the time the Bond proposal anticipated an issuance of $27M, due to record-setting low interest rates at the time of the bond sale (January 2021), the annual projected debt service funded an issuance of $52M, an addition of $25M dollars earmarked for investment in the drinking water system infrastructure for the long term benefit of system reliability for customers. Specialized design and consultant work is a prerequisite to developing the scope and framework for the resulting construction projects. The Bond Issuance requires a minimum of 80% of bond funds be spent within three (3) years. Current staffing levels in Water Engineering are not sufficient to support this requirement while managing the existing workload.

In order to meet the current and anticipated needs for the Water Department’s Capital Improvement Projects which will be funded through the Bond Issuance, as well as emerging critical maintenance needs, City staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) asking that qualified consultants submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) demonstrating their ability to perform the following services as related specifically to the Water industry in the following major categories:
 Program/Project Management
 Pipeline Design
 Pump Station and Tank Studies, Assessments, and Design  Water Treatment Plant Studies, Assessments, and Design  Earthen Dams and Associated Geotechnical and Structural Engineering  Hydrology Evaluations
 Water Distribution System Hydraulic Modeling
 Electrical Engineering
 Water Resources Management
 Environmental Permitting, CEQA and Restoration
 Construction Management
 Telecommunication Services
The RFQ for On-Call Water Engineering Consulting was released on July 12, 2021. Twentythree proposals were submitted by the due date of August 9, 2021. Staff reviewed the SOQs and ranked each firm by scoring them based on the following criteria as listed in the RFQ:
 Firm’s relevant experience and familiarity with issues applicable to the City’s needs. (50%)  Qualifications of the firm and assigned individuals. (25%)  Fee structure and cost-effectiveness of the consultants. (15%)  Reference checks. (10%)
Due to the extensive responsibilities of the Water Department Engineering team and bond obligations, the firms represented by each of the contracts included with this staff report were selected to best meet those needs. These firms possess various requested areas of expertise as set forth in each contract, Date: March 22, 2022

have recent experience handling on-call services for municipalities, are available to commence services immediately, and have resources and staffing to complete assignments on a timely basis.

Each of the firms have been notified that they are being recommended for agreements in an amount not to exceed $500,000 annually over the initial four-year term of the contract. The specific scope of services, schedule, and cost of work will be defined on a statement of work basis. The statement of work will be signed by the Water Director and the consulting firm prior to beginning work.

Consolidated CM. proposed in the areas of Construction Management and will be awarded a Consultant and Professional Agreement. A Design Professional Agreement is an agreement for consultants to provide the design and specifications required for a capital project. A Consultant and Professional Agreement covers a similar range of consulting services, such as guidance, plan review, feasibility studies, and planning studies.

However, it does not include design criteria.

Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements with Consolidated CM. This action will authorize the City Manager to execute agreements that will establish a pool of professional consultants under contract with the City through June 30, 2026, with an option to extend agreements for one year.

FISCAL IMPACT
This proposed action will not have any direct impact on the General Fund. Funds to pay each firm for asneeded consultant services in an amount not to exceed $500,000 annually over the initial four-year term contract will come from existing (and future) capital improvement project budgets within the Water Enterprise Fund based on allocated bond funding. The contracts also include a potential one-year extension in a not-toexceed amount of $500,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

Upon receipt of a notice of termination, Consultant shall perform no further work except as specified in the notice. Before the date of termination, Consultant shall deliver to City all City records and documents, all work product, whether completed or not, as of the date of termination and not otherwise previously delivered.

The City shall pay Consultant for services performed in accordance with this Agreement before the date of termination. If this contract provides for payment of a lump sum for all services or by task and termination occurs before completion of the work or any defined task which according to the performance schedule was commenced before the notice of termination, the fee for services performed shall be based on an amount mutually agreed to by City and Consultant for the portion of work completed in conformance with this Agreement before the date of termination.

The Consultant will provide as-needed services for City of Vallejo Water Department projects as assigned by Water Department staff, in written Statements of Work, executed by Consultant before commencement of work on the project. At the discretion of Water Department staff, and considering the capabilities of Consultant, assignments shall be given to Consultant in Construction Management, as more fully set forth in Attachment 1 to Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by this reference. City shall have no obligation to pay Consultant for any work performed by Consultant that is not set forth in this Agreement or in a Statement of Work.

