To: Dave Kanner, Public Contracting Officer
From: Mike Faught
Date: 4-8-2014
Re: Emergency Procurement - Written Findings and Request for Authorization
Document the emergency:
TAP emergency construction
Due to sustained drought conditions, dramatically lower snow pack levels for the Ashland
watershed and the fact that TID plans to curtain its service in mid September of this year staff
believes that emergency procurement of construction services for TAP will allow the City to meet
its water needs by late summer or early fall of 2014.
Council recently approved an emergency procurement process for engineering services related to
the TAP line and staff will generally follow the same procedure for construction.
Document solicitation Process:
The described method will use competitive bidding. The City in concert with RH2 Engineers will
directly select between three and five bidders that meet the following criteria:
Satisfactory performance on contracts for the City of Ashland (or other City's within in Jackson
County, Oregon) on similar work.
Satisfactory history of performance working in Oregon State Highway rights-of-way.
Demonstrates adequate capacity relative to bonding, insurance, equipment, personnel and
resources to accomplish the contemplated work within the anticipated time frame.
Is pre-qualified with the City of Ashland to perform the work.
Demonstrates ability to work closely with owners and engineers to develop and implement cost
saving and/or time saving measures that benefit the public.
Demonstrates concern for and eagerness to address matters related to public safety and
convenience.
Selected bidders will be given two weeks to respond once the intent to bid is released. The City
will select the lowest responsive bidder at the end of the selection period.
Form #13 - Emergency Procurement- Written Findings and Request for Approval, Page 1 of 2, 5/27/2014
Emergency procurement will better enable the City to address the size and technical
complexity of the public improvement:
The proposed methodology will limit the bidders to those that meet the above criteria in order to
assure bidders are technically competent to perform this work
Emergency procurement will better enable the City to control the impact that market
conditions may have on cost and timing:
On time completion at a competitive cost is important to the City and will be achieved through the
described method for bidder and contractor selection. Of the bidders selected to receive
invitations to bid, each will be deemed equally qualified. The City intends to award the contract
for construction to the contractor that submits the lowest bid.
The public receives a net benefit:
The benefits of this emergency procurement that are identified herein result in a benefit to the
public because the City is adopting a competitive approach. Bidding will control costs through
competition. Preselecting a limited number oflocal bidders will help assure that the job is done
in a timely, workmanship like manner, and with a local contractor in accordance with the
provisions ofAMC 2.50.020.
The project will make appropriate use of value engineering techniques:
Through utilization of a contractor that is familiar with the local conditions and can coordinate
with the consulting engineer and City to identify materials, construction techniques,
subcontractors and equipment that assure work meets the City's quality standards, is
accomplished at the lowest cost and in a timely manner.
Emergency procurement will reduce the risks to the contracting agency:
The City has completed at least one contracting experience, free of delay or defects, with the
selected bidders on similar work within the last three years.
Amount of Emergency Contract: $ TBD

NEW AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
1. Talent Ashland Phoenix Pipeline Intertie Project update
City Administrator Dave Kanner introduced a video regarding Ashland's water supply. Mandatory
conservation would not work at this time, the reservoir was full, and there was no place to store the
water.
The snowpack was the lowest the area had ever seen. In previous drought years, the City
supplemented the water supply with Talent Irrigation District (TID) water. This year TID was
planning to shut water off in September because they did not have enough to sustain customers until
the rains returned in the fall. Ashland needed 1.5 million gallons a day (mgd) to meet basic needs
along with another 1 mgd in the streams for fish. It was possible there would not be enough water to
meet basic needs and that was the impetus in expediting the Talent Ashland Phoenix (TAP) Intertie
Project.
Public Works Director Mike Faught explained Council needed to approve the emergency
construction of the TAP pipeline, using restricted fund monies associated with the Park Estates
Pump station for the project, and grant the City Administrator contracting authority in excess of
$100,000 for project construction and the ability to sign the State Revolving Loan for $2,970,000.
Jeff Ballard, the consulting engineer from RI-12 explained his background and company's expertise.
The project was aggressive and challenging and he was confident they would meet the August
deadline. The permitting process with the Rail Road, Army Corp, Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT) and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) were underway. RI-12 had better
defined the project since March and established multiple options to ensure they met the target date
for completion. The permit process was the most complicated part and pipe installation the easiest
to accomplish. The increase in cost was due to creating the engineering estimate in a short
timeframe prior to having all the information. Costs also included a 30% contingency because RI-12
at that time was not confident they could complete the project by August.
Mr. Faught explained how the price went from $2,300,000 to $4,400,000. Increasing the flow from
1.5 mgd to 2.13 mgd was $400,000, the Pump Station was $150,000, upgrading pipe to ductile iron
cost $250,000, the standard construction index for inflation was $210,000, and additional costs to
move the project forward as an emergency project was $325,000. Engineering Services Manager
Scott Fleury added the contract contained a $600 fine per day for liquidated damages.
Mr. Ballard explained the regional booster pump station was designed to meet the capacity of
Ashland at 1.5 mgd in 2000. Because Ashland did not tie on at that time, the controls were not set
up to deliver that volume of water. They will modify the programming at the pump station to change
the operation of the four pumps located at that facility. The communication and telemetry at the
location was outdated and needed upgrading and was not included in the project due to the
aggressive timeline. TAP would utilize the Talent pump station to pump water to Ashland and would
require modifications to deliver 1.5 mgd or 2.13 mgd. The current lines were sufficient to carry 2.13
mgd. Capacity was directly proportional to velocity. Two 12-inch pipes came off the Talent pump
station, split, and eventually connected to 16-inch pipeline. Even at 3 mgd the velocity was tolerable
but not recommended, 2.13 mgd was fine. The City would have to upgrade pipe on their end for 3
mgd capacity and it would be expensive. Staff wanted options for 3 mgd for possible upgrades in
2060.
Mr. Ballard clarified RH2 had redundant management in place to serve in Mr. Ballard's place if
needed.
Kindler Stout/130 Orange Avenuerrhe public was not informed regarding project costs or present
and future rate increases to pay for the project. He thought the public might get behind the project
after a season of shortage. He had issue with the word "emergency." The use of the word was
designed to frighten the public and he equated it to extra costs. He urged Council not to advocate
control of the water system out of town.
Cate Hartzell/881 East Main/Explained she opposed the project for years. Climate change
predictions were being confinned. TAP increased dependence on sources that would experience
snow pack issues as well. The Water Master Plan talked about long-term solutions involving storage
and conservation. She had issues with borrowing against capital projects and thought the $600 fine
a day invited mistakes. Fear was motivating this response.
B.G. Hicks/190 Vista Street/Provided his background in geology, water wells, and the forest
service. The City should conduct small scale testing for wells and research trapping the water that
ran over the dam. Ashland had excellent underground reservoirs. Additionally a major geological
consulting firm should be employed to do a study on wells and ground water. He questioned
whether the town could afford two full supply systems. Connecting to TAP could endanger
Ashland's future use of ground water. Ashland had the potential for water and ground water
currently not understood.
Mr. Ballard explained RI-12 had the experience to minimize risk for projects in expedited timeframes.
Mr. Faught added a City project manager would be involved as well. If Council did not approve the
project, they would stop the project, continue with the engineering, and move it to its scheduled time
in 2015. Several projects were postponed to cover the expedited costs for the TAP pipeline and
avoid raising rates.
Staff was looking into permanent pumps and had diesel pumps secured as a back-up option. In the
unlikely event the project was not in place, staff was developing multi-department contingency plans
that included public notification, not planting new plants, and encouraging the public to do the same.
Mr. Faught clarified the City had a robust conservation plan in place but a severe drought was about
curtailment and not conservation.
Councilor Marsh/Slattery m/s to approve an emergency construction procurement of the TAP
pipeline. DISCUSSION: Councilor Marsh explained the project was about building redundancy.
The City was not obligated to purchase water. This was a way to provide multiple options for
assuring the City could provide water to the community. Councilor Slattery added this was moving a
project in the Water Master Plan up one year for sound reasons. Councilor Lemhouse agreed with
Councilor Marsh and reiterated TAP was about redundancy. Had Council moved on this six years
ago the City would not be in the position it is today. Rates might increase but to not do something
that was in the best interest of City's public safety due to rates was a difficult call. Councilor Voisin
clarified that $325,000 of project costs was actually to pay for the water. She questioned whether
the City could afford two water systems in TAP and Reeder Reservoir. Councilor Morris responded
there was only one water system with two sources of water for the system. Roll Call Vote:
Councilor Voisin, Morris, Lemhouse Slattery, Rosenthal, and Marsh, YES. Motion passed.
Councilor Slattery/Lemhouse m/s to approve re-obligating Park Estates Pump Station monies
of 2.4 million to the TAP project. Roll Call Vote: Councilor Marsh, Rosenthal, Voisin, Morris,
Slattery, and Lemhouse, YES. Motion passed.
Councilor Lemhouse/Rosenthal m/s to grant the City Administrator contracting authority in
excess of $100,000 for construction of the TAP pipeline. Roll Call Vote: Councilor Slattery,
Lemhouse, Marsh, Voisin, Morris, and Rosenthal, YES. Motion passed.
Councilor Morris/Lemhouse m/s to grant the City Administrator authority to sign a State
Revolving Fund loan agreement in the amount of $2.97 million. DISCUSSION: Councilor
Rosenthal noted the assurances provided were based on signs the project would be completed and
hoped Council would not operate this loosely going forward in other endeavors. Roll Call Vote:
Councilor Marsh, Rosenthal, Slattery, Lemhouse, Morris, and Voisin, YES. Motion passed.
