MEETING OF MAY 6, 2014
TO: Mayor and City Council
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
FROM: Billy Ammons, Wastewater Treatment A�4
DATE: April 18, 2014
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment # 5 with CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. to add Utility
Engineering Services for June through December 2014 to their existing contract for operation,
maintenance, management and engineering services, increasing the total contract value by
$80,632 for 2014 from $7,441,428 to $7,522,060.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Administration recommends approval of Contract Amendment # 5 with CH21V! HILL
Engineers, Inc. to add Utility Engineering Services for June through December 2014 to their
existing contract for operation, maintenance, management and engineering services, increasing
the total contract value by $80.632 for 2014 from $7,441,428 to $7,522,060.
BACKGROUND:
Amendment # 5 with CH21VI HILL Engineers, Inc. for $7,522,060 for 2014 for operation,
maintenance, management and engineering services for the City's wastewater treatment
facilities and systems is attached. When the original Noland WWTP upgrade was completed in
1987, the City contracted with OMI (now CH21V1 HILL) for wastewater treatment services. The
scope of services provided by CH2M HILL include: (1) operate and maintain the Noland and
West Side Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP); (2) operate and/or maintain 43 wastewater
pump station sites; (3) administer the City's NPDES discharge, air, stormwater, and other
permits; (4) manage the City's biosolids disposal program; (5) manage the City's industrial
pretreatment program; (6) support the SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition system)
network that monitors water and wastewater facilities; (7) pursue operation economies,
efficiencies, and permit compliance; and (8) participate in the construction and post -construction
work of the Wastewater System Improvement Project (WSIP). In late 2009, the City underwent
a rigorous selection process with three competitive proposals. The selection committee
selected CH2M HILL for a five year contract, which expires December 31, 2014.
Contract amendment # 5 updates the scope of services from the 2014 contract amendment, by
increasing the overall scope of the contract to cover utility engineering services. To encourage
cost saving operations, the contract contains an incentive provision whereby budget savings are
distributed 87.5% to the City and 12.5% to CH21VI HILL. Contract amendment # 5 reflects an
$80,632 cost increase from the previously approved 2014 amendment, primarily due to
increased labor costs associated with the increase in engineering services. Highlights of
changes are below:
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street WWW.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
1) Utility engineering services including design and development of specifications for the
proposed new ozone disinfection system for the Noland WWTF.
DISCUSSION:
The recent departure of the City's Utility Engineer, coupled with the departure of the City's Utility
Director, has helped to bring into focus the breadth and depth of support that the engineering
position has delivered to the overall Water and Wastewater Utility. It has become obvious that
the Utility Engineer position is critical to successful utility operations and long term planning and
maintaining qualified services from that position is clearly in the best interest of the citizens of
Fayetteville. Staff has come to the conclusion that having these services supported by the
resources available to CH21VI HILL will stabilize the delivery of those services. The contract
between the City and CH21VI HILL has included the option for engineering services since 2009.
The engineering services provided under that contract to date, however, have largely been
incidental to the operation and maintenance of the facilities for which CH21VI HILL has been
responsible. With the elevated level of support anticipated by Amendment # 5, CH21VI HILL will
place an engineer here at this project location, and will also support that engineer with
administrative services from within the existing project staff as well as provide supplemental
support from other CH21VI HILL locations on an as -needed basis. While the overall number of
hours worked in providing these services is not expected to substantially exceed the equivalent
of one full time person, which was the previous level of support provided to the overall Utility, it
is expected that the combination of these resources will provide a more robust level of support
than any one individual could. The Utility will of course still contract for the services of other
local and national consulting firms to provide the detailed engineering required for many of the
highly complex tasks faced by the Utility, as has been the practice for many years. The Utility
Engineer provided by CH21VI HILL will continue to facilitate the development and implementation
of those contracts as well as interface with many other groups and individuals within the City
organization on behalf of the Utility.
