This ordinance authorizes the District to enter into Amendment No. 8 to Contract #10871 with Kwame Building Group Inc.
This project consists of conducting biddability/constructability reviews for the design of improvements at the Missouri River
Treatment Plant, construction management services for the improvement projects from bid through construction to final
completion and plant start-up. The work to be done during this final amendment include construction oversight of the
completion of the Digester Control Building, Power Distribution, continued MWBE workforce monitoring, and project closeout
paperwork and documentation.
FUNDING/COST SUMMARY:
Budgeted: Capital Improvement Program Budget Year: FY2015, Pg. 16 Amount: $500,000
Fund Name: #6660 – Sanitary Replacement Fund
Additional Comments: In 2008, the District negotiated the scope of construction management services with Kwame
Building Group, Inc. for the Missouri River Digester Rehabilitation and the Missouri River Secondary Expansion projects. At
that time, the pre-construction and construction phase services for the two projects were estimated to last from January of
2009 to December of 2012, or 48 months. At the time of these negotiations, the projects were still under design and final
sequencing of construction had yet to be determined. Due to sequencing of the two projects, the actual pre-construction and
construction services are anticipated to last until January of 2015, or 25 months longer than originally anticipated.
28 of 6/12/14
Additionally, in 2011 the District added MWBE Compliance and Workforce Compliance monitoring (Executive Order No.
11246) to the scope of Kwame Building Group services. It is anticipated that by the end of the project this will result in an
additional cost of approximately $60,000.00 to Kwame’s construction management services. Due to the extended contract
time and the additional scope of services described above, the District is requesting an additional appropriation of $500,000
to complete the construction management services on this contract. The final construction cost for these two projects is
estimated to be $106,300,000.00. With the additional appropriation, the final construction management services contract will
total $6,000,000.00, or 5.6% of the construction costs. For the above reasons we are requesting an additional $500,000.00
to complete the construction management services for this contract. This project is expected to be funded by Bond
proceeds.

This ordinance authorizes the District to enter into Amendment No. 2 to Contract #20085, for one year with one option year
remaining with Losli Engineering, LLC. The purpose of this project is to provide necessary planning services to augment and
assist District staff to facilitate various planning tasks and activities necessary to support the District’s Consent Decree
requirements and other ongoing program planning activities for the combined and sanitary sewer collection systems, pump
station, and wastewater treatment facilities. The primary services provided are for Preliminary Study/project definitions of
projects for use in CIRP budgeting and Watershed Consultant design scopes to implement the SSO Master Control Plan and
CSO LTCP projects, hydraulic modeling of the sanitary and combined sewer systems, and assistance in establishing Project
Controls to support and manage the Capital Program. The hydraulic modeling includes expansion, updating, and
refinements of District combined and sanitary sewer models as the SSO Master Control Plan and CSO LTCP projects are
implemented as part of Consent Decree implementation. Secondary services to be provided include an additional eighteen
(18) areas of work and will be used as needed to supplement District staff or provide technical expertise based on the project
task requirements. Resources may be adjusted as required by program needs. The planning tasks will be identified and
scoped through a negotiated letter/memorandum proposal process for contract control. This contract amendment for
$500,000 brings the total contract amount to $900,000. The planning services are anticipated to occur over a one-year
period starting in Fiscal Year 2015 with an option of one (1) additional one-year renewal.

Budgeted: Capital Improvement Program Budget Year: FY2015, Pg. 32 Amount: $500,000
30 of 6/12/14
Fund Name: #1101 – General Fund
Additional Comments: This contract is being renewed to continue to supplement the internal planning staff in supporting
the Capital Program. The appropriation for design services is equal to the proposed funding presented in the CIP Budget
Supplement. The Consent Decree requirements for constructed SSO eliminations is an aggressive program that results in a
large number of projects to be scoped and defined for implementation in the first ten (10) years. Thus, the GSA Planning
Consultant will continue to provide additional resources and expertise to internal staff to ensure projects are defined and
planned in the CIRP in a timely manner. With the FY14 funding, the consultant completed preliminary studies, modeling
support and updates, HYDRA 7 evaluation and testing, historical rainfall analysis, and other planning support. Based on the
funding available for FY15, eleven (11) individuals (2.8 FTEs) may be working on the project to support the District’s planning
staff for Consent Decree and other needs.

Additional Comments: As a government agency and the sole provider of vital public services, MSD has a responsibility to
have modern communication methods that meet the public’s needs and expectations. Since the most recent upgrade of the
website in 2009, many technologies MSD utilizes for this medium have become outdated or are no longer supported by
vendors.
Through the current contract, Falk-Harrison has been providing MSD with website redevelopment and support services. The
new/revamped website is scheduled to launch in the late June to early July 2014 timeframe. Once the new website is
launched, MSD plans to utilize external resources for hosting, maintenance, minor enhancements, and other services. MSD
does not have the internal staffing resources necessary for this work. Funds for these services are a part of the proposed
fiscal year 2015 operating budget.
As the services described above are part of the scope of work called for in the current contract with Falk Harrison, staff is
recommending the extension of the existing contract through June 30, 2015. Such an approach will allow for a well-
38 of 6/12/14
managed launch of the new website and technology adjustments that are the part of any new website launch, without the
challenge of possibly switching vendors before the new website is fully integrated into existing business processes and staff
is fully versed in the ongoing management of the new website platform.
Staff will issue an RFP for these services in fiscal year 2015 and bring a recommended vendor selection to the board that
coincides with the start of fiscal year 2016.
