WHEREAS, in November 2009, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for an evaluation of the
drinking water booster pump station and wastewater metering facilities serving the National Centers for Animal
Health(NCAH) on Dayton Avenue; and,
WHEREAS, these facilities are owned and operated by the City of Ames, and are in need of major
maintenance; and,

Agriculture; and,
WHEREAS,following a competitive review ofthe proposals received,Stanley Consultants,Inc.,was hired
to conduct the evaluation of these facilities; and,
WHEREAS,staff is now recommending that Stanley Consultants be retained to design the pump station
and wastewater metering improvements,and these improvements include design of new pumps,piping,electrical
and HVAC equipment, and other structural and architectural renovations needed to continue use of the pump
station long into the future; and,
WHEREAS, awarding a contract to Stanley Consultants will require a waiver of the City's competitive
written requirement for professional services; and,
WHEREAS, because of its in-depth familiarity with the facilities and recommended improvements,
continuing with Stanley Consultants will require less time and expense to complete the final design compared to
starting over with a new consulting firm; and,

compensation on an hourly basis; and,
WHEREAS, staff has carefully reviewed the proposal and believes that the scope and compensation are
appropriate, and that awarding a contract to Stanley Consultants is in the best interests of the facility; and,
