Background:
The Fairways Townhome community lies generally between NW 26 Street and NW 29 Street and between Sunrise Lakes Drive East and NW 80th Avenue. The watermain providing service to the community is asbestos concrete (AC) material installed in the early 1970’s. This community experienced numerous water service repairs throughout the years and to address these issues the Utilities Department proposed a capital project to replace the watermains within the neighborhood. The replacement of the existing AC watermain and water services will improve water quality, service flows and pressures, and improve fire protection within the community.
On August 8, 2023, the City Commission approved Project Agreement No. PA-23-026-ST with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. for professional design, permitting, and bidding services associated with the replacement of underground watermains and service lines within the Fairways of Sunrise subdivision. On February 14, 2025, Project Agreement No. PA-23-026-ST was administratively extended by the City Manager for 180 days, through September 19, 2025, due to extended review period with regulatory agencies. On August 12, 2025, the First Amendment to Project Agreement No. PA-23-026-ST was approved by the City Commission, extending the agreement through March 18, 2026, to allow Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to finalize regulatory agencies review and prepare the bidding documents.
The design plans have been completed and the project recently received approval from regulatory agencies. Currently, the project is being prepared for bid solicitation. Stantec’s services will be required to finalize the bidding process and therefore the Project Agreement term will need to be extended. The attached Second Amendment to Project Agreement 23-026-ST includes additional time through September 14, 2026, for Stantec to provide bidding assistance services. Stantec does not request any additional compensation associated with this Second Amendment.
