Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) administers activities for compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program and its Community Rating System. Adherence to these activities, including the Floodplain Management Plan (“FMP”), impacts insurance rates for homes and other structures.
The Department received a Federally Funded Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Program grant for $400,000.00 to update the City’s FMP.
On June 18, 2024, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2024-200, which ranked professional consulting engineering firms and authorized the execution of an agreement with the highest ranked firm, Tetra Tech, Inc. (“Tetra Tech”) to provide professional engineering services for the FMP update.
Department staff requested a proposal from Tetra Tech for the referenced services. Tetra Tech submitted a proposal in an amount up to $400,000.00. Department staff evaluated the scope and fee of the proposal and determined that the negotiated fee is fair, reasonable, and in accordance with industry standards.
This agenda item seeks the City Commission’s approval and authorization for execution of the Authorization to Proceed (“ATP”) for Work Order Number TTH 25-02 with Tetra Tech for professional engineering services related to the FMP Update in an amount up to $400,000.00.
The project is estimated to be completed within two years of the issuance of the ATP.
Fiscal Impact
Funding for this project requires amending the approved FY 2025 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program as detailed in Exhibit 1, subject to approval of this resolution.
Department staff will manage this project, and no additional staff are needed as a result of this project.
