Since its construction in the 1960s, the sewer lift station has been a <br />robust asset, but is nearing the end of its useful life and is in need of major capital investment to <br />improve the facility and leverage modern technologies. Engineering plans and supporting <br />documentation for the construction of a new sewer lift station have been developed. However, due to <br />environmental issues and legal challenges the project has been significantly delayed. The City has <br />completed an environmental impact review (EIR) to mitigate all environmental issues and has <br />resolved all legal challenges, enabling the project to move forward. <br />On June 20, 2005, having completed a Request for Proposals (RFP) process, Council awarded a <br />contract to Tetra Tech, Inc., to prepare plans, specifications, and estimates for the construction of the <br />new sewer lift station. Although the consultant completed a significant portion of the project design, <br />due to the previously mentioned delays, the contract expired. Therefore a new contract is necessary <br />to finish the sewer lift station improvement plans and specifications, updated with the latest building <br />codes and the requirements from the EIR; and to provide on -going technical support necessary for <br />the duration of the construction period. <br />The savings from the design and technical support services that were not completed under the <br />expired contract are being carried over onto the new contract. <br />25F -1 <br />
