SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, May 26, 1994
ITEM: 10J. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an
engineering contract for the 30" Raw Water Line.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Seven Engineering firms were asked to present their qualifications for the design of a 30"
raw water line from Lake Georgetown to our water treatment facility. Seven staff members
reviewed the proposals based on the enclosed criteria sheet. While all firms were considered
to be capable of completing the project, the staff unanimously recommends the firm of Camp,
Dresser, & McKee of Austin. Staff requests that it be allowed to pursue negotiations with CDM
for an agreement. This is the process endorsed by the State Board of Professional Engineers.
If we are unsuccessful in negotiating this agreement with CDM, we would like to approach
HDR, the teams' second choice. A copy of our request for information and the criteria sheet
are included in this packet.
