AUTHORIZING THE USE OF THE WATER OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE

SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH KENNEDY/JENKS CONSULTANTS, INC. FOR
ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE POTABLE WATER AND SEWER MASTER
PLAN UPDATES
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District, or CMWD Board, of
the City of Carlsbad, California has determined that it is necessary, desirable and in the public interest
to seek engineering services for the Potable Water and Sewer Master Plan Updates; and
WHEREAS, on March 1, 2024, staff published a request for proposals for engineering services
for the Potable Water and Sewer Master Plan Updates in accordance with Carlsbad Municipal Code, or
CMC, Sections 3.28.050 and 3.28.060; and
WHEREAS, on April 10, 2024, staff received two proposals in response to the advertisement;
and
WHEREAS, after a review of the proposals based on best-value criteria consistent with CMC
Sections 3.28.050 and 3.28.060, staff selected Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, Inc., or KJ, as the most
qualified firm for the project; and
WHEREAS, the City Council authorized and directed the Mayor to execute an agreement with
KJ to provide engineering services for the Potable Water and Sewer Master Plan Updates in an amount
not to exceed $791,638; and
WHEREAS, the CMWD's pro rata share of costs for the water portion of the engineering services
for the Potable Water Master Plan Update is $367,393; and
WHEREAS, sufficient funding is available to complete the professional services for the project;
and
WHEREAS, the City Planner has determined that pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
21065, the action to award a professional services agreement for planning, engineering, or
environmental services does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of the California
Environmental Quality Act in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the
environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and therefore
does not require environmental review at this time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Carlsbad Municipal Water District Board of Directors
of the City of Carlsbad, California, as follows:
1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
2. That the CMWD's water operating budget will pay $367,393 of the total agreement
awarded to KJ for engineering services, for the water portion of the project related to
the Potable Water and Sewer Master Plan Updates.
