City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Haggerton Utilities Committee FROM: Public Works Directo~ March 3, 2009 DATE: SUBJECT: Tukwila Pond Alum Injection & Aeration Project Project No: 03-PK10 Consultant Agreement for Final Design Services ISSUE Approve the Consultant Agreement for Final Design Services with Tetra Tech, Inc. BACKGROUND The Tukwila Pond Concept Plan, approved by Council in 2006, called for improvements to water quality as well as wildlife habitat and public amenities. In 2007, Tetra Tech was approved under Contract No. 07-086 to perform lake management evaluation and preliminary design services. This contract resulted in the design of an alum injection and aeration system to remove phosphorus, increase oxygen content, and reduce algal blooms in the pond. Tetra Tech's existing contract has expired and cannot be supplemented; therefore, a new contract for final design services has been drafted. ANAL YSIS The new agreement will provide final plans, technical specifications, permits and bidding support for $27,998.00. City staff will apply for permits and package the documents for bidding. The proposed scope and fee for final design services is reasonable and within the budget of $181,000.00. The remaining budget will be used for park improvements. Construction is proposed for 2009 and the alum injection and aeration system will include installation of an underground storage tank, pumps and distribution lines. The system will release small doses of alum from May through October when the phosphorus levels are highest. RECOMMENDATION Approve the contract with Tetra Tech, Inc. in the amount of $27,998.00 for the Tukwila Pond Project and consider this item at the March 23, 2009 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent April 6, 2009 Regular meeting.
