FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
BW2 Engineers, Inc. has submitted a proposal to the City to perform the engineering surveying services for the alley replacement project in an amount not to exceed $45,000.00. Funding is available in the Utility Consolidated Accounts.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:

- Sustaining quality of life - Reconstruction of the alleys should improve the appearance of the adjoining properties and promote residents to provide better upkeep of their property.
- Sustaining day-to-day operations - The replacement of substandard alley pavement will reduce the need for non-scheduled or emergency repairs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and enter into an engineering surveying services contract with BW2 Engineers to perform topographical surveying services, in an amount not to exceed $45,000.00.