Any substitutes shall be persons of comparable or superior expertise and experience. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section shall constitute a material breach of Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement and shall be grounds for termination.

Key personnel will be as identified in Statements of Work.

In mid-2021, the City expects to begin executing a prioritized list of projects identified in its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that will require immediate resources using several On-call Consultants. These projects will be varied and will require consulting firms with diverse and specialized skill sets. Other services, such as conceptual-level studies, may be needed to support executable design of the CIP. The anticipated service categories are listed below.

1. PROGRAM/PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Consultant will serve as an extension of staff and may provide overall program and project management for projects. Familiarity with Caltrans Projects and their Right of Way (ROW) Manual may be beneficial. The Consultant will schedule and conduct remote project meetings with staff and may be required to work at least two (2) days a week in the Water Department Engineering office located at 202 Fleming Hill Road, Vallejo, California, under COVID-19 provisions for Solano County.

Potential projects include:
• Overseeing another consultant preparing the design of a large diameter pipeline in an area outside the City requiring coordination with Napa County. • Review of developer plans as part of the developer review process. • Assistance with developing project schedules and budgeting for CIP projects.
• Assist with the planning and implementation of a Water Exchange Policy and/or water supply agreements with neighboring municipalities. • Managing implementation of replacement of water meters across the service area.

COMMERCIAL EXCESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
Various provisions in this policy restrict coverage. Read the entire policy carefully to determine rights, duties and what is and is not covered.

Throughout this policy the words "you" and "your" refer to the Named Insured shown in the Declarations, and any other person or organization qualifying as a Named Insured under this policy. The words "we," "us" and "our" refer to the company providing this insurance. The word "insured" means any person or organization qualifying as such under the "controlling underlying insurance." Other words and phrases that appear in quotation marks in this policy have special meaning. Refer to SECTION IV – DEFINITIONS. Other words and phrases that are not defined under this policy but defined in the "controlling underlying insurance" will have the meaning described in the policy of "controlling underlying insurance."
The insurance provided under this policy will follow the same provisions, exclusions and limitations that are contained in the applicable "controlling underlying insurance," unless otherwise directed by this insurance. To the extent such provisions differ or conflict, the provisions of this policy will apply. However, the coverage provided under this policy will not be broader than that provided by the applicable "controlling underlying insurance" and if coverage does not exist under any applicable “controlling underlying insurance,” coverage shall not exist under this policy.

There may be more than one "controlling underlying insurance" policy listed in the Declarations and there may be terms and provisions in those policies which are in conflict, and which are not superseded by the provisions of this policy. In such a case, the provisions, exclusions and limitations of the "controlling underlying insurance" policy applicable to the particular "event" for which a claim is made or suit is brought will apply.

SECTION I – COVERAGES

1. Insuring Agreement
a. We will pay on behalf of the insured the "ultimate net loss" in excess of the "retained limit" because of "injury or damage" to which insurance provided under this policy applies.

We will have the right and duty to defend the insured against any suit seeking damages for such "injury or damage" only when the applicable limits of "controlling underlying insurance" and the applicable limits of any other policy of insurance affording coverage for any aspect of the claims asserted in such suit have been exhausted in accordance with the provisions of such "controlling underlying insurance" or other policy of insurance, as the case may be.

When we have no duty to defend, we will have, at our discretion, the right to defend, or to participate in the defense of, the insured against any other suit seeking damages for "injury or damage."
However, we will have no duty to defend the insured against any suit seeking damages for which insurance under this policy does not apply.

At our discretion, we may investigate any "event" that may involve this insurance and settle any resultant claim or suit, for which we have the duty to defend.

