Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) needs on-call professional engineering support services to help with water projects on an as-needed basis. These services will help ensure the Department meets various regulatory compliance, legislative, and contractual requirements. Although some of the services needed can be pre-defined, additional needs may arise.
The Department has determined that the following water and wastewater project tasks require engineering support:
• Modeling analysis of the water distribution system
• Regulatory Compliance:
• Permit modifications or renewals
• Proactive participation in the development of new regulations
• Technical evaluations and reports to address regulatory issues
• Presentations and project status reports
• Engineering Services:
• Evaluation of new technologies
• Periodic reassessment of upgrade and re-rate programs
• Financial analysis and support for grant funding
• Preparation of technical letters, reports, and presentation materials
On August 30, 2023, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2023-251 authorizing the execution of continuing consulting engineering services contracts with five firms for a period of five years for the Water Treatment Plant and Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant projects, one of the firms being Carollo Engineers, Inc. (“CEI”).
The Department requested a proposal from CEI to provide the aforementioned services, and CEI submitted one in an amount up to $150,000.00.
This agenda item seeks the City Commission’s approval and authorization to execute the attached Authorization to Proceed for Work Order No. CEI 25-03 with CEI in an amount up to $150,000.00.
