Facilities Upgrade Project.
DISCUSSION
In October 2004, the City was awarded an Environmental Protection Agency

Facility, (Exhibit 1). The improvements will consist of constructing a
pump building, replacing the booster pumps, motors, and appurtenances,
and installing all new electrical equipment and instrumentation.
Requests for Proposal to prepare plans, specifications and cost estimates
were sent to six engineering firms . Five responses were received and
evaluated on technical merit by a four-member selection committee. Two
of the firms received passing scores of 70 or higher. Listed below are
the scores and proposed fees of these two firms.
