This agreement is for the seismic retrofit and exterior <br />coating design of the East and West Reservoirs. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On April 19, 2004, City Council approved an agreement with Harper and <br />Associates in the amount of $56,880 for the seismic retrofit and exterior <br />coating design of the City's East and West Reservoirs (Exhibit 1). In <br />September 2005, the City received a grant from the Federal Environmental <br />Protection Agency (E.P.A.) in the amount of $384,900, which is 550 of the <br />estimated construction cost for these improvements. <br />The final design has been on hold pending the E.P.A.'s review and <br />environmental study of the project sites. All documentation has now been <br />completed and staff anticipates final approval from the E.P.A. within the <br />next 60 days. <br />There are some revisions and modifications to the plans and <br />specifications that will need to be incorporated into the final design. <br />Staff recommends that Harper and Associates' design contract be increased <br />by $4,000 to provide for these design changes. This will bring the total <br />not to exceed contract amount to $60,880. <br />25D-1 <br />
