Explanation:
The 2007 Water System Master Plan identified the need to replace aging water distribution system pipes throughout the City of Hollywood.
The City of Hollywood water distribution system consists of over 600 miles of pipelines with diameters ranging from 2-inch to 36-inch.
In order to address the findings of the 2007 Water System Master Plan, the City of Hollywood, Department of Public Utilities developed and is implementing a City-wide Water Main Replacement Program.
The Water Main Replacement Program prioritizes the replacement of the water mains based on the age of the pipelines, repeated pipeline breaks in the areas, and water quality issues.
The City requested a proposal from Craven Thompson and Associates, Inc. to provide professional engineering services for the design, permitting, bidding, and construction services for the proposed water main.
Craven Thompson and Associates, Inc. and the City of Hollywood have a Professional Services Agreement for General Engineering Consulting Services for water and sewer infrastructure projects, and this agreement was approved by the City Commission by Resolution No. R-2009-214 on July 15, 2009; renewed by the City commission via Resolution No. R-2013-110 on May 1, 2013; and this agreement has a provision for insurance and indemnification that meets the City's requirements and gives the City the right to terminate for convenience.
The Administration recommends that the City Commission authorize the appropriate City Officials to execute the attached Authorization to Proceed for Work Order No. CTA 14-02 between Craven Thompson and Associates, Inc. and the City of Hollywood, together with such nonmaterial changes as may be subsequently agreed to by the City Manager and approved as to form and legality by the City Attorney, in the lump sum amount of $988,724.48.
Funding for this project was included in the FY 2014 Capital Improvement Program that was approved via Resolution No. R-2013-311.
The funding for design is available in account number 42.4000.76663.536.103121.
The tasks included in the proposal will be implemented in phases and the services will be completed in approximately fifteen (15) months.
