Resolution to Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Stantec Consulting Michigan, Inc., for Water Treatment Professional Engineering Services ($200,000.00)
Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval of Amendment No. 2 to the professional services agreement for professional engineering services with Stantec Consulting Michigan, Inc. (Stantec). Council approved a professional services agreement for $200,000.00 with Stantec in June 2016 as part of Resolution No. R-16-213 and Amendment No. 1 with Stantec in March 2017 as part of Resolution No. R-17-080.
The City is seeking to amend the professional services agreement with Stantec to accommodate additional professional engineering service needs over the remaining duration of the contract. Stantec is currently supporting Public Services on numerous projects within the Water Treatment Services Unit (WTSU). The task-based contract is effective FY17 through FY19. As of the end of FY17, Stantec has completed Barton Turbine Overhaul investigation, chiller replacement study for the ozone building, and bathymetric survey of Barton Pond. Currently, Stantec is working on the Barton Raw Water Pump Station Improvements and the Intake and Raw Water Main Replacement, as well as providing miscellaneous hydroelectric dam and electrical services. Stantec has demonstrated themselves to be experienced in a wide range of disciplines, responsive and cost effective in meeting those diverse needs on complex engineering tasks associated with the WTSU.
Additional professional engineering services are required to support the Water Treatment Services Unit with capital, operation, and maintenance projects at the Water Treatment Plant and associated facilities, recreational dams, and hydroelectric generating dams and maintain the aggressive capital improvement project schedule through FY19.
Based upon the remaining capital needs and the current spending rate, it is recommended that City Council approve Amendment No. 2 to the professional services agreement with Stantec, to provide additional Professional Engineering Services for the remaining life of the contract, through FY19.
Stantec complies with the requirements of the City’s Non-Discrimination and Living Wage ordinance.
These engineering services are to be funded from the approved FY18 Water Supply System Operations and Maintenance budget, Parks Maintenance and Capital Improvement Millage, the General Fund operating budget and FY18 Capital Improvement Plan budget, for which services are rendered. Services for FY19 will be funded from the operating or capital budgets for these fiscal years if so approved by Council. Tasks will be assigned on as-needed basis to the appropriate fund.
