THE CITY OF 05 pLEASANTON. CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT June 17, 2014 Operation Services TITLE: AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DAVID A. REQUA FOR PROGRAM MANAGER IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES FOR THE CITY RECYCLED WATER PROJECT SUMMARY On November 5, 2013, City Council authorized staff to begin the environmental review process to further develop Pleasanton's Recycled Water Project. This environmental review is required to fulfill CEQA and NEPA compliance per state and federal regulation and will cover all aspects of treatment expansion, distribution phasing, and recycled water services that we anticipate providing in the future. The City Council has also authorized staff to apply for loans and grants in order to fund the design and construction of the required recycled water infrastructure. After evaluating options available for completing the planning and design for this work, staff has determined that additional engineering services are required to implement the Recycled Water Project and to that end, it is recommending a professional services agreement with Dave A. Requa. Due to the broad nature of the work, Mr. Requa will act as the City's "project manager" providing a broad range of engineering and planning services in concert with the City's Engineering Division. As such, he will be directed to complete assignments at the direction of the Operations Services Director. RECOMMENDATION 1.