But:
(1) The amount we will pay for "ultimate net loss" is limited as described in SECTION II – LIMITS OF INSURANCE; and
POLICY NUMBER: PUB789647
PIC-EXS-001 (05/13)

Page 2 of 12 ends

Includes copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with permission. (2) Our right and duty to defend ends when we have used up the applicable limit of insurance in the payment of judgments or settlements under this policy. However, if the policy of "controlling underlying insurance" specifies that limits are reduced by defense expenses, our right and duty to defend ends when we have used up the applicable limit of insurance in the payment of defense expenses, judgments or settlements under this policy.
b. This insurance applies to "injury or damage" that is subject to an applicable "retained limit." If any other limit, such as a sublimit, is specified in the "controlling underlying insurance," this insurance does not apply to "injury or damage" arising out of that exposure unless that limit is specified in the Declarations under the Schedule of "controlling underlying insurance." c. If the "controlling underlying insurance" requires, for a particular claim, that the "injury or damage" occur during its policy period in order for that coverage to apply, then this insurance will only apply to that "injury or damage" if it occurs during the policy period of this policy. If the "controlling underlying insurance" requires that the "event" causing the particular "injury or damage" takes place during its policy period in order for that coverage to apply, then this insurance will apply to the claim only if the "event" causing that "injury or damage" takes place during the policy period of this policy.
d. Any additional insured under any policy of "controlling underlying insurance" will automatically be an additional insured under this policy. If coverage provided to the additional insured is required by a contract or agreement, the most we will pay on behalf of the additional insured is the amount of insurance required by the contract, less any amounts payable by any "controlling underlying insurance." Additional insured coverage provided by this insurance will not be broader than coverage provided by the "controlling underlying insurance." e. This insurance applies to "injury or damage" only if, prior to the policy period, no insured listed under the WHO IS AN INSURED Section in any "controlling underlying insurance" and no employee authorized by you to give or receive notice of an occurrence or claim, knew that the "injury or damage" had occurred, in whole or in part. If such a listed insured or authorized employee knew, prior to the policy period, that the "injury or damage" occurred, then any continuation, change or resumption of such "injury or damage" during or after the policy period will be deemed to have been known prior to the policy period. f. "Injury or damage" which occurs during the policy period and was not, prior to the policy period, known to have occurred by any insured listed under the WHO IS AN INSURED Section in any "controlling underlying insurance," or by any employee authorized by you to give or receive notice of an occurrence or claim, includes any continuation, change or resumption of that "injury or damage" after the end of the policy period. g. "Injury or damage" will be deemed to have been known to have occurred at the earliest time when any insured listed under the WHO IS AN INSURED Section in any "controlling underlying insurance" or any employee authorized by you to give or receive notice of an occurrence or claim:
(1) Reports all, or any part, of the "injury or damage" to us or any other insurer; (2) Receives a written or verbaldemand or claim for damages because of the "injury or damage"; or
(3) Becomes aware by any other means that "injury or damage" has occurred or has begun to occur.

CONSENT CALENDAR 8.EE.

DATE: March 22, 2022
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Beth Schoenberger, Acting Water Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING AN ON-CALL CONSULTANT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP, INC. FOR WATER

ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME IN A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $2 MILLION AND LIMITED TO $500,000 PER YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS AS PART OF THE CITY'S PROGRAM FOR

UPGRADING AND REPLACING OUTDATED CITY WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolution approving an on-call Consultant and Professional Services Agreement and a Design Professional Services Agreement with Interwest Consult Group, Inc. for water engineering services and design services and authorizing the City Manager to execute same in a total amount not-to-exceed $2 million for each contract and limited to $500,000 per year for four years as part of the City’s program for upgrading and replacing outdated City water infrastructure.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The ability to deploy consultants on an on-call, as-needed basis allows the Water Department to best manage the anticipated workload to deliver capital projects within the allotted time frame to address aging infrastructure and assure drinking water system reliability for customers.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Water Department anticipates using contract services of consultant firms to perform work on various water Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and water Engineering-related projects. This work will be variable in scope and may be short-term and/or long-term, depending upon the focus. As a practice, many cities enter into on-call agreements with consultant firms to assign work as needed. In addition, many cities choose to enter into on-call agreements with multiple firms in order to ensure that a consultant's workload issues will not get in the way of a city's critical-path needs, allow staff to best fit the expertise of a particular firm with specific needs of an assignment, and obtain competitive pricing.

