Re: Engineering Services Agreement
Village Parkway Pump Station Improvements and
Ground Storage Reservoir No. 2
Dear Mr. Griffin:
We are enclosing two signed copies of our proposed Engineering Services Agreement for the preparation of
construction plans, specifications, bidding documents and providing limited construction administration for the
improvements to the Village Parkway Pump Station and the construction of the Six Million Gallon Village
Parkway Ground Storage Reservoir No. 2. As you directed, we have modified our scope of services to eliminate
the variable frequency drives and the mobile emergency generator. We have included design of two new single
speed pumps.
We recommend this agreement be structured into two phases, with work on each phase proceeding concurrently
as follows:
Phase I: Engineering services for preparation of plans, specifications, bidding documents and contract
documents, along with limited construction administration for the Six Million Gallon Village
Parkway Ground Storage Reservoir No. 2.
Phase II: Engineering services for preparation of construction plans, specifications, bidding documents along
with limited construction administration for:
· Adding Constant Speed Pump Nos. 4 and 5
· Electrical Service for proposed Constant Speed Pump Nos. 4 and 5
Design of connection port and transfer switches for Owner specified Mobile Emergency
Generation System
· Secondary low voltage electrical connections
· Telemetry modification to accommodate the new Pump Nos. 4 and 5
· Design of pump yard security lighting

The scope of services for each phase is more specifically defined in Exhibit "A" of the Engineering Services
Agreement.
It is our opinion that this approach to the engineering services will allow for better project management during
both the design and the construction of the improvements. Each project is significantly different in nature and
will likely involve contractors with substantially different talents. Therefore, it is our intention to prepare
separate plans, specifications, bid documents and contract documents for each phase.
Once you have reviewed the agreement, please notify us of your findings. We are available to discuss this
proposal further at your convenience.
Sincerel s,
Enclosure
