RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Tetra Tech Inc. in
the amount of $220,000 plus a contingency of $25,000 for a total project
amount not to exceed $245,000 for the design of a new sewer lift station.
DISCUSSION
The City's existing sewer lift station on Bristol Street was originally
constructed in the 1960's and was upgraded about 15 years ago (Exhibit
1). The current capacity of the lift station is undersized for today's
sewage flows. This project will provide for a new sewer lift station at
the end of San Lorenzo Avenue, approximately 700 ft. away from the
existing facility.
Requests for proposals to prepare plans, specifications and cost
estimates were sent to five qualified engineering firms. Three responses
were received and evaluated on technical merit by a four-member selection
committee. The sealed fee proposals of the three firms were then opened.
Listed below are the scores and proposed fees of these three firms.

Staff recommends that Tetra Tech be retained for this project. They were

cost proposal. Their proposal demonstrated that the firm has extensive
experience with similar projects, a good understanding of the project
goals and objectives, and a strong project team.
