Subject: Amendment No. 5 to the Professional Services Agreement with NV5 Inc.
for the Recycled Water Phase III Reservoir Project
District: 3
Recommended Action
Adopt a Carlsbad Municipal Water District Board of Director’s resolution authorizing execution
of Amendment No. 5 to the professional services agreement with NV5 Inc., to extend the
agreement term and revise the labor rate schedule for the Recycled Water Phase III Reservoir
Project.
Executive Summary
The Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) is building a new recycled water storage
reservoir at the water storage facility on Black Rail Road and making related improvements at
the site.
The CMWD Board approved a professional services agreement in 2016 with NV5 Inc. for
engineering services to design the project (CMWD Board Resolution No. 1546). Staff are now
requesting the CMWD Board’s approval of Amendment No. 5 to the agreement to extend the
term for an additional year and revise the labor rate schedule effective through the completion
of engineering services during construction. The previously approved not-to-exceed contract
amount of $336,416 will remain unchanged and no additional funding is required.
The CMWD Board’s authorization is required to amend an agreement that costs more than
$100,000 per agreement year under Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.040 - Procurement
and disposition responsibilities (D)(1).
Explanation & Analysis
This project, Capital Improvement Program Project No. 5210, includes design and construction
of the new water storage tank, the D-4 reservoir at the water storage facility on southeast
corner of Poinsettia Lane and Black Rail Road, as shown on Exhibit 2. It will be the fourth
reservoir to be constructed at the D-tank site. It is also the last remaining component of the
Recycled Water Phase III Plan to expand the distribution and storage capacity of the CMWD’s
recycled water system to meet the estimated recycled water demands of the 2012 Recycled
Water Master Plan and its 2019 update.
The project is now in construction with a contract completion date of July 19, 2024.
March 26, 2024 Item #5 Page 1 of 9
During the project’s preliminary design phase in 2016, staff determined that new projections
for future recycled water demands were needed. These were generated in the 2019 Recycled
Water Master Plan, which confirmed the reservoir size and budget for the project. NV5’s
engineering design was delayed until the master plan could be completed, and an agreement
term extension was required.
•The original agreement authorized the Executive Manager to extend the term for one
additional year. The Executive Manager did so in March 2018, approving Amendment
No. 1 to the agreement, which extended the term until April 13, 2020.
•The CMWD Board then approved Amendment No. 2 to the agreement in March 2020.
This amendment included additional scope to extend the permitting effort and the term
of the agreement until April 13, 2022, to align with the extended project schedule. It
also increased the consultant’s compensation by $26,800 for additional design services
for a total not-to-exceed amount of $313,954.
•The Assistant Executive Manager executed Amendment No. 3 in December 2020
through authority based in Carlsbad Municipal Code Sections 3.28.040(C)(7)
3.28.040(C)(10). This amendment authorized additional landscape design services that
were required by the conditional use permit and coastal development permit. This
increased the contract amount by $22,462, for a total amount not to exceed $336,416.
•The CMWD Board executed Amendment No. 4 to extend the term of the agreement for
an additional two years to April 13, 2024, and to revise the labor rate schedule to
account for city review, permit approvals, contract bidding, contract award and
construction of the project.
Staff issued a notice to proceed with construction to the construction contractor on Sept. 18,
2023, for a contract duration of 210 working days. An additional one-year extension of the
professional services agreement with NV5 will provide enough time to complete the
construction phase services without additional compensation.
Fiscal Analysis
The project is funded by CIP Project No. 5210 – Recycled Water Phase III Reservoir Project.
Amendment No. 5 will not increase the total agreement amount of $336,416, which has already
been encumbered. The table below provides a summary of the available funds and estimated
costs:
The construction contract and all construction phase inspection and support services required
for project completion are fully encumbered and within the budget.
Recycled Water Phase III Reservoir Project

Total appropriation to date $7,033,000
Total expenditures and encumbrances to date -$6,665,840
Total available funding $367,160

Total estimated additional expenditures $0
Remaining balance $367,160
Additional appropriation requested $0

Next Steps
Upon the CMWD Board’s approval of Amendment No. 5, staff will continue working with NV5
to support the completion of project construction.
Environmental Evaluation
This evaluation applies to the CMWD Phase III Recycled Water Project (CDP 2018-0011/SUP
2018-0001/PUB2018-0004, State Clearing House SCH# 2012091049). On Nov. 27, 2012, the
CMWD’s Board adopted Resolution No. 1455, approving the project’s initial study/mitigated
negative declaration and mitigation monitoring and reporting program (EIA 12-02).
On July 20, 2022, the Planning Commission approved a new conditional use permit and coastal
development permit application (CUP 2020-0003/CDP 2020-0021/PUB 2019-0006) and found
that no further environmental documentation was required (Resolution No. 7457).
The execution of Amendment No. 5 is within the scope of the adopted environmental studies
and no further environmental study is required to comply with the California Environmental
Quality Act, under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
