MEMORANDUM 04-55

 

To:                   Walt Wrede, City Manager

From:               Carey Meyer, Public Works Director

Date:                April 6, 2004

Subject:           South Kachemak Drive (Phase I) and Ocean Drive Loop

Water and Sewer Local Improvement Projects

                        Approval to Award Design/Construction Administration


 


Public Works has requested a proposal from William J. Nelson and Associates, Kenai, AK to provide design and construction administration for the two LIDs referenced above.  Two years ago, Nelson responded to our RFP and was found to be the most qualified to complete water and sewer design.  The firm successfully designed four LIDs that were constructed last summer. 

 

The cost to complete the design is as follows:

 

Project                                                              Design Cost         Design Budget           % of Construction        

South Kachemak Drive Sewer (Phase I)           $40,551                  $63,300                            7.7%*

Ocean Drive Loop Sewer                                 $59,431                $123,375                            6.6%*

 

            * normal range 6-10%

 

Public Works review of the above referenced proposals indicates that the fees proposed are fair and reasonable; and are within the budgets established for the projects.

 

Recommendation:

 

Council award the design of these two projects to William J. Nelson and Associates, (South Kachemak Drive Phase I Sewer in the amount of $40,551; Ocean Drive Loop Sewer) in the amount of $59,431) and authorize the City Manager to execute all appropriate documents.
