Background:
On November 24, 2025, the City Council authorized staff to enter into a contract with Sunrise Engineering, LLC. The Taylor & Commercial Street Sewer Design Concept Project involves abandoning the aging and failing asbestos cement pipe within the project area and designing new sewer infrastructure to serve existing and future residents. The project includes approximately 3,210 linear feet of new 8-inch gravity sewer main, sixteen new sewer manholes, and connections to existing manholes at Commercial Street and Park Avenue and at S. 2nd Street and Goldroad Avenue. The original contract amount for these services was $23,500.
The original Contract scope of services included preparation of a sewer Design Concept Report (DCR) for the project area. Following completion of the DCR, the City authorized Sunrise Engineering to proceed with preparation of the amendment for the sewer design phase. As such, on September 1, 2026, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $81,200, bringing the total contract award to $104,700.
Proposed Amendment:
Amendment No. 2 includes additional survey and design services for sewer improvements identified along W. Park Street and S. 2nd Street, as well as geotechnical services needed to evaluate subsurface conditions along the proposed sewer alignments. Approval of Amendment No. 2 will increase the total professional services agreement by $17,474 bringing the total contract award to $122,174.
