Proposed Committee Motion:
I move to recommend to City Council approval of an Ordinance approving Modification No. 4 to an Agreement for Professional Engineering Services for Stormwater Improvements - Phase 2 (RFQ No. 543-32272), between the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, and Lamp Rynearson, for an increase of $39,700 for the amended basic services, with an amended not to exceed amount of $355,400, and authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for the same.
Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for a second reading of an Ordinance approving Modification No. 4 to an Agreement for Professional Engineering Services for Stormwater Improvements - Phase 2 (RFQ No. 543-32272), between the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, and Lamp Rynearson, for an increase of $39,700 for the amended basic services, with an amended not to exceed amount of $355,400, and authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for the same.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of an Ordinance approving Modification No. 4 to an Agreement for Professional Engineering Services for Stormwater Improvements - Phase 2 (RFQ No. 543-32272), between the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, and Lamp Rynearson, for an increase of $39,700 for the amended basic services, with an amended not to exceed amount of $355,400, and authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for the same.
Background:
In February of 2019, staff issued a request for qualifications (RFQ 543-32272) to address flooding at 14 locations. Through a qualification-based selection process, Lamp Rynearson was one of four firms to design stormwater improvements at these locations. Following the initial list of projects, additional locations were identified by residents that suffered structural flooding caused by the lack of public infrastructure or failed public infrastructure.
Between July of 2019 and today, more residents have contacted City staff to report new locations of structural flooding. Residents were given the same direction as previous complaints. In order to have their location considered, a written statement must be submitted to the City, and the flooding should be related to failing public infrastructure or the lack of public infrastructure. In the Fall of 2020 the City added eight new locations to the list of potential stormwater projects. The City entered subsequent contract modifications with the qualified firms to expeditiously complete these projects. Please refer to the attached “Stormwater Projects Map - Fall 2020”.
One of the eight locations is at 314 NE Arlington Circle, which is associated with this contract modification. Approximately 500 feet from Arlington Circle, a stormwater inlet along Ash Street has failed. The connected pipe network is a mix of concrete and metal pipe, the inlet is undersized, the inlet top collapsed, and multiple pipes feed into one pipe.
The primary purpose of this modification is to extend design and survey efforts to replace the failed infrastructure on Ash Street, improve the connecting pipe system, and increase the amount of water collected into the pipes. The extended alignment will continue to the concrete channel located south of Ash Street as shown on the Additional Map (attached).
Impact/Analysis:
Approval of this contract modification will allow design work to continue and will not impact the current construction schedule.
Timeline:
Start Design: Winter 2021
Finish Design: Winter 2022
Construct: 2022 Construction Season
