Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Michael <br />Baker International to provide professional engineering services for a one -year term beginning <br />April 20, 2016, through April 20, 2017, with provision for two one -year term extensions <br />exercisable by the City Manager and the City Attorney, in an amount not to exceed $236,956 <br />over the life of the agreement, subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City <br />Manager and City Attorney. <br />2. Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing $150,000 in current year funds received <br />from fees collected and interest earned in the Local Drainage Area Fund 221, 222, and 223 <br />revenue accounts, and appropriating the same amount into the respective Local Drainage <br />Area Fund 221, 222, and 223 expenditure accounts. <br />DISCUSSION <br />An update to the Storm Drain Master Plan was completed in 2015. The updated master plan <br />recommends various below -grade improvements, such as the installation of new storm drain <br />pipes and upsizing existing storm drain pipes. Those recommended improvements provide for <br />the ultimate build -out of storm drains, offering citywide drainage protection. The cost for total <br />build -out is $626 million, which is not being considered at this time. <br />Staff is recommending a supplementary study which focuses on alleviating flooding in localized <br />watersheds. The additional analysis would identify alternative infrastructure consisting of low <br />impact development alternatives to costly storm drain improvements. It is anticipated that such a <br />study would provide a menu of improvements, technology, and devices which could be applied <br />citywide at a reduced cost. Staff would then pursue grant opportunities for these alternative <br />improvements to supplement the existing below -grade storm drain system where feasible. <br />20C -1 <br />
