HomeMy WebLinkAbout9 Brockway Road Transmission Pipeline Award Agenda Item # REM Memorandum To: Board of Directors From: Neil Kaufman Date: August 10, 2005 Subject: Award of a Contract for Surveying Associated with the Brockway Road Transmission Pipeline 1. Why this matter is before the board: Board Authorization is required to award a contract for consulting services when the contract price exceeds $15,000. 2. History: The Brockway Road Transmission Pipeline is a proposed 24" pipeline that will connect two previously constructed 24" pipelines. The western end of the pipeline is at the intersection of Bridge Street and Indian Jack Road just north of downtown Truckee. The eastern end of the pipeline is at the intersection of Martis Drive and Ranch Way in the Ponderosa Fairway Estates subdivision. This pipeline is identified as a needed project in the District's current Water Master Plan. 3. New information: In May of 2005, Ian Fitzgerald and I reviewed the available survey information along the planned pipeline route. We identified a number of areas where either basemaps, utility information, or both, were not available. In June of 2005, 1 sent a Request for Proposals to Andregg Geomatics, Sage Land Surveying and Stantec to fill in the gaps where the necessary information was not available. All three firms were provided with copies of the information currently possessed by the District. Andregg submitted a proposal for $30,540.00. Both Sage Land Surveying and Stantec did not submit proposals and telephone call to both firms indicated that they were too busy to perform the work. In July of 2005, 1 sent additional copies of the Request for Proposal to both Lumos and Associates and Spencer Gross Inc., hoping to receive at least one additional proposal. Neither firm responded. Andregg Geomatics has performed survey work for the District is in the past and has also done a number of surveys for the Town. I believe that the price quoted by Andregg Geomatics is reasonable. The anticipated funding source for this project is Facility Fees, 4. Recommendation: Y 1) The Board of Directors accept the proposal submitted by Andregg Geomatics and award a contract for survey work associated with the Brockway Road Transmission Pipeline in an amount not to exceed $30,540.00. i 2) The Board of Directors authorize the transfer of $30,540.00 from the Water Facility Fee Account to the Water General Fund. s e G aC: ""r'f C=-s Mr.Neil Kaufman, P.E.

Box 309 Phone: 530-582-3922 Truckee, CA 96160 Fax: 530-587-5056 Re: Brockway Transmission Water Line Town of Truckee,Nevada County, CA Dear Neil; This letter is our proposal and contract to provide survey and mapping services for your Brockway Transmission Water Line project. Our proposed work plan, scope of work, fee and schedule are as follows: Work Plan: We plan to map the entire pipeline route at a vertical accuracy of plus or minus one foot. We feel this is will be the most cost-efficient method to give you the accuracy you require for design. Our experience suggests that attempting to rectify existing mapping that is controlled vertically and horizontally by different datums will not yield acceptable design level results for your project. Vertical differences in the existing mapping will require that those portions of the mapping at different elevation datums be recompiled by a photogrammetrist, which may require the use of the original digital terrain models that may not be available. Field verification surveys will also be required to ground truth the existing mapping to determine the actual accuracy. Scope of Work: Set and survey aerial targets, obtain suitable stereo aerial photography and provide conventional photogrammetric mapping for design purposes at a scale of 1"=40' with 2 foot contours. Mapping coverage will be 100' wide strip mapping along the 10,000 LF proposed pipeline route. Perform field design surveys of visible utilities and USA markings, culvert crossings and inverts located within 30 feet of each side of the pipeline route. Overlay design surveys on mapping and deliver in digital (autocad 2004)and hard copy format. Schedule: Set and control targets within ten days of notice to proceed Obtain aerial photography within the following five days, weather permitting Compile mapping within the following twenty days Page 1 of 2 We eaK- yc. r pco . on precisely. - -- _ ;661 docker Dr ve, Suite 200 Auburn, CH 95503 530 885.7072 • 800.4010.7012 • 530.885.5798 Fax t Auburn, CA < Truckee, CA - Vacav€He.
