SUBJECT:Title
Discussion and Action: Professional Services Agreement for the Island Treatment Plant Headworks Improvement Project with Ardurra Group, Inc. (Jason Hart)
Body
FUNDING SOURCE:
Capital Improvement Plan - Wastewater Fund
PURPOSE:
To consider awarding a Professional Services Agreement 500875 (Design) for the Island Treatment Plant (ITP) Headworks Improvement Project in accordance with City Code §§ 3.10.010.2 (Technical Registrant) and 3.10.030.1.
BACKGROUND:
The Island WWTP operates currently with a headworks building that is reaching the end of its life span. The current system is experiencing age fatigue and equipment is wearing out. The existing facility is also restricting the full utilization of the new flow equalization basin and requires upgrades as part of this replacement project.
Staff negotiated a fee of $498,826 with Ardurra Group, Inc., for Professional Services (Design), which we feel is fair and reasonable.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
This project will enhance the City’s ability to treat wastewater by constructing a new headworks building at the Island Wastewater Treatment Plant which will improve the overall efficiency of the City’s system.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Capital Improvement Plan-Wastewater funds in the amount of $498,826 are allocated and available in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.
ATTACHMENTS:
Exhibit A - Scope of Work
Exhibit B - Fee Schedule

I move to approve the Professional Services Agreement for the Island Treatment Plant Headworks Improvement Project with Ardurra Group, Inc., in the amount of $498,826.
I move to not approve the Professional Services Agreement with Ardurra Group, Inc., for the Island Treatment Plant Headworks Improvement Project.
