Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement with Ehrhart Griffin & Associates for engineering services in connection with the South 23rd Street Sewer Rehab, Phase I.  Project # PW24-12

The South 23rd Street sanitary sewer is a collector sewer receiving flow from the area between 20th Street and 26th Street and from the I-29 south to 6th Avenue.  The trunk sewer is old, in poor condition, and needs to be replaced.

The existing street has poor drainage and areas of the pavement and curbs are deteriorated.  

The project will reconstruct South 23rd Street from approximately 3rd Avenue to 6th Avenue.  The exact limits of the Phase 1 project will be determined during design.

This project was included in the FY25 CIP and includes a budget of $700,000 in Local Option Sales Tax funds and $300,000 in sewer funds.

Four firms from the City’s pre-qualified consultant list were asked to submit their qualifications for providing engineering services for the project.  Four responses were received and reviewed by a three-person committee.  Each proposal was scored based on the team qualifications, past experience, project approach and understanding, and clarity, conciseness and organization of the proposal. 

Ehrhart Griffin & Associates was selected as the most qualified to perform the work for this project.  They have a clear understanding of the project with a history of similar projects, and the qualified staff available to dedicate to the project. 

Approval of this resolution to enter into an agreement with Ehrhart Griffin & Associates for engineering services.
