Approve Consultant Agreement with Consor for the Willows Road Watermain Extension (NE 116th St to NE 124th St) Project

 

OVERVIEW STATEMENT:

recommendation

​​The City has committed to construct 1300 linear feet (LF) of 12-inch watermain in an interlocal agreement with City of Kirkland as a part of the Proctor Willows Development. This consultant agreement with Consor in the amount of $435,515 is for design services for the Willows Road Watermain Extension (NE 116th St to NE 124th St) Project, Project 2210.

​Three consultant Statement of Qualification (SOQ) documents were selected from the MRSC roster for Engineering Services.  The SOQs were reviewed and rated by three stakeholders to select a consultant. Consor‘s SOQ was rated the highest for this project.  A scope and budget was then developed with Consor to move forward. ​
