AGENDA ITEM 8B <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: David Ahrens, City Engineer /Public Works Director <br />DATE: February 9, 1998 <br />TOPIC: Consideration of Professional Services Agreement with BRW, Inc. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Staff is requesting Council authorization to enter into a Professional Services <br />Agreement with BRW, Inc. BRW, Inc., is a multi- discipline engineering firm <br />providing civil engineering, environmental engineering, planning, and other <br />professional services. Staff has personal experience with both the municipal and <br />environmental engineering groups and has found them to be exceptional. <br />The City currently has a Professional Services Agreement with three engineering <br />firms (OSM, Inc., SEH, Inc., and TKDA, Inc.) with each providing excellent <br />service to the City. However, at times the amount of work or nature of the work <br />makes the addition of a fourth engineering firm desirable. BRW, Inc., has <br />completed previous work for the City, including wetland delineation reports for <br />the Village site and the Clearwater Creek Business Area and the Street <br />Reconstruction Program Report. The Street Reconstruction Program Report <br />was the basis to selecting the Lakes Addition neighborhood for street <br />reconstruction. In addition, BRW, Inc., is planned to prepare the Inflow and <br />Infiltration Study this year. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Return to staff for additional information. <br />2. Not enter into the Professional Services Agreement with BRW, Inc. <br />3. Adopt the following recommended motion: Authorize and direct the Mayor <br />and City Clerk to sign the Professional Services Agreement with BRW, Inc. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that Council adopt the above recommended motion <br />authorizing the City to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with BRW, <br />Inc. <br />
