Agenda Item: Professional Services agreement with CRW Engineering Group, LLC, for
design services for the North Seward Water Storage Tank & Pumping

BACKGROUND &JUSTIFICATION:
On December 8, 2014, Seward City Council passed Resolution 2014-104 authorizing the City
Manager to enter into an agreement with CRW Engineering Group,LLC for professional services to
complete the North Seward Water Storage Tank & Pumping Facility, Phase II, and provide bid
support services for the project.
As the North Seward Water Storage Tank&Pumping Facility reached 85%design,it was apparent
to City staff that alterations needed to be made. Staff requested building modifications to include:
Design, specifications, and cost estimate for increasing the building size and adding restroom
facilities;adding an onsite,class A Water Well;adding a backup generator,including intake louvers,
exhaust system,controls and a fuel storage tank. By drilling the exploratory well,it will enable us to
have correct information for the production well,thus reducing the risk of change orders during that
phase of the production.
INTENT:
To increase and amend the professional services agreement with CRW Engineering Group,LLC,for
design services and an exploratory well,in an amount not to exceed$99,984.
