Approve Consultant Agreement with BHC for the Viewpoint AC Watermain Replacement Project
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Public Works is requesting approval of the consultant agreement with BHC in the amount of $1,200,000. This agreement is for design services for the Viewpoint AC Watermain Project, which will replace aging asbestos concrete water pipes, structurally deficient stormwater pipes, and upgrade ADA ramps within the project area.
Staff is seeking authorization to negotiate and acquire property rights for the project as needed.
Public Works is also requesting Council increase the total funding for this project from $10,555,742 to $12,619,684. This increase of $2,063,942 is for the replacement of deficient stormwater pipe in the same area as the water pipes that will be replaced. Combining the water pipe and stormwater pipe replacements into one project limits impact to residents and the travelling public and saves taxpayers due to efficiencies of combining the water and stormwater work into one construction site.
