CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2026-3013
MEETING OF OCTOBER 6, 2026
TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THROUGH: Jennifer Walker, Chief of Staff
FROM: Tim Nyander, Utilities Director
SUBJECT: Garver, LLC - Amendment No. 3 for Noland Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility
Improvements
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Engineering Services Agreement with Garver, LLC in
the amount of $2,294,000.00 to continue engineering design of master plan recommended improvements to
the Noland Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF), and approval of a budget amendment.
BACKGROUND:
The City completed a year-long master planning effort at the end of 2024 for the Noland WRRF, one of two
wastewater treatment plants owned by the City of Fayetteville. This master plan, completed by Garver, took a
comprehensive and in-depth look at the facility’s performance and condition, both now and into the future. The
most immediate improvements recommended by the plan were facility/equipment replacements associated
with aging and deteriorating unit treatment processes, such as new/increased influent pumping, aeration
technology replacement, secondary clarifier rehab, headworks expansion, and tertiary filtration updates. The
Phase 1 improvements are anticipated to take 5 years to implement, with an estimated total cost of $98 million.
Resolution 117-25 was approved on May 6, 2025, and Garver was selected via RFQ 25-01, Selection #5 to
provide engineering design services for this project. Resolution 218-25 approved Amendment No. 1 on
October 7, 2025, which expanded the design scope to 30%. Resolution 98-26 approved Amendment No. 2 on
April 21, 2026, which expanded the design scope to 75% for all components of this project.
DISCUSSION:
Garver will soon be complete with 75% final design effort. Amendment No. 3 will expand the design scope to
the 100% milestone for all components of the project, including bidding and contract reviews. Future
amendments will be presented for construction administration and observation services.
The not-to-exceed fee for this Amendment No. 3 is $2,294,000.00.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
A budget amendment is attached to reimburse and restore funding to multiple Water/Sewer CIP projects that
were previously used to cover design costs for the Noland WWTP Improvements project.
This amendment is eligible for 2026 bond funding. Funds are available in the Noland Wastewater Treatment
Plant Upgrades, Bond Funding account.

THRU: Keith Macedo, Interim Chief of Staff
FROM: Tim Nyander, Utilities Director
SUBJECT: GARVER, LLC. (SERVICE AGREEMENT):
RECOMMENDATION:
CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2025-467
Staff recommends approval of an Engineering Services Agreement with Garver, LLC in an amount not to
exceed $303,704.00 for preliminary engineering design of master -plan recommended improvements to the
Noland Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF), pursuant to RFQ 25-01, Selection #5.
BACKGROUND:
The City completed a year -long master planning effort at the end of 2024 for the Noland WRRF, one of two
wastewater treatment plants owned by the City of Fayetteville. This master plan, completed by Garver, took a
comprehensive and in-depth look at the facility's performance and condition, both now and into the future. The
most immediate improvements recommended by the plan were facility/equipment replacements associated
with aging and deteriorating unit treatment processes such as new/increased influent pumping, aeration
technology replacement, secondary clarifier rehab, headworks expansion, and tertiary filtration technology
changes. The Phase 1 improvements are anticipated to take 5-years to implement, with an estimated total cost
of $80 million.
DISCUSSION:
The next step in this project is to move from master plan concepts to actual engineering designs, cost
estimates, and initial project delivery planning. Garver was selected (RFQ 25-01, Selection #5) to provide
these services. Although a large engineering effort will be needed for this project, this initial scope will progress
design on all proposed improvements to a 10% level to ensure there are no major conflicts with existing plant
elements or other proposed projects. This initial scope will also allow the city to determine best project delivery
methods and select/on-board a contractor to participate in the design.
The not -to -exceed estimated fee for this first phase of engineering scope is $303,704.00.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Funds are available in the WWTP Building Improvements account within the Water & Sewer fund.

Noland WRRF Improvements
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Engineering Services Agreement with Garver, LLC in
the amount of $1,921,700.00 for preliminary engineering design of master-plan recommended improvements
to the Noland Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF), and approval of a budget adjustment.
BACKGROUND:
The City completed a year-long master planning effort at the end of 2024 for the Noland WRRF, one of two
wastewater treatment plants owned by the City of Fayetteville. This master plan, completed by Garver, took a
comprehensive and in-depth look at the facility’s performance and condition, both now and into the future. The
most immediate improvements recommended by the plan were facility/equipment replacements associated
with aging and deteriorating unit treatment processes, such as new/increased influent pumping, aeration
technology replacement, secondary clarifier rehab, headworks expansion, and tertiary filtration technology
changes. The Phase 1 improvements are anticipated to take 5 years to implement, with an estimated total cost
of $98 million.
DISCUSSION:
Garver was selected (RFQ 25-01, Selection #5) to provide engineering design services for this project and will
soon be complete with 10% design effort. Amendment No. 1 will expand the design scope to the 30% level for
all components of the project. The not-to-exceed estimated fee for this amendment is $1,921,700.00.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Budgeted Funds will be moved from the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project to cover the cost of this item.
