BACKGROUND:
In 2024, after four phases of demolition projects, Water Reclamation Facility No. 1 (WRF#1) was completely decommissioned. Currently the Water Resources Central Maintenance Division office is located at the old WRF#1 site. The Central Lines Division will be relocated to the former WRF#1 site and establish a Utility Maintenance Complex. The Central Lines division is currently located in the Water Resources Administration building along with the Water Resources Administration, Engineering and Consumptive Water Metering divisions. The planned move will collocate the water resource maintenance functions.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
Task Work Order No. 3 is for Architecture Studio, Inc. to design and permit the new Water Resources Utility Maintenance Complex. The complex will consist of multiple buildings and sheds to facilitate the operations of the Water Resources utility maintenance divisions.
The Engineering Department also anticipates that an additional $500,000 in expenditure authority will be necessary to cover current and future Task Work Orders under the Continuing Architectural Services Agreement for Architecture Studio, Inc. (Contract No. ENG/250519) for the remainder of the three-year term, resulting in a total aggregate expenditure threshold of $750,000.
Staff recommends approval.
