Engineering Contract.Negotiation for Services at W. C. P. Mr. Young stated that Staff requests permission to negotiate and prepare a contract for the Mayor's signature for the engineering services of Currie Engineering for the preparation of plans and specifications for the lift station expansion at the Water Quality Control Plant site. Mr. Young continued it is Staff's feeling that retaining Currie Engineering for the design of the lift station is in the best interest of the City, as the lift station was originally designed by Currie Engineering and was intended to be a phase construction. Mr. Young said with future servicing of the Grand Terrace area and the Cooley Ranch development, it is necessary for the expansion, which will include enlargement of the pumps and installing a structure over the top. Mr. Young advised under the contract with the Grand Terrace Sewer District, provision 5(b), payment and cost, the district will pay or reimburse to the City of Colton, on a pro -rata share, the cost of the lift station expansion. Mr. Young said the cost of the engineering fees will be between $10,000 and $15,000, and can be paid for out of the bond funds. On motion of Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Gonzales and passed, Council granted per- mission to Staff to negotiate and prepare contract for Mayor's signature for services at the Water Quality Control Plant.
