SUBJECT: PROJECT NO. 7527 – RESOLUTION 26-17 - BUDGET AMENDMENT AND AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1 FOR CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
SERVICES
Background:
On July 15, 2025, City Council approved an agreement with Civiltec Engineering Inc. (“Civiltec”) in the amount of $64,084 to provide professional construction support services for the Sewage Lift Station Rehabilitation, City Project No. 7527 (“Project”) at Harvard Drive and Gridley Road.
These services include construction management, engineering support, and construction inspection. The Project consists of rehabilitating an existing sewer lift station, including installation of a temporary sewer bypass, removal and replacement of plug valves, swing check valves, submersible pumps, slide rail assemblies, ductile iron piping, construction of a new meter vault, and installation of a magnetic flow meter. Construction is anticipated to be completed by Summer 2026.
During initial construction activities, staff identified that the existing alarm system at the lift station is outdated and limited in functionality. To replace and upgrade the system, and to ensure compatibility with a future Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, additional design services are required.
On February 3, 2026, Civiltec submitted a proposal in an amount not to exceed $20,560 to provide professional engineering design services for the preparation of electrical plans and specifications. These improvements will enhance alarm and notification capabilities, increase the number of monitored alarm points, upgrade electrical components, and ensure compatibility with the City’s future SCADA system. This work is in addition to the consultant’s existing construction support services for the project. If approved, the design will be completed and implemented by Summer 2026.
