BRIC_Grant_and_Schedule.pdf

This is a BRIC Grant and Schedule attachment document prepared by the City of Santa Cruz Department of Public Works for a design and engineering services project involving the rehabilitation of Pump Station No. 1 and construction of a new Soquel Pump Station on the San Lorenzo River. The project encompasses six primary tasks: Additional Hydraulic Modeling, Basis of Design, 50% Design, 90% Design, 100% Design, and Project Management, with a Notice to Proceed targeted for May 1, 2026. The design phases are scheduled sequentially, with the Basis of Design due September 1, 2026, the 50% Design phase due November 1, 2026, the 90% Design phase due January 15, 2026, the 100% Design phase due March 1, 2026, and Project Management services concluding by March 26, 2027. The total allocated BRIC funding spans approximately $1,748,570.60 across all tasks, with the largest allocation of $467,000.00 designated for the 50% Design phase and $450,000.00 for the 90% Design phase.

The project is funded entirely through a FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant administered by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES). The City has acknowledged that schedule extension will likely be necessary to accommodate adequate time for service completion. The approved schedule serves as the baseline for contract performance, with liquidated damages of $1,000 per day applicable for delays beyond the scheduled completion deadline of March 2027. The contract term extends from the Notice of Award through the FEMA BRIC Phase I Design performance deadline, with potential extension subject to CalOES discretion. Proposals were due by March 13, 2026, with respondent selection and contract negotiations anticipated for March 31, 2026.
