Resolution to Approve an Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with CDM Michigan, Inc. for the Swift Run Parallel Relief Sewer Project ($114,146.00)
Memorandum
This is to recommend approval of the attached resolution authorizing an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with CDM Michigan, Inc. (CDM) for construction engineering services for the Swift Run Parallel Relief Sewer.
On September 4, 2003, the City entered into an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) to address sanitary sewer overflows within the City. As part of the ACO compliance program, the City is obligated to begin construction of the Swift Run Parallel Relief Sewer by December 31, 2008. Bids for the construction of the project were opened on June 27, 2008 and award of the construction contract is being submitted under a separate resolution to Council.

The project was put on hold due to delays in negotiation of an Outside City Service Agreement (OSSA) between the City and Shetland Drive property owners. The issues were later resolved and in March 2006, CDM’s contract was amended to include easement-related work (R-101-3-06).
Because CDM prepared the design and is most familiar with the project, they are best suited to provide cost effective construction engineering services.
Below is the breakdown of the scope of services included in the proposed amendment.
1) Construction Engineering ($22,642.00). CDM will provide construction engineering, including preparing field design changes, reviewing construction claims and contractor submittals, meeting with the neighbors, weekly meetings with the contractor, and preparation of as-built drawings.
2) Construction Staking and Surveying ($9,709.00). CDM will provide all the necessary construction staking throughout the job.
3) Construction Inspection ($81,795.00). CDM will provi...
