Body
SUMMARY:
At the March 28, 2017, meeting, the Board of Directors approved revising the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee's purpose to include monitoring the implementation progress of key projects in the CIP. At their June 29, 2020 meeting, the CIP Committee requested that this topic be added as a standing item on all future CIP Committee meeting agendas and that staff provide updates on consultant agreement amendments for capital projects, which may include modifications to scope, schedule, and/or budget.
There is one consultant agreement amendment for capital projects presented in this memorandum for the Committee’s information:
1. Amendment No. 2 to Agreement A4932A with Stillwater Sciences for Regulatory Permitting Services for the Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit Project No. 91864005 (Cost, Scope) (R. McCarter)
Valley Water staff will recommend Board approval of Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. A4932A with Stillwater Sciences (Consultant) for regulatory permitting services for the Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit Project (ADSRP) No. 91864005 to add to the existing scope and increase the not-to-exceed (NTE) fee by $1,251,113, for a revised total NTE fee of $4,169,706.
The ADSRP addresses dam safety concerns related to the performance of Anderson Dam. Anderson Reservoir has been operated under restriction since December 2008. Upon completion of the ADSRP, Anderson Reservoir will return to its original storage capacity.
Pursuant to Agreement No. A4932A, the Consultant is currently performing regulatory permitting services for the ADSRP. The consultant has been providing biological monitoring support, fisheries and water quality permitting and planning support, and engineering design support for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order Compliance Project (FOCP) and ADSRP. FOCP is the interim risk reduction measures ordered by FERC to maintain Anderson Reservoir at the elevation of no higher than 565 feet, begin lowering the reservoir to elevation 488 feet by October 1, 2020, construct the Anderson Dam Tunnel Project, and implement avoidance and minimization measures. ADSRP is the project that follows the implementation of FOCP that would seismic retrofit Anderson Dam.
Amendment No. 2 will allow the Consultant to continue providing support for regulatory permitting and compliance for ADSRP, including biological monitoring, fisheries and water quality permitting, as well as planning and engineering design support through December 31, 2028.
