Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval of Professional Services Agreements for Professional Engineering Services with Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber, Inc. ("Fishbeck") for $500,000.00, Stantec Consulting Michigan Inc. (Stantec) for $500,000.00, and Jacobs Consultants Inc. (Jacobs) for $500,000.00 for Fiscal Years FY25 through FY27 to be performed on an as-needed basis, with the option to extend the services for two (2) one-year periods.
The Water Treatment Services Unit (WTSU) is responsible for planning, budgeting, executing and managing design and construction on a wide array of capital improvement, operation and maintenance projects at the WTSU facilities. These facilities include the Water Treatment Plant, water storage and pumping facilities, as well as two recreational dams and 2 hydroelectric dams.
In January 2024, the City issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 24-02 for professional engineering services to supplement and support the WTSU with its significant workload and demands. The three engineering contracts will be used when additional support is needed to maintain the aggressive schedules and heavy workload associated with capital, operation, and maintenance projects, as well as to provide on-site and on-call engineering assistance for the Water System, dams, and hydroelectric facilities. Each of the contracts shall be structured with not-to-exceed limits of $500,000.00 with no minimum required expenditures. Making use of these firms on an ongoing basis will permit the WTSU to more effectively utilize the existing workforce, while continuing to deliver quality and cost-effective engineering services to maintain the City's water supply.
