Additional Backup Information:
As a standard business practice, the City routinely engages the services of professional engineering firms to perform analysis, design, and support services associated with construction or improvement of City capital assets. Rotation List contracting allows the City to always have a group of qualified consultants available to perform a specific type of recurring work in a timely manner to meet the project and operational needs of the City.
The firms on the 2019 Large Diameter Water and Wastewater Pipeline Engineering Services Rotation List provide planning, studies, feasibility engineering, preliminary engineering, design, construction, project delivery support and other engineering services as necessary for projects that are identified as part of the Austin Water Capital Budget.
This amendment is needed as contracting authority for this existing rotation list has been depleted. There are ten active projects in design phase requiring additional contracting authority to reach completion. These services include additional services for design phase and/or construction phase on existing projects, with specific firms on this Rotation List only. Any future projects will be assigned to new Pipeline Engineering Services Rotation Lists.
Public impact will be assessed with each project assigned from this Rotation List. It is anticipated that public impact will be minimal.
