Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with PSOMAS, Inc., to
provide design engineering services for Well No. 29 Rehabilitation, for a three-year period from December

DISCUSSION
Well No. 29, located at the intersection of Flower and First Street (Exhibit 1), was first constructed in the
1980s. It is one of the three wells feeding the Walnut Pump Station and is the primary water source for
the City's downtown. However, this well has been inactive for the last year, the result of a traffic accident
which impacted the chlorination system unit onsite and damaged other well appurtenances. Additionally,
this site currently possesses ingress and egress challenges to maintenance personnel accessing the site
for their daily maintenance and operations.
Staff is recommending to rehabilitate the well and the site to include the following improvements: new
electrical, mechanical, and system controls equipment; new block building to protect the equipment from
the elements; and site accessibility improvements, while maintaining harmonious cohesiveness with the
neighborhood. This project was included in the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) program for Fiscal
Year 2017-18.
On July 11, 2017, the Public Works Agency released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for engineering design
services for Well No. 29 Rehabilitation. The RFP was posted on the City's website, and qualified
consulting firms were notified. Four proposals were received and evaluated by a review committee from
the Public Works Agency. Each firm was rated according to its organization, credentials, resumes,
references, and fees to provide the required services. All four of the proposals received were responsive.
The following is the list of the firms and their respective proposal scores:
