DEPARTMENT OF WATER MANAGEMENT <br /> Memorandum No. 2001-05 <br /> � February 15, 2001 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Howley and City Council <br /> FROM: Steve Garman, City Manager <br /> John A. Smith, Assistant City Manager for Public Services <br /> Keith D. Alexander, Director of Water Management � <br /> Stephen P. Swanson, Director of Engineering & Infrastructure� <br /> SUBJECT: Amendments to Agreement for Engineering Services, Ion-Exchange Treatment <br /> Facility. <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Amendments to <br /> Agreement for Engineering Services with Black&Veatch. <br /> BACKGROUND: In October of 2000, City Council approved an Amendment for Engineering <br /> Services during the construction phase of the ion-exchange nitrate treatment facility. The <br /> agreement with Black & Veatch was based on a construction period of 12 months. The <br /> construction of the ion-exchange facility will take a total of 16 months instead of 12. Therefore, <br /> Black & Veatch seeks an increase of$59,571 to the contract for engineering services. New total <br /> cost for engineering services is a not-to-exceed amount $584,500. If the project is completed <br /> sooner, the amount will be less than this. This is covered in Amendment No. 2. <br /> Amendment No. 3 contains language required b� the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency <br /> to qualify for the low interest loan for construction of the facility. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: None. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The State of Illinois requires an agreement for <br /> construction engineering services before the City is approved for a low-interest loan. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: John A. Smith, Assistant City Manager for Public Services. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> Attach: 3 <br />
