BACKGROUND:
The Union County Water Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes allocations for water transmission and elevated storage facilities. Validation of projects and/or alternatives may be required from time to time using the County’s hydraulic model. In addition to validation of planned capital projects, evaluation of service area boundaries, approach to system shut-downs, and planned maintenance activities may also be required on an as needed basis.
To support these needs, HDR Engineering has been selected to provide hydraulic modeling services to support validation of planned capital projects and system evaluations. HDR Engineering was chosen from a list of vendors previously selected from RFQ 2024-021 - Engineering Services for Water and Wastewater System Improvements to provide these services for Union County Projects.
Task order 8683-02 was originally developed and executed in the amount of $47,300 under the County Managers signature authority. The amendment to the task order in the amount of $48,400 is required to continue provision of the necessary services. Board approval is required for the amendment as the total expenditure limit exceeds $50,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the Task Order 8686-02 with HDR Engineering is $95,700. Sufficient funds are available in Capital Account Program 60184521 - Hydraulic Modeling Services.
