Section 2.2.5, because Habitat for Humanity submitted a response to the RFP# 21-136 from 2021. Habitat for Humanity was recommended an Award on May 11, 2022 and Council approved the Commitment Letter in November 2022. The Effective Date is June 6, 2023 for the CWA Agenda Item # 14 – Contract to Loengreen Inc. for Council Chamber remodel Project including bathroom and translation booth. Bathroom is a full gut job basically gutting the existing restrooms and creating 4 separate bathrooms with one bathroom only accessible to City Council. There was a question asking why there is no floor plan for the future translation area. Staff Response: Rudy Rosas has provided the floor drawing of the translation room attached below. Improvements will create an accessible path of travel from room 147 to the dais as well as a separate translation room that is an open canvas for the A/V team and PIO to program with multiple workstations depending on the translation needs. Agenda Item # 16 – Agreement with Aqua Metric Sales to Add funds for Automated Metering Infrastructure Project. There was a question about the full costs of this project as the project just came to City Council in February. What is the true cost of this long range project. Why the continues staff reports asking for contract changes. Staff Response: Rudy Rosas has provided the following additional detail below for the history of the program. City Council awarded an AMI contract in November 2020. At that time, project funding was identified for certain fiscal years and it was noted that Staff recommended seeking debt financing to complete the project funding plan. In March of this year, the City Council approved an Appropriation Adjustment adding funds for FY 23/24 to the capital project (this did not increase the contract award amount). Council recently approved the issuance of water bonds. This action allows staff to recognize water bond proceeds and allocate to this project as originally planned as well as increase the contract capacity in order to account for some field change order directives due to unanticipated conditions as well as maintain a robust contingency for future unanticipated issues that may arise as we continue meter deployment. Agenda Item # 17 – Change Order for First Street Underpass Sidewalk Widening. There was a question about why meeting ADA compliance is a change order and why the PWA didn’t incorporate ADA accessibility into the original plans and specifications. 2
