Title
Personal Services Agreement Amendment No. 5 with Brown and Caldwell Updating the City’s Stormwater Master Plan
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 5 of Personal Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell to perform planning and engineering services for the additional tasks needed to update the City’s Stormwater Master Plan.
BACKGROUND:
Updating the Stormwater Master Plan is one of the City’s obligations under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) Phase I Permit.

In 2016, the City retained Brown and Caldwell to perform planning and engineering services to develop a new Stormwater Master Plan. That original contract anticipated a June 30, 2017 completion date, however after a variety of delays and priority changes the document is now expected to be presented to the public and City officials for adoption in 2019. To finalize the draft documents, staff requested Brown and Caldwell (BC) to provide additional tasks needed at this time for completing a comprehensive and updated document for short and long-term planning of stormwater infrastructure systems. A summary of the contract amendment History is as follows:
