Stormwater Utility Planning and Implementation Consultant Contract Amendment
Body
Date of BOCC Meeting: October 14, 2019
Request for Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the amendment of the Consultant Contract with WK Dickson for the Stormwater Utility Planning and Implementation Project from $185,000 to $225,000.
In April 2019, the Board of Commissioners approved a consultant contract with WK Dickson to assist the County in planning and implementing a stormwater utility to meet the funding needs of the County’s compliance with the Falls Lake and Jordan Lake Nutrient Management Strategy Rules. Work on this project began in May 2019. During the preliminary work, it was determined that additional impervious surface data was necessary to more accurately develop the final utility rate structure. Raftelis, a subcontractor of WK Dickson, was able to conduct the data collection and provide it for the utility project at a cost of $40,000.
Funds for this amendment were accounted for in the FY21 budget, so no budget amendment is necessary to cover these costs.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This project aligns with Goal 4: Environmental Stewardship by creating a funding source for water quality improvement projects across the County.
Resource Persons: Ryan D. Eaves, PE, Stormwater and Erosion Control Division Manager; McKenzie Gentry, Stormwater Manager; Jay Gibson, PE, General Manager; Tom Murray, WK Dickson; Keith Readling, Raftelis
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board approves the contract amendment as requested.
