$1,200,000.
One of Council's strategic goals is high-quality service for citizens. The Cholla
Telemetry Phase III project ensures reliable remote monitoring of all the treatment
plants' water and wastewater control systems by replacing the current telephone
telemetry with microwave radio telemetry.
Burgess & Niple, Inc., Consulting Engineers, prepared the Utilities Department's
Radio Telemetry Master Plan that outlined three phases of necessary improvements.
Phase I, completed in the summer of 2000, developed the Radio Telemetry Master
Plan and completed the installation of critical equipment at 19 sites, primarily wells and
water distribution critical equipment sites. In the summer of 2003, Phase II completed
the installation of critical equipment at 17 sites, primarily wastewater lift stations and
effluent distribution outlets.
CH2M Hill was selected to perform the design and construction administration
services for Phase III, which includes adding microwave radio communication
equipment to the Arrowhead Ranch Water Reclamation Facility, Cholla Water
Treatment Plant, Pyramid Peak Water Treatment Plant and West Area Water
Reclamation Facility and to the Emergency Operations Center.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued by the city to solicit proposals for
Construction Manager at Risk construction services. One proposal was received from
Hunter Contracting Company. They were selected to perform the construction services
based on their responsive proposal, having met all the qualifications outlined in the
RFQ.
On May 22, 2007, the Council approved a professional services agreement with
CH2M Hill to perform design and construction administration services for the Phase III
components of the radio telemetry system.
On June 25, 2002, the Council approved the transfer of funds and awarded the
construction contract to Alliance Control & Service Specialists, for the construction of
Phase II of the radio telemetry system to monitor and control various water and
wastewater facilities located throughout the city.

telemetry system that will have an automatically switched backup system maintained by
the phone company.

professional services agreement (PSA) with RBF Consulting at a total cost of $98,000
for construction administration services for intersection improvements on 43rd Avenue
between Bethany Home Road and Peoria Avenue.
This project meets the Council goal for providing high-quality services for the
citizens by improving the transportation options within the city. Improvements include
new traffic signals, raised medians, improved access control, turn lanes, and bus bays.
In November of 2001, Glendale voters approved funding for the Glendale
Onboard Program (GO) for a variety of transportation projects to enhance the quality of
life throughout the City of Glendale. In 2003, RBF was selected to design and provide
construction administration services to complete intersection improvements along 43rd
Avenue.

This amendment is necessary for the consultant to fully complete construction
administration and construction close-out services. Additional costs have occurred
because of numerous changes to the project over the past several years, including
redesign of traffic signal plans, medians, a screenwall, and driveway access; additional
coordination meetings with Salt River Project and the City of Phoenix; and a substantial
amount of additional detail on traffic signal plans, median re-design and site access
alternatives.
On April 10, 2007, the Council approved an amendment to the PSA with RBF
Consulting in the amount of $135,000.
On March 17, 2004, the Council approved an amendment to the PSA with RBF
Consulting in the amount of$34,500.
On October 28, 2003, the Council awarded a PSA with RBF Consulting in the
amount of $383,560 for the design of five intersections and bridge safety
improvements.
43rd Avenue is a major arterial street on the border of Glendale and the City of
Phoenix. The improvements will include construction of medians to provide access
control, as well as bus bays and turn lanes to improve capacity at the major
intersections.
On February 15, 2007, a public meeting was held for review of the design of
improvements for intersections along 43`d and 5151Avenues.
In November of 2001, Glendale voters approved funding for the GO projects,
which included the intersections designed by RBF Consulting.

5. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT - ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
FOR THE WEST BRANCH LIBRARY
This is a request for City Council approval of a professional services agreement
with DWL Architects & Planners for the design of a new library to be located within the
Western Regional Park site at 83rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road.
5
The new library will address the goal of a city with high-quality services for
citizens, as well as one community with strong neighborhoods.
The West Branch Library was specifically identified as a capital project in the
Fiscal Year1998-2007 ten-year capital plan. In that ten-year capital plan, the facility
was scheduled for design in Fiscal Year 2001-02, with construction planned for the last
five years, Fiscal Years 2003-2007. A few years later, as a part of the master plan for a
new regional park at 83rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road, a new branch library was
identified as an important element of the overall site plan. The park site comprises
approximately 88 acres located on the northeast corner of 83rd Avenue and Bethany
Home Road. As part of the park's master plan, a new one-story library structure,
approximately 33,500 square feet in size, was planned for seven acres within the park.
It will be compatible with the existing Gateway Public Safety building, as well as other
park amenities.
The professional services agreement with DWL Architects includes design and
construction administration services for the construction of the West Branch Library. In
June of 2007, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was advertised and sent to architectural
firms to obtain the professional architectural services to perform this work. Three firms
were invited to present to the selection committee, consisting of staff from Planning,
Parks and Recreation, Engineering, Library and an executive from a licensed
contracting company (D. L. Withers). Based on the committee's scores, DWL
Architects was selected as the best qualified firm to provide the required services.
The West Branch Library was specifically identified for the first time in the Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) as part of the Fiscal Years 1998-2007 ten-year CIP.
This project will directly benefit the citizens of Glendale, especially those in the
western area of the city who currently must drive several miles to utilize the Velma
Teague Branch. This library will provide services and programs to children, teens,
adults and seniors that are not currently accessible for many residents. It will serve a
population of approximately 50,000 in the western area of Glendale, and it is
anticipated that more than 1,000 people per day will utilize the services of this branch.
The West Branch Library will offer more than 870 programs annually.
The neighborhood has been involved in the project since the spring of 2001,
when three neighborhood meetings concerning the West Area Regional Facility Master
Plan were held.
Citizens' feedback from the meetings indicated that 60 percent of the attendees
felt that the library was a vital part of the plan, thus making it the number one amenity
mentioned for inclusion on the site. Area residents have been kept updated about the
park and its pending amenities via neighborhood and City Council meetings over the
years. There will be more opportunities for citizen participation during the initial design
phase.
6
It is estimated that O&M expenses of $700,000 will begin in April of 2010,
approximately three months prior to the opening of the library. The full fiscal year
impact of approximately $2.5 million is expected to occur in Fiscal Year 2010-11.
Funds for architectural services are budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Capital
Improvement Budget, and will be paid using Development Impact Fee funding
designated for libraries.

CONSENT RESOLUTIONS
8. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FORMING THE FIRE SERVICES
RESOURCE CONSORTIUM
This is a request for the City Council to authorize the City Manager to approve an
intergovernmental agreement with Valley fire agencies to establish the Fire Service
Resource Consortium to provide special event staffing assistance.
The participating jurisdictions are the cities of Apache Junction, Avondale,
Chandler, El Mirage, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Surprise, Tempe
and Tolleson, the towns of Buckeye and Gilbert, and the fire districts of Daisy Mountain,
Sun City, Sun City West and Sun Lakes.
The intergovernmental agreement addresses the Council's goal of one
community focused on public safety for citizens and visitors.
10
The continued growth of the West Valley and the increase of Valley-wide events
have created significant staffing challenges for public safety agencies. This partnership
will provide assistance to an agency hosting an event to request staffing should their
own resources not be sufficient to meet all the fire fighting, fire prevention, EMS and
special operations services. The participating agencies agree to provide personnel and
resources on an as-available, as-needed, basis. Through this agreement, the hosting
agency will reimburse the providing agency for any personnel or equipment provided.
The partnership with the various fire agencies will ensure that public safety staff is
available for protection of the community.
The Fire Resource Consortium is similar to the West Valley Coalition established
by the Glendale Police Department. The coalition consists of law enforcement
agencies from throughout the valley.
Through this consortium, the Glendale Fire Department and participating
agencies will be working together to ensure that citizens and visitors experience a safe
environment while attending special events.
The hosting agency will reimburse the providing agency for any personnel or
equipment. However, neither agency will incur any additional costs.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a
resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into the intergovernmental agreement
with Valley fire agencies to establish the Fire Service Resource Consortium to provide
for special event staffing assistance.

12. EL PASO NATURAL GAS EASEMENT
Mr. Larry J. Broyles, P.E., City Engineer, presented this item.
This is a request for the City Council to adopt an ordinance granting a natural
gas line easement in favor of El Paso Natural Gas (EPNG) on the north side of
Glendale Avenue, just west of Glen Harbor Boulevard.
As a result of projected development and population growth in the West Valley,
Southwest Gas requested an increase in the delivery of natural gas from its distributor
EPNG. EPNG agreed to accommodate this request and is requesting an easement
from the city for its natural gas line and expanded facility in the new location. This will
have no impact on existing city facilities.

The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt an
ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a natural gas line easement in favor
of El Paso Natural Gas on the north side of Glendale Avenue, just West of Glen Harbor
Boulevard.
