SUMMARY
The City is implementing the Recycled Water Storage and Distribution System Project (Recycled Water Project), which would provide a locally sustainable and drought-proof supply of recycled water to customers for irrigation and industrial uses. The Recycled Water Project includes the permitting, design, and construction of irrigation system retrofits necessary to convert customers from the City’s potable drinking water system to the new recycled water system. This specialized work requires extensive knowledge and experience with recycled water regulations and customer irrigation systems. On March 20, 2017, the City and HydroScience, Inc. (HydroScience) entered into a professional services agreement (PSA) for HydroScience to provide engineering, design, and construction support services to retrofit customer sites to use recycled water. Staff is requesting Council approval to increase the contract amount with HydroScience by $118,000, to a not to exceed amount of $978,000, to provide additional recycled water support services.
