Hargis, Director of Engineering Fleming Nguyen, Associate Civil Engineer REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to sign a professional consulting services agreement with Brown and Caldwell Consulting Engineers to update the City Water System Master Plan. RECOMMENDATION: Approve. BACKGROUND: The City Water System Master Plan was prepared in 1985. Staff recommends that the Master Plan be updated every ten (10) years. The Engineering Department is proposing that Brown and Caldwell Consulting Engineers be retained to conduct the update of the City Water System Master Plan. The proposed study by the Consultant will cover the following areas: 1. Facilities Review: Make field inspections of pumping stations, wells and storage reservoirs to determine conditions, operational parameters, maintenance practices and opportunities for increasing efficiency and cost effectiveness. A preliminary seismic assessment of the storage reservoirs will be carried out to identify deficiencies and to determine if modifications and further analyses will be needed. The Consultant will then incorporate findings into a recommended capital improvement plan. 2. Water Distribution System Review: Update the City's existing hydraulic computer model of the water distribution system. Run the model to identify fire flow and distribution system deficiencies under existing and projected future demand R 1 scenarios. The Consultant will then incorporate findings into a recommended 2 capital improvement plan. 3 4 3. Water Demand Review: Project future water demand based on the latest General 5 Plan and impacts of planned water conservation efforts /programs. 6 7 4. Review of Sources of City's Water Supply: Evaluate the adequacy and cost 8 benefit of the City's water supply including water supplied by Sonoma County 9 Water Agency and groundwater supply. Study alternatives to Sonoma County 10 Water Agency's aqueduct. Evaluate groundwater quality and make 11 recommendations on how to protect and improve well water quality. Incorporate 12 findings into a recommended capital improvement plan for meeting projected 13 future water demand. 14 15 5. Geographic Information System GIS) Pilot Program Development: Develop a 16 pilot GIS using a small, representative area of approximately two City blocks. The 17 pilot program will evaluate the City's existing Auto -Cad base mapping program 18 and existing data which have potential for becoming a part of the GIS (i.e. County 19 Assessor data, maintenance data, water infrastructure, etc.). The pilot program 20 will provide a framework for the entire City's future information management 21 efforts. An evaluation report will be prepared which will include a 5 -year plan for 22 implementation of an expanded GIS program. 23 24 Staff prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) to conduct the study. The RFP was mailed 25 to the following three consulting engineering firms: 26 27 Boyle Engineering Corporation, Santa Rosa, CA 28 Brown and Caldwell Consulting Engineers, Pleasant Hill, CA 29 Winzler & Kelly Consulting Engineers, Santa Rosa, CA 30 31 All three firms submitted proposals. They were then interviewed by an oral board 32 comprised of five members of Engineering and Water Departments. As the result of the 33 written proposal, oral interview, experience of the firm and approach to managing the 34 project, staff selected Brown and Caldwell. Staff then negotiated a fee based on the above 35 scope of services (items 1 through 10). This process conforms to State laws for 36 solicitation of professional engineering services. 37 38 The attached scope of work (Exhibit A) from Brown and Caldwell outlines their services 39 and fee.
