RUA and Consultant are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
The Parties entered into the Services Agreement for engineering and as-needed support services on the 13th of April 2021 (the “Agreement”).
A First Amendment was executed on the 8th of February 2022, and a Second Amendment executed on the 13th of September the same year.
The Parties mutually desire to amend the Agreement to provide additional support for as-needed consulting, development of a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for the Foothill Specific Plan Update, and additional design services for the Rialto Habitat and Nature Center (RHNC), formally known as “Lake Rialto”.
OPERATIVE PROVISIONS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises set forth herein, the Parties do hereby enter into this Third Amendment which modifies and amends the Agreement as follows:
AMENDMENT. The Agreement is hereby modified and amended as follows:
Exhibit A is hereby amended to include the new scope of work for As-Needed Support, the Water Supply Assessment, and the Final Design of RHNC:
Scope of Work
The following tasks comprise the scope of work required for the respective projects outlined above.
Task 1: As-Needed Support - $200,000
Meeting Attendance, Coordination and On-Going Staff Support, Review of Reports and Statements,
Engineering Studies and Planning Support Services, and
Triennial Inspection Support Services.
This effort will be charged on a time and materials hourly basis, with support to be utilized at the request of the City. Any non-utilized support will not be billed to the City.
Task 2: Development of a Water Supply Assessment for the Foothill Central Specific Plan - $66,470 City staff requested that Dopudja Wells Consulting develop a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) in accordance with Senate Bill 610 (SB 610) and related provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act for the Rialto Foothill Central Specific Plan Update. The services to develop this WSA will consist of:
Identify Existing and Future Water Supplies for the proposed Specific Plan Update, Establish Current and Determine Future Water Demands,
Perform Water Supply Analysis,
Develop a Water Supply Assessment Report for the Specific Plan Update, and Project Control.
Task 3. Rialto Habitat Nature Center Supplemental Design Services – $488,411 Below is a list of additional tasks required to complete the design of the Rialto habitat nature Center.
Addition of a soil retention wall to create space for a community center building and construction of the proposed IEUA recycled water pump station. A portion of this revision will be reimbursed by IEUA to accommodate their pump station facility.
Plan additions for the proposed community center building, IEUA recycled water pump station, and Southern California Edison site access conditions. Including additional design services associated with geotechnical, site improvements, planting and irrigation plans. A portion of this revision will be reimbursed by IEUA to accommodate their pump station facility.
Perform additional survey and topographical services as necessary for the proposed plan additions. A portion of this revision will be reimbursed by IEUA to accommodate their pump station facility.
Additional design services to create accessible public parking from Agua Mansa complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Include an optional task to develop plans for accessible public parking from Santa Ana Avenue. Refer to Task 2 for additional information.
Prepare a hydrology study to quantify estimated runoff into the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and associated project area.
Using findings from the hydrology study, prepare a Preliminary Design Report (PDR) to identify recommended upgrades to the two existing onsite stormwater pump stations.
Update the preliminary design for the proposed Lake Rialto discharge pump station and update site improvement plans based on the proposed recommendations.
Due to the increased number of anticipated operational scenarios for the operations of the lake (normal, draining, storm events, pulse flows, etc.), the proposed package pump station will have more complex operational circumstances than originally anticipated. An updated preliminary design is required to address these scenarios. Additionally, the original location of the proposed package pump station, near the Rialto channel poses hydraulic challenges, due to the elevation compared to the water surface elevation of the wetland. The revised preliminary design will cover the updated hydraulics and relocation of the pump station. Final specification and design of the package pump station will follow.
Additional design services to construct three groundwater monitoring wells as recommended by the geotechnical exploration and review report, January 16, 2023. The proposed wells will monitor surrounding groundwater elevation near the eastern basin to actively manage against any slope stability issues.
Additional project management.
