recent years, during severe rain events, the embankment on the upstream end of the culvert has been washed out by floodwaters, causing the collapse of a section of Newport Road over the culvert.
The Project Management Unit issued a Request for Proposal (RFP #650) for a professional engineering firm to study and design repairs and/or improvements for multiple failing storm sewer outfalls and culverts throughout the City. In response to our request, we 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. MCI has received an updated Human Rights and Living Wage approval on May 16, 2008.
Services to be performed include the required surveying, analysis, design, and permitting for the project, as well as the development of complete construction plans and specifications for the project.
The Newport Creek Culvert Crossing project and its associated funding was approved by Council as a part of the FY09 Capital Budget. Funding will be advanced from the Storm Water Sewer System Operating Fund balance pending the sale of Stormwater Revenue Bonds.
