Title
CONSIDER AN AWARD OF A CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT TO CRAFTWATER ENGINEERING FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES TO DESIGN PROJECT NO. 1776: CALAS PARK STORMWATER AND WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
In early 2023, the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (Sanitation District) contacted the City with an opportunity to put potential civil liability fines towards a stormwater project which would benefit the City and its residents by capturing polluted stormwater, cleaning it, and reusing or injecting it into the groundwater table while improving the park. The project is planned to divert stormwater from drains surrounding Calas Park, treat the water, and store it underground to be potentially reused as cleaner water.
Throughout the year, the City worked with the Sanitation District to move this project forward, culminating in an Administrative Civil Liability (ACL) order from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board in the amount of $5,980,000.00 to be used towards construction of the Calas Park Stormwater and Water Quality Improvements Supplemental Environmental Project. In February 2024, the City signed off and entered into an escrow agreement with the Sanitation District to execute this project (Exhibit No. 1).
On March 14, 2024, the City issued Request for Proposals No. 24-002 for design and engineering services (Exhibit No. 2). Five proposals were received, and staff determined Craftwater Engineering, Inc. to be the most qualified and responsible party with a total not-to-exceed amount of $719,942.00. Staff is requesting that the City Council award a Contract Services Agreement to Craftwater Engineering, Inc. (Exhibit No. 3), to perform the needed design engineering services for $719,942.00
