Authorize a professional services contract with Brown Reynolds Watford Architects, Inc. to provide architectural and engineering services for multiple Dallas Water Utilities’ facilities throughout the City - Not to exceed $2,956,045.00 - Financing: Water Capital Improvement F Fund ($1,302,524.00), Wastewater Construction Fund ($828,355.50), and Stormwater Drainage Management Fund ($825,165.50)
Body
BACKGROUND
This action will authorize a professional services contract for architectural and engineering services required for the renovation, relocation, and consolidation of multiple Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) facilities. DWU currently has multiple divisions located in a leased facility at 8239 Hoyle Avenue. In preparation for the lease expiring in September 2024, DWU purchased additional land adjacent to its Scottsdale facility to relocate its water pumping repairs group. This project will provide services for the design of new facilities at this location which will consolidate the water distribution and pumping programs at one location.
This action will also authorize professional services to locate and design a new facility which will consolidate Wastewater Emergency Response from a lease at Hoyle Avenue and Stormwater Neighborhood Drainage Services from a lease at Hensley Field into one location allowing DWU to reduce costs and improve efficiency. This project will also provide for miscellaneous building renovations needed at Lake Ray Hubbard, Central Wastewater Treatment Plant, Elm Fork Water Treatment Plant and Southeast Service Center.
The services provided by this contract will include project management, design of construction plans and specifications, as well as construction management of the improvements. The estimated construction cost associated with these improvements is $20,000,000. The project will allow DWU to consolidate water and wastewater functions into more efficient locations and will reduce costs through the elimination of on-going leases.
The consulting firm for this project was selected following a qualifications-based selection process in accordance with City of Dallas Administrative Directive 4-05 procurement guidelines.
