Explanation:
The City Commission desires to replace water mains where it is feasible to benefit the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of Hollywood. The Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) determined that it may be necessary to replace existing water mains in the area bounded by Sheridan Street and Arthur Street and I95 and North 26th Avenue known as “Finger Canals Area”, in which the Department had constant water main breaks and leaks.
On September 6, 2023, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2023-277, which authorized the execution of Continuing Services Agreements with eight firms for water, sewer, reuse, and stormwater infrastructure projects, one of the firms being Gannett Fleming, Inc. (“Gannett”).
The Department requested a proposal from Gannett to provide professional engineering services to include design, permitting, and bidding assistance for the proposed watermain replacements and Gannett responded with a proposal in an amount up to $473,268.00.
The Department staff evaluated the proposal and determined that the negotiated fees are fair and reasonable and in accordance with industry standards.
This agenda item seeks the City Commission’s approval and authorization for the execution of the Authorization to Proceed for Work Order Number GF 26-02 with Gannett for the requested services for this water main replacement project in an amount up to $473,268.00.
