RE: Engineering Service Agreement Amendment No.1 Wastewater Treatment Plant Pumping
& Meter Stations SCADA Upgrade Project 09 -19 Strand Associates (Strand)
In June of 2009, an engineering services agreement was awarded to Strand for the design, bidding, and
construction services for upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment Plant Remote Telemetry system. This
system provides operating status information from the wastewater pumping stations to the Wastewater
Treatment Plant. This system is being converted from a telephone dial up system to a more reliable radio
communication system.
Additional services were required during construction to review changes necessary due to technology
upgrades in programmable logic controllers, requested changes to electric panels, revision to radio tower
location to utilize alternate installation on an adjacent building, and upgrades to the light poles used for
antenna mounts to improve the esthetics in residential neighborhood areas.
The original agreement was in the amount of $166,000.00. The amendment is for $12,000.00 which
brings the total for engineering services to $178,000.00. This project is funded through the Capital
Improvements Program (Wastewater Utility Fund). Funding for these services are available in this
account.
Section 12- 10(D)(5) of the Municipal Code provides that professional services of a specialized nature,
including engineering services, may be approved by the City Manger without the use of formal sealed
quotes. In accordance with 12 -10(E) of the Code, I am hereby submitting this report regarding this
engineering services contract.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this contract amendment
