Item 10 - Approval of Consultant Agmt with The Eng. Partners, Inc. for Design Services for WTP Electrical System Assessment; RFP 21-019April 20, 2021, Item #10DATE: TO: FROM: CONTACT: SUBJECT: Summary: AGENDA REPORT CityofPoway April 20, 2021 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Robert Manis, Director of Development Services f1Jl Andrea Thomas, Associate Civil Engineer (858) 668-4605 or athomas@poway.org CITY COUNCIL Approval of Consultant Agreement with The Engineering Partners, Inc. for Design Services for the Water Treatment Plant Electrical System Assessment; RFP No. 21-019 In February 2021, the Development Services Department issued a Request for Proposal (RFP No. 21-019) for design services for the Water Treatment Plant Electrical System Assessment. This action will approve the Consultant Agreement with The Engineering Partners, Inc (EPI) to provide analytical services for the project. Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement with EPI for design services for the Water Treatment Plant Electrical System Assessment per the outlined terms of the Consultant Agreement (Attachment A), with a not-to-exceed fee of $61,780. Discussion: In April 2014, the City hired a consultant to perform a comprehensive assessment of the water treatment facilities. The report did not specifically address the electrical systems in detail, resulting in the necessity for a separate assessment. This assessment is to be completed under the proposed agreement. The Development Services Department received three proposals for design services for the Water Treatment Plant Electrical System Assessment. The project scope includes electrical load calculations for plant operations, condition assessment of the electrical system, and a priority plan for replacement of electrical equipment. Specific alternatives for improvements to a backup generator are also included to enhance the emergency preparedness of the treatment plant. The information gathered will ultimately be delivered in a full report with findings and recommendations. After careful review of the proposals, staff determined that EPI was highly qualified and most cost effective to perform the design work required. Approval of this Consultant Agreement will provide professional services for the Water Treatment Plant Electrical System Assessment. 1 of 18
April 20, 2021, Item #10Environmental Review: This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Fiscal Impact: The consultant's fee will be based on the scope of work as outlined in the Agreement. The not-to-exceed fee of $61,780 for professional services will be the basis for this effort. Funds totaling $128,000.00 are available in the Water Treatment Plant Electrical System Assessment (WTR0031) project. Completion of this project will help ensure the sustainability and reliability of the water system. Public Notification: None. Attachments: A.
