Discussion:
The 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) programs the construction of drainage improvements to the Boiling Springs Area, Storm-25-002 (see attached CIP project summary sheet). The project includes construction and replacement of storm sewer infrastructure to the area located south and west of Boiling Springs Lane and east of Stagecoach Road. This is a landlocked area where there are frequent drainage issues that impact private property resulting in the need of city assistance to help protect property and mitigate potential flooding issues. The project will implement solutions to reduce: a) the need for frequent city assistance; and b) risk of flooding outside of the right-of-way.
AE2S's proposal identifies the scope of services and estimated cost to complete the engineering and construction services. AE2S has the experience, technical skill, and capacity to provide the needed services and is an approved firm included in the city's consultant pool. The attached Professional Services Agreement authorizes and describes the scope and fees for their work on this project.
Depending on the results of the preliminary engineering, easement acquisition services may also be needed for this project and are not a part of the AE2S project scope. Professional services for the easement acquisition would be completed under a separate agreement.
