Council authorizes negotiations with HDR for West Main Street waterline design
Summary
After a competitive selection and interview process, council authorized staff to begin contract negotiations with HDR Engineering (top combined score) to design and provide bidding services for the West Main Street transmission waterline project.
City staff asked the council to authorize contract negotiations with the top‑ranked firm following an RFQ/interview process for the West Main Street transmission waterline project. The project stems from the city's 2023 Level‑1 water master plan and a subsequent Level‑2 technical report; funding partners include the Wyoming Water Development Commission and state loan/grant programs.
Five firms submitted qualifications; two finalists (JUB Engineers and HDR) advanced to interviews. Staff described the scoring system (400 points for qualifications submittals, 300 points for interviews) and combined totals: HDR scored highest on combined scoring (656/700) while JUB scored 642/700. Council consented to proceed to negotiations with HDR for design coordination, specification and bidding services.
Next steps: Staff will enter contract negotiations per the professional services selection policy and return to council for contract approval once negotiations conclude.
