Resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to issue a Request for Proposals and award a contract for professional services for design development, preparation of construction documents, and contract management services for the Milwaukee Water Works’ Kilbourn Reservoir project.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the issuance of a Request for Proposal and execution of a contract for professional services to perform design development, preparation of construction documents, and contract management services for the Milwaukee Water Works’ project to decommission the Kilbourn Reservoir. The contract will be awarded to the proposer that best meets the needs of the Water Works as specified and determined by the Commissioner of Public Works.
Body
Whereas, Milwaukee Water Works has been working since 2000 to develop a solution to the decommissioning of Kilbourn Reservoir that meets the needs of the Water Works and is both cost-effective and acceptable to the neighborhood, elected officials, and other stakeholders; and
Whereas, A Master Plan has been developed that incorporates the decommissioning of the reservoir and landscaping of the site while maintaining its historical attributes; and
Whereas, The next phase of the project is to perform the design development based on the Master Plan, to develop the construction documentation which will be used to bid out the construction phase of the project, and to manage the construction process on behalf of the Water Works; and
Whereas, These tasks include a large artistic and creative component, and developing a precise bidding specification would be impractical; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works is hereby authorized and directed to issue a Request for Proposals for consultant services to perform design development, preparation of construction documents, and contract management services for the Milwaukee Water Works’ project to decommission the Kilbourn Reservoir and, upon selection of the consultant best meeting the needs of the Water Works, to issue a contract for the professional services; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the cost of the system be charged to WT450025300.
