Item No. 14-198
Date: June 9, 2014
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Award of Contract for Consulting Engineering
Services for Wastewater Treatment Plant to AECOM
Responsible Department: WWTP
Commentary: On March 26, 2014, the City received six (b) responses to its request for proposals
for consulting engineering services.
A selection committee reviewed all of the submissions. After the initial review, three respondents
were interviewed by the selection committee. All firms interviewed were asked the same questions
and asked to provide the same additional information (i.e. experience with USEPA Region 1 and
MDEP, CSO Long term control plans, stormwater best management practices, etc.). The City is at a
critical point and will be developing a plan to address Clean Water Act regulations that could extend
beyond 20 years. With that in mind the interview team is unanimously recommending AECOM be
hired to provide professional engineering services for the City. The recommendation is based on
AECOM's experience in our region, expertise in areas where we need assistance, long term
relationships with municipalities in Maine, competitive rates and internal controls that should enable
them to provide services efficiently and report such to the City.
On June 2, 2014, the Finance Committee approved staff recommendation to award the contract to
AECOM.
The contract award recommendation must be reviewed approved by the City Council as it is over
$100,000.
