SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City’s Legacy Beach water intake station has been located within Legacy Park since the late 1950s.
More recently, the western portion of the building has been experiencing a subsiding foundation.
Addressing this problem was identified in the 5-year CIP of the City’s 2017 Water Master Plan. In Fall
2019, staff developed an in-situ micropile foundation stabilization that would not require demolition but
were unable to receive a responsive bid for the project. Therefore, only temporary measures we made last
Fall to assure against failure due to snow loading during the winter.
Staff and our consulting team have re-evaluated the project in its entirety. A concept report was prepared
by SPF Water Engineers (SPF) in March 2020 that provided an assessment of the cost of improving the
aged facility for the future. We now understand that full reconstruction of the failing portion combined with
an overall cosmetic facelift and securing the required conditional use permit (CUP) to entitle the facility
Legacy Park’s civic zoned property will provide the most efficient way of implementing the improvements.
To complete this project, staff will utilize architectural and engineering consultants to prepare plans and
specifications required for both the building and the surrounding park area improvements. Clear Solutions,
LLC will provide water engineering and civil design services. Attached is their proposal that includes
preparing a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) and other civil design elements required for Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) approval as well as construction, and land use application
submittals to Planning and Zoning and City Council. Clear Solutions is owned by a former principal of SPF
that was the City’s primary contact for water projects for the past 7 years. Architectural and structural design
services will be provided under a separate agreement with local architect, Legrand Bennett. City entitlement
and land use applications relating to the project will primarily be managed by Public Works staff.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Engineering Services Agreement with Clear Solutions Engineering, LLC, and authorize the
mayor to sign all necessary documents.
