RESOLUTION 09-46

 

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO PROCEED WITH A DIRECT CONTRACT WITH THE FIRM OF DUANE MILLER AND ASSOCIATES, OF ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, FOR GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $72,920, AS PART OF THE DESIGN OF THE KACHEMAK DRIVE PHASE II WATER AND SEWER PROJECT.

 

WHEREAS, The City Council awarded the professional engineering services contracts, via Resolution 06-136, on September 25, 2006 to two firms, BEESC of Anchorage, Alaska and Nelson of Kenai, Alaska. The BEESC contract was for the design of Kachemak Drive Water and Sewer Project (Phase II), and included field design survey and geotechnical engineering work by subcontractors: and

 

WHEREAS, During formalization of the design contract, Public Works requested and the City Council approved contracting directly for field design survey services directly with the selected survey firm.  By contracting directly with the survey firm the City saves the expense of a mark-up on the field survey subcontracted work; and

 

WHEREAS, The intent was to also contract directly with the geotechnical engineering firm, Duane Miller and Associates, for the same reason described above, but Public Works has not requested and the City Council has yet approved this contract.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Homer, Alaska, hereby authorizes the City Manager to proceed with a direct contract with the firm of Duane Miller and Associates of Anchorage, Alaska, for geotechnical engineering services as part of the design of the Kachemak Drive Phase II Water and Sewer Project in the amount of $72,920 and execute all appropriate documents.

 

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Homer City Council this 27th day of April, 2009.
