Discussion:
The city's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) was last updated in 2012 as part of the local watersheds' requirements to update the city's plan within 2 years of the watersheds' plan updates. As part of the Metropolitan Council's requirement to update the city's overall comprehensive plan in 2018, the city again needs to update its SWMP. While the higher level visioning and priorities components are included in the scope of the Envision Shakopee planning, detailed and technical updates pertaining to surface water management also must be completed.
City staff has developed a scope of work needed to fulfill the plan update requirements and worked with WSB to develop a work plan and professional services agreement to deliver this work (see attached). WSB has the institutional knowledge, the city's hydrological model, the city's storm water facility asset management system, and the technical skill to streamline the work needed for this plan update.
The City of Shakopee has a Master Agreement for Professional Services with WSB. The attached Professional Services Agreement authorizes and describes the scope and fee for their work on this project.
