The existing gravity sanitary sewer system along Gore Street from Woods to Avondale Avenue, and at Parramore Ave. from Gore to Columbia St. is constructed with vitrified clay pipe. The existing system has reached its useful life and some segments may be currently flowing at or beyond capacity.
Woolpert, Inc. has a two (2)-year Continuing Professional Wastewater Related Engineering Services agreement with the City of Orlando which City Council authorized on December 3, 2012. The Wastewater Division needs to commission engineering services to include preliminary design, final design, permitting and construction phase services for Gore Street Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project. The Public Works Department requested a proposal from Woolpert, Inc. to perform the aforementioned professional services. The City and Woolpert, Inc. have negotiated a not-to-exceed fee proposal of $284,935.90 for this project. Staff considers this fee proposal reasonable and appropriate for the scope of work to be performed. 
Woolpert, Inc. proposes to use the services of ASG Computer & Reprographic, Inc. (MBE) to perform 0.64 % of the work, EPIC Engineering & Consulting Group, LLC. (MBE) to perform 10.33 % of the work,  and Buchheit Associates, Inc. (WBE) to perform 16.46 % of the work. The City’s Minority Business Enterprise office has reviewed the proposal and found good faith efforts substantiated and the proposed information sufficient (memo attached).

Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a Services Authorization with Woolpert, Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $284,935.90, subject to review and approval by the City Attorney's Office.
