The replacement of the filter <br /> media material will also slightly increase the plant's production capacity. <br /> It was decided by Department of Public Works staff that, given the time constraints for <br /> completing the project, staff could not commit to complete the design and specifications for the <br /> project. It was decided to shortlist consultants considered capable of providing the necessary <br /> professional services.

The four firms asked to submit, listed in alphabetical order, were: <br /> Bainbridge, Gee, Milanski & Associates <br /> Black& Veatch <br /> Blank, Wesselink, Cook& Associates, Inc. <br /> WVP Corporation <br /> Two of the four firms responded to the City's request. The two firms were Bainbrid�e, Gee, <br /> Milanski & Associates (BGM) and Black& Veatch. The proposals were reviewed by members of <br /> the Water Production and Engineering Divisions. BGM was selected as most qualified for the <br /> project. An Agreement for services between the City and BGM for this project has been <br /> prepared. A copy of the Agreement is attached. The services include the determination of the <br /> optimum filter media layer depths; inspection of the filters to assess additional items that need to <br /> be repaired or replaced; preparation of the project specifications; assistance to staff during the <br /> bidding and award process; and construction management.
