CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2024-439
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 3, 2024
TO: Mayor Jordan and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
FROM: Tim Nyander, Utilities Director
SUBJECT: McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc. – Amendment No. 4 for the West Water
Transmission Main Project
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 4 in an amount not to exceed $3,281,300.00 with McClelland
Consulting Engineers, Inc. for the West Water Transmission Main Project, and approval of a budget
adjustment.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Fayetteville owns and operates two parallel water transmission lines from Beaver Water District
(BWD) in Lowell that enter from the northeast corner of the City. These lines are a 36-inch pipe installed in
1967 and a 42-inch pipe installed in 1993. BWD intends to build a western water distribution point near HWY-
112 and the newly constructed Springdale Northern Bypass, HWY-612. This facility will supply a western water
transmission feed to all four customer cities, helping with hydraulics, critical redundancy, and overall utility
resiliency. Fayetteville’s 11.3-mile connection to the proposed BWD facility has been identified in water master
plans for many years, but the timeline was previously unknown.
In 2012, the City of Fayetteville hired McClelland Consulting Engineers (MCE) to establish a preliminary
alignment for a waterline along this western corridor (Res. 120-12) and begin easement acquisitions. The
contract was amended in 2021 (Res. 179-21) to increase funds for appraisals and acquisition support and
again in 2022 to bring the design up to 30% (Res. 200-22).
In July 2023 the Arkansas Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Division (ANRD) approved $85M of
low-interest rate funding through the state’s drinking water Revolving Loan Fund program. In July the City
conducted a formal Engineering Selection Committee meeting (RFQ 23-05) and selected Garney to provide
CMAR services for the project.
DISCUSSION:
Amendment No. 4 with McClelland will provide funding for critical construction-phase engineering services,
including project management and coordination, bidding phase services for final procurement packages,
construction surveying and layout services, construction administration, construction observation, certified
welding inspections, and materials testing. Each of these tasks is critical for quality assurance and quality
control of this pipeline. A detailed scope and fee narrative and schedule have been provided with the
amendment document.
This amendment consists of $3,281,300.00 in engineering services, increasing the total contract amount from

$2,993,425.00 to $6,274,725.00. Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 4 in the amount of
$3,281,300.00 to the Engineering Services Agreement with McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc. for
Construction Phase Services for the West Corridor Water Transmission Line Project.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
A budget adjustment is attached to move funds into the West Water Transmission Main - Capital Professional
Services account.