Water’s Engineering staff are responsible for reviewing planning and development applications, assisting other divisions within the Water Department with maintenance requests, water conservation and resources planning management, inter-agency coordination, implementing grant programs and strategic planning, responding to customer service requests, and delivering the design and construction of Water’s CIP. When Vallejo's drinking water functions were transitioned into a standalone department, the need to tackle the aging infrastructure was identified as a top priority. A long-term financial plan was prepared, a new rate plan was unanimously approved by Council after an 18-month process of robust community engagement, with direction from the City Council Ad Hoc Water Rate Committee. The financial plan included a projected $27M bond issuance. The Bond Issuance was proposed due to the extensive maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement needs of the City’s aging drinking water infrastructure. In December 2020, after delays resulting from the pandemic, the City Council approved the Bond Issuance, wherein Water staff had identified a total of fifty-five (55) projects.

Date: March 22, 2022
Subject: ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING AN ON-CALL CONSULTANT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP, INC. FOR

WATER ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME IN A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $2 MILLION AND LIMITED TO $500,000 PER YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS AS PART OF

THE CITY'S PROGRAM FOR UPGRADING AND REPLACING OUTDATED CITY

WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

Thirty-five (35) of those projects are identified in the published Vallejo FY 2020-21 CIP Budget book. While at the time the Bond proposal anticipated an issuance of $27M, due to record-setting low interest rates at the time of the bond sale (January 2021), the annual projected debt service funded an issuance of $52M, an addition of $25M dollars earmarked for investment in the drinking water system infrastructure for the long term benefit of system reliability for customers. Specialized design and consultant work is a prerequisite to developing the scope and framework for the resulting construction projects. The Bond Issuance requires a minimum of 80% of bond funds be spent within three (3) years. Current staffing levels in Water Engineering are not sufficient to support this requirement while managing the existing workload.

In order to meet the current and anticipated needs for the Water Department’s Capital Improvement Projects which will be funded through the Bond Issuance, as well as emerging critical maintenance needs, City staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) asking that qualified consultants submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) demonstrating their ability to perform the following services as related specifically to the Water industry in the following major categories:
 Program/Project Management
 Pipeline Design
 Pump Station and Tank Studies, Assessments, and Design  Water Treatment Plant Studies, Assessments, and Design  Earthen Dams and Associated Geotechnical and Structural Engineering  Hydrology Evaluations
 Water Distribution System Hydraulic Modeling
 Electrical Engineering
 Water Resources Management
 Environmental Permitting, CEQA and Restoration
 Construction Management
 Telecommunication Services
The RFQ for On-Call Water Engineering Consulting was released on July 12, 2021. Twentythree proposals were submitted by the due date of August 9, 2021. Staff reviewed the SOQs and ranked each firm by scoring them based on the following criteria as listed in the RFQ:
 Firm’s relevant experience and familiarity with issues applicable to the City’s needs. (50%)  Qualifications of the firm and assigned individuals. (25%)  Fee structure and cost-effectiveness of the consultants. (15%)  Reference checks. (10%)
Due to the extensive responsibilities of the Water Department Engineering team and bond obligations, the firms represented by each of the contracts included with this staff report were selected to best meet Date: March 22, 2022
Subject: ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING AN ON-CALL CONSULTANT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP, INC. FOR

those needs. These firms possess various requested areas of expertise as set forth in each contract, have recent experience handling on-call services for municipalities, are available to commence services immediately, and have resources and staffing to complete assignments on a timely basis.

Each of the firms have been notified that they are being recommended for agreements in an amount not to exceed $500,000 annually over the initial four-year term of the contract. The specific scope of services, schedule, and cost of work will be defined on a statement of work basis. The statement of work will be signed by the Water Director and the consulting firm prior to beginning work.

Interwest Consulting Group, Inc. proposed in the areas of Program/Project Management and Water Resources Management and will be awarded a Consultant and Professional Agreement. A Consultant and Professional Agreement covers a range of consulting services, such as guidance, plan review, feasibility studies, and planning studies. However, it does not include design criteria.

Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements with Interwest Consulting Group Inc.

This action will authorize the City Manager to execute agreements that will establish a pool of professional consultants under contract with the City through June 30, 2026, with an option to extend agreements for one year.

