RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT L 30210 WITH TRC ENVIRONMENTAL CORPORATION FOR ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE CONGDON BOULEVARD STORMWATER OUTFALLS AS PART OF THE LAKEWALK AND SHORELINE REPAIRS FROM THE OCTOBER 2018 STORM FOR AN INCREASE OF $21,640 AND A NEW TOTAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $597,211.
Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to execute an amendment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A, with TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) for additional engineering services for the Congdon Boulevard stormwater outfalls as part of the lakewalk and shoreline repairs from the October 2018 storm, for an increase of $21,640, and a new total not to exceed $597,211, payable from 225-125-1815-5310, Strm1018 (disaster recovery fund, finance, contract services, storm surge October 10, 2018).
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes an amendment to the agreement with TRC for additional engineering services including construction administration and inspection for the outfalls and shoreline restoration project near 7428 and 7825 Congdon Boulevard.
City staff do not currently have the capacity or expertise to provide the construction administration and inspection services necessary for the repair of this critical infrastructure. The damage to the shoreline and outfalls and subsequent erosion for additional rain and wind events has become so severe as to require immediate restoration in order to prevent damages to the foundation of Highway 61. TRC has both the manpower and expertise to provide the services needed and submitted a cost for the additional services at the City’s request.
TRC’s project cost sheet for this amendment is attached to Exhibit A.
The repairs and corresponding engineering services are part of the federal disaster declaration due to the October 2018 storm. The City will need to cover the costs up front, and while it’s difficult to anticipate what the federal emergency management agency (FEMA) will approve, we are working closely with Homeland Security Emergency Management staff for the best possible outcome. If approved, FEMA will reimburse 75% of the costs and the state will reimburse 25% of the costs; but if FEMA funds only a portion of the outfalls project, the City may be responsible for a percentage of the $21,640 increase. Should the City be required to fund a portion of this increase, payment will be made from the Storm Water Fund.
