Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) is responsible for the planning, design, construction management, and inspection of utility engineering projects. The Department wishes to hire on-call consultant engineers who can assist in performing this necessary work to maintain the Department’s operational functions and design small projects on an as-needed basis.
Examples of the desired water and wastewater-related tasks these consultants are needed to perform include:
• Assistance in the development of capital improvement project budgets, cost estimates, and project schedules,
• The design, review, and management of capital improvement projects,
• Oversight and inspection of projects during construction,
• Preparation of permit modification and renewal documents,
• Financial analysis and support for grant funding,
• Preparation of technical letters, reports, and presentation materials.
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”).
Department staff requested a proposal from Gannett for the requested services, based on the hourly rate schedule established in the Professional Services Agreement dated October 31, 2023.