FISCAL IMPACT
This proposed action will not have any direct impact on the General Fund. Funds to pay each firm for asneeded consultant services in an amount not to exceed $500,000 annually over the initial four-year term contract will come from existing (and future) capital improvement project budgets within the Water Enterprise Fund based on allocated bond funding. The contracts also include a potential one-year extension in a not-toexceed amount of $500,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

Before the date of termination, Consultant shall deliver to City all City records and documents, all work product, whether completed or not, as of the date of termination and not otherwise previously delivered.

SERVICES AGREEMENT AND A DESIGN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH WEST YOST ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR WATER ENGINEERING SERVICES AND

DESIGN SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME IN A TOTAL AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $2 MILLION FOR EACH CONTRACT AND LIMITED TO $500,000 PER YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS AS PART OF THE CITY’S

PROGRAM FOR UPGRADING AND REPLACING OUTDATED CITY WATER

INFRASTRUCTURE

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolution approving an on-call Consultant and Professional Services Agreement and a Design Professional Services Agreement with West Yost Associates, Inc. for water engineering services and design services and authorizing the City Manager to execute same in a total amount not-to-exceed $2 million for each contract and limited to $500,000 per year for four years as part of the City’s program for upgrading and replacing outdated City water infrastructure.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The ability to deploy consultants on an on-call, as-needed basis allows the Water Department to best manage the anticipated workload to deliver capital projects within the allotted time frame to address aging infrastructure and assure drinking water system reliability for customers.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Water Department anticipates using contract services of consultant firms to perform work on various water Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and water Engineering-related projects. This work will be variable in scope and may be short-term and/or long-term, depending upon the focus. As a practice, many cities enter into on-call agreements with consultant firms to assign work as needed. In addition, many cities choose to enter into on-call agreements with multiple firms in order to ensure that a consultant's workload issues will not get in the way of a city's critical-path needs, allow staff to best fit the expertise of a particular firm with specific needs of an assignment, and obtain competitive pricing.

Water’s Engineering staff are responsible for reviewing planning and development applications, assisting other divisions within the Water Department with maintenance requests, water conservation and resources planning management, inter-agency coordination, implementing grant programs and strategic planning, responding to customer service requests, and delivering the design and construction of Water’s CIP. When Vallejo's drinking water functions were transitioned into a standalone department, the need to tackle the aging infrastructure was identified as a top priority. A long-term financial plan was prepared, a new rate plan was unanimously approved by Council after an 18-month process of robust community engagement, with direction from the City Council Ad Hoc Water Rate Committee. The financial plan included a projected $27M bond issuance. The Bond Issuance was proposed due to the extensive maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement needs of the City’s aging drinking water infrastructure. In December 2020, after delays Date: March 22, 2022

WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

resulting from the pandemic, the City Council approved the Bond Issuance, wherein Water staff had identified a total of fifty-five (55) projects.

Thirty-five (35) of those projects are identified in the published Vallejo FY 2020-21 CIP Budget book. While at the time the Bond proposal anticipated an issuance of $27M, due to record-setting low interest rates at the time of the bond sale (January 2021), the annual projected debt service funded an issuance of $52M, an addition of $25M dollars earmarked for investment in the drinking water system infrastructure for the long term benefit of system reliability for customers. Specialized design and consultant work is a prerequisite to developing the scope and framework for the resulting construction projects. The Bond Issuance requires a minimum of 80% of bond funds be spent within three (3) years. Current staffing levels in Water Engineering are not sufficient to support this requirement while managing the existing workload.

In order to meet the current and anticipated needs for the Water Department’s Capital Improvement Projects which will be funded through the Bond Issuance, as well as emerging critical maintenance needs, City staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) asking that qualified consultants submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) demonstrating their ability to perform the following services as related specifically to the Water industry in the following major categories:
 Program/Project Management
 Pipeline Design
 Pump Station and Tank Studies, Assessments, and Design  Water Treatment Plant Studies, Assessments, and Design  Earthen Dams and Associated Geotechnical and Structural Engineering  Hydrology Evaluations
 Water Distribution System Hydraulic Modeling
 Electrical Engineering
 Water Resources Management
 Environmental Permitting, CEQA and Restoration
 Construction Management
 Telecommunication Services
The RFQ for On-Call Water Engineering Consulting was released on July 12, 2021. Twentythree proposals were submitted by the due date of August 9, 2021. Staff reviewed the SOQs and ranked each firm by scoring them based on the following criteria as listed in the RFQ:
 Firm’s relevant experience and familiarity with issues applicable to the City’s needs. (50%)  Qualifications of the firm and assigned individuals. (25%)  Fee structure and cost-effectiveness of the consultants. (15%) Date: March 22, 2022

