Title
Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Approve A Professional Services Contract With Birkhoff, Hendricks & Carter, LLP For Design Of The Marsh South Elevated Water Storage Tank Repaint Project In An Amount Not To Exceed $39,000.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Based on an assessment performed last year which prioritized three of the city's elevated water storage tanks for repainting or replacement, and began with the repainting of the Hutton tank last October, the Marsh South elevated tank is scheduled for repainting in the fall of this year. Like the Hutton tank, this is a composite tank, so only the inside and outside of the bowl portion of the tank will be painted. The outside tank coating will use the same color pattern and design as the Hutton tank, which is currently being repainted. The concrete stem will remain as is.
Consultant selection was performed using a request for qualifications (RFQ) method where engineering firms submitted a two-part statement of qualifications which was evaluated by a three person committee. The first part contained a project approach, understanding, schedule and similar-type-projects-completed section without knowing the firm's name. These were scored and ranked, and from there the top 5 were evaluated further using the qualifications of the firm and the proposed design team members. The top firms were selected for projects during the next two years.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Birkhoff, Hendricks & Carter, LLP has submitted a proposal to the City to perform the engineering design and construction phase services for the project in an amount not to exceed $39,000.00. Funding is available in the Utility Consolidated Fund (Account Unit 855160-115030799).
