<br />DISCUSSION
<br />On August 16, 2022, the City Council approved agreements with Tetra Tech, Inc.,
<br />Ardurra Group, Inc., Psomas, Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc., Huitt-Zollars, Inc., and
<br />Tait & Associates, Inc. to provide on -call engineering services for the Public Works
<br />Agency Water Resources Division. To date, staff has utilized these consultants to
<br />provide professional engineering design and cost estimation work for several civil works
<br />projects relating to water, sewer, and recycled water facilities and systems.
<br />The original agreement was awarded an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 for a three-
<br />year term, with the provision for one two-year extension. Staff recommends amending
<br />the agreements to increase the funding amount by $750,000 for the remainder of the
<br />term to allow these services to be utilized for additional civil works projects included in
<br />the current and future fiscal years' Capital Improvement Programs (CIP). The additional
<br />funding will help ensure that the much -needed capital projects identified in the CIP can
<br />commence according to schedule.
