Title
Action on Resolution 21-094, a Resolution Approving a Professional Services Agreement Between the City of Brookings, SD, and RESPEC Company, LLC for the Six-Mile Creek Feasibility Project.
Body
Summary:
In June 2021, the City of Brookings was awarded a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Grant to conduct a Flood Mitigation Study of a part of Six-Mile Creek for a total project cost of $99,750. The fee proposal of $99,750 aligns with the grant award from FEMA. Of the total project cost, there is a 10% City match required which will be paid from the Storm Drainage fund.
RESPEC is well regarded for their hydraulic modeling and performed a large study of the Big Sioux River for the DANR in 2018 that modeled the flood inundation during a range of climatic events. As part of the proposed project, RESPEC is planning to utilize the services of Banner Associates as a sub-consultant for a fee of $22,430. Due to their extensive experience with this watershed, staff is requesting that the City forgo the Request for Proposal process outlined in Resolution 182-12 for professional service contracts estimated in excess of $75,000 and utilize RESPEC for this project.
