L/ RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with PSOMAS for an
amount not to exceed $42,599 for the preparation of the City's 2005 Urban
Water Management Plan.
DISCUSSION
Urban water suppliers are required by the Urban Water Management Planning
Act (UWMP) to update and submit a plan to the Department of Water
Resources every five years. The UWMP requires water suppliers to
describe and evaluate sources of water supply, efficient uses of water,
demand management measures, implementation strategy and schedule, and
other relevant information and programs.
Requests for proposal to prepare the UWMP were sent to six engineering
firms. Five responses were received and evaluated on technical merit by
a three-member selection committee. All six firms received passing
scores of 70 or higher. Listed below are the top three scores and
proposed fees.
FIRM SCORE FEE
PSOMAS 90 $42,599
HDR Engineering 85 $42,300
Ergun Bakall Consulting Civil
Engineer 81 $24,870
Staff recommends that PSOMAS be retained for this project. They were the
top ranked firm based on technical merit, although did not provide the
lowest cost proposal. Their proposal demonstrated that the firm has
extensive experience with similar projects, a good understanding of the
project goals and objectives.
