Agenda Item Brief: TMWRF staff is asking the City Council to approve reimbursement to the City of Reno in the amount of up to $93,670.82 for its share of a not to exceed $298,600.00 contract administered by the City of Reno with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. for construction management services during the septage receiving project construction.
Background: The Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility (TMWRF) serves as the primary facility to receive and treat septage within the region. The current facility, constructed in 1983, has exceeded its anticipated service life and has deteriorated to the point that it is no longer capable of accepting septage. Due to the condition of the current facility, a temporary septage discharge station with limited treatment is now being used to discharge septage to headworks. In addition, the current septage facility has been reconfigured to offload and handle the by-products of Hidden Valley Ranch. A contract with Geney/Gassiot, Inc. in the amount of $2,091,200.00 for construction of the new septage receiving facility is being considered under a separate agenda item. This project is in the adopted 5-year CIP for TMWRF.
Analysis: This consultant contract with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. is for the construction management services that are needed during the construction process. Services will include review of contractor submittals, responding to requests for information and field change clarifications, assist in the preparation and review of change orders, preparing and processing payment applications and conducting regularly scheduled project coordination meetings, on-site meetings and field visits. The City of Reno will administer the contract and will be reimbursed for a portion of the costs by the City of Sparks through the Sparks – Reno cost sharing agreement for TMWRF. The City of Reno and the City of Sparks share the cost for this project based upon their ownership of TMWRF, which is 68.63% for Reno and 31.37% for Sparks. Based on the ownership percentages, Reno’s share is up to $204,929.18 and Sparks share is up to $93,670.82.
Alternatives: Council could direct the City Manager to have staff provide other alternatives.
Recommended Motion: I move to approve that Council award the approval of reimbursement to the City of Reno for Sparks’ share of the construction of a new septage receiving facility in the amount of $93,670.82.