 Reference checks. (10%)
Due to the extensive responsibilities of the Water Department Engineering team and bond obligations, the firms represented by each of the contracts included with this staff report were selected to best meet those needs. These firms possess various requested areas of expertise as set forth in each contract, have recent experience handling on-call services for municipalities, are available to commence services immediately, and have resources and staffing to complete assignments on a timely basis.

Each of the firms have been notified that they are being recommended for agreements in an amount not to exceed $500,000 annually over the initial four-year term of the contract. The specific scope of services, schedule, and cost of work will be defined on a statement of work basis. The statement of work will be signed by the Water Director and the consulting firm prior to beginning work.

West Yost Associate, Inc. proposed in the areas of Program/Project Management; Water Distribution System Hydraulic Modeling; Water Resources Management; and Construction Management; Pipeline Design; Pump Station, Tank Studies, Assessments, & Design; and Water Treatment Plant Studies, Assessments & Design and will be awarded both a Design Professional Agreement and a Consultant and Professional Agreement. A Design Professional Agreement is an agreement for consultants to provide the design and specifications required for a capital project. A Consultant and Professional Agreement covers a similar range of consulting services, such as guidance, plan review, feasibility studies, and planning studies. However, it does not include design criteria.

Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements West Yost Associate, Inc. This action will authorize the City Manager to execute agreements that will establish a pool of professional consultants under contract with the City through June 30, 2026, with an option to extend agreements for one year.

FISCAL IMPACT
This proposed action will not have any direct impact on the General Fund. Funds to pay each firm for asneeded consultant services in an amount not to exceed $500,000 annually over the initial four-year term contract will come from existing (and future) capital improvement project budgets within the Water Enterprise Fund based on allocated bond funding. The contracts also include a potential one-year extension in a not-toexceed amount of $500,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

CONSENT CALENDAR 8.GG.

DATE: March 22, 2022
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Beth Schoenberger, Acting Water Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING AN ON-CALL CONSULTANT AND PROFESSIONAL

SERVICES AGREEMENT AND A DESIGN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH GHD, INC. FOR WATER ENGINEERING SERVICES AND DESIGN SERVICES AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME IN A TOTAL AMOUNT NOTTO-EXCEED $2 MILLION AND LIMITED TO $500,000 PER YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS AS PART OF THE CITY’S PROGRAM FOR UPGRADING AND REPLACING OUTDATED

CITY WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolution approving an on-call Consultant and Professional Services Agreement and a Design Professional Services Agreement with GHD, Inc. for water engineering services and design services and authorizing the City Manager to execute same in a total amount not-to-exceed $2 million for each contract and limited to $500,000 per year for four years as part of the City’s program for upgrading and replacing outdated City water infrastructure.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The ability to deploy consultants on an on-call, as-needed basis allows the Water Department to best manage the anticipated workload to deliver capital projects within the allotted time frame to address aging infrastructure and assure drinking water system reliability for customers.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Water Department anticipates using contract services of consultant firms to perform work on various water Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and water Engineering-related projects. This work will be variable in scope and may be short-term and/or long-term, depending upon the focus. As a practice, many cities enter into on-call agreements with consultant firms to assign work as needed. In addition, many cities choose to enter into on-call agreements with multiple firms in order to ensure that a consultant's workload issues will not get in the way of a city's critical-path needs, allow staff to best fit the expertise of a particular firm with specific needs of an assignment, and obtain competitive pricing.

Water’s Engineering staff are responsible for reviewing planning and development applications, assisting other divisions within the Water Department with maintenance requests, water conservation and resources planning management, inter-agency coordination, implementing grant programs and strategic planning, responding to customer service requests, and delivering the design and construction of Water’s CIP. When Vallejo's drinking water functions were transitioned into a standalone department, the need to tackle the aging infrastructure was identified as a top priority.
