SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Approve an Engineer of Record (EOR) work order to URS Corporation in the amount of $170,352 for the Resident Initiated Reclaimed Water Project - Phase II (14-0038-UT) and the Raw Water Main Project (10-0039-UT), and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Body
SUMMARY:
This Agenda Item provides for engineering and design services for the construction of new reclaimed water transmission and distribution mains in the Imperial Park Subdivision. This is a resident initiated project and more than 50 percent of the property owners in the project area have requested this service be extended to their neighborhood. Additionally due to the similar nature of the work, the design and permitting of a raw water main of a CSX crossing and SR 590 will be included for the brackish raw water transmission system.
The goal of this and all other reclaimed water projects is to reduce the amount of potable water and groundwater being used for irrigation and other non-potable uses. In addition, expansion of the Reclaimed Water Distribution System in accordance with Reclaimed Water Master Plan brings the City of Clearwater closer to achieving zero-discharge of effluent to Tampa Bay and adjacent surface waters.
The work order provides for the design and bidding services of reclaimed water distribution systems and their associated extensions of the reclaimed water transmission system to 242 residential properties in Imperial Park Subdivision.
The work order also provides for the design and permitting of a raw water main of a CSX crossing in Kapok Park and SR 590 between Virginia Lane and Mission Hills Boulevard. These two locations are parts of the components which will transport the raw water to the WTP under the RO No. 2 Plant Permitting and Development Project (10-0039-UT). The adjacent constructed segments were designed by URS under a separate work order.
The design phase for Reclaimed Water Project - Phase II is anticipated to be complete by June 2015, with the construction phase scheduled for beginning by September 2015.
URS Corporation is one of the City's Engineers-of-record, and this work order was negotiated in accordance with the Consultants Competitive Negotiations Act.
