Title
Authorizing the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute a Professional Services Agreement with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. for professional construction administration and inspection services during the construction of the Unit Well #15 PFAS Treatment Facility at 3900 E Washington Avenue (District 12).
...Body
WEREAS: Madison Water Utility (Utility) Unit Well #15 historically has been an important water supply source, delivering up to one billion gallons annually to northeast Madison including the East Washington Avenue corridor, however, due to elevated levels of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), the Utility shut down the well in March 2019; and
WEREAS: The Utility completed, in April 2021, a Feasibility Study for PFAS Treatment that concluded granular activated carbon or ion exchange would effectively eliminate PFAS from the treated water and, in June 2022, contracted with AECOM Technical Services, Inc, (AECOM) for professional engineering design services for a PFAS treatment facility, whose final design is near completion, and the next step is to execute a Professional Services Agreement for construction administration services; and
WHEREAS: The Utility completed a competitive process for construction-related services for which AECOM, a qualified design firm, demonstrated, through their proposal and cost estimate, a clear and thorough understanding of the project, required level of effort, associated challenges, and familiarity with the technical details and associated specifications; and where the continuity of effort with the design consultant will help streamline reviews and retain knowledge resources for ongoing project support; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and the City Clerk are authorized to execute a Professional Services Agreement not to exceed $248,800.00 with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. for professional construction administration and inspection services during construction of Unit Well #15 PFAS Treatment Facility at 3900 E Washington Avenue.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that amendments that do not exceed the Madison Water Utility's approved capital budget or the scope of the Construction Administration Services of the Unit Well #15 project as authorized by the Common Council may be executed by the Water Utility General Manager and City Finance Director and/or designee, and executed by AECOM Technical Services, Inc.
