Resolution authorizing the mayor to execute an agreement with HGM Associates Inc. for engineering services in connection with the Kanesville Sanitary Sewer Extension.  Project # PW24-21

It is anticipated that future commercial developments near the I-80 Interchange at Kanesville Boulevard will require sewer improvements. 

The proposed sewer would tie into the existing sanitary sewer on the west side of the BNSF railroad tracks south of Kanesville Boulevard and extend to as far as Hunt Avenue to the east with an emphasis on serving the open ground at the southwest and northeast quadrants of the I-80 Interchange.  The exact limits of the project will be determined during the project scoping phase.

The project was included in the FY24 CIP with a preliminary project budget of $2,000,000.  The sewer project will not proceed to final design and construction until specific sewer demands are known and private development projects are moving forward.

Four firms from the City’s pre-qualified consultant list were asked to submit their qualifications for providing engineering services for the project.  Three 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. 

HGM Associates Inc. 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 completed projects in the area, and the qualified staff available to dedicate to the project.  They have already reviewed sewer expansions for IWCC and the neighboring properties and can leverage this experience for the benefit of the project.

Approval of this resolution to enter into an agreement with HGM Associates for engineering services.
