TO: Honorable Chairperson and District Board
FROM: Beth Abramovitz, Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment No. Four (4) to Contract No. 170030 with EPS Group, Inc.,
for engineer services, commencing October 11, 2019 and terminating October 10,
2020; in an amount not to exceed $300,000.00.
FINANCIAL / BUDGET SUMMARY
RSCFD Fund - NTE $300,000.00
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to approve the Amendment No. Four (4) to Contract No. 170030.
DISCUSSION
In accordance with A.R.S. § 48-913, a qualified engineer shall be appointed or employed as District
Engineer and his compensation fixed by the Board of Directors. Claims of the District Engineer for
compensation or expenses, approved by the Board of Directors shall be reimbursed out of the funds of
the District. In accordance with Resolution No. 2014-0001, which was adopted by the Rancho Sahuarita
Community Facilities District (RSCFD) Board on April 28, 2014, the role of the District Engineer may be
accomplished by the Town Engineer or his designee. At that meeting, Legal Counsel for the RSCFD
advised the District to contract with a District Engineer as opposed to having the Town Engineer fill that
role. The District Engineer will work closely with the Town Engineer to assure processes are consistent
with those employed by the Town of Sahuarita for its municipal construction documents.
In general terms, the role of the District Engineer is to ensure projects are bid, managed, inspected,
built, and closed out in a manner that facilitates reimbursement, and that the RSCFD is reimbursing the
Developer only those costs associated with the infrastructure that are legitimate and eligible for
reimbursement. In cases where the RSCFD elects to construct the infrastructure, the District Engineer
would aide Town staff in the delivery of eligible projects.
The Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with the City of Litchfield Park allows utilization of their
Agreement with EPS Group, Inc. Services for the contract term, October 11, 2019 through October 10,

2020; not-to-exceed $300,000.00. The contract allows for an option to renew on an annual basis and in
accordance with Resolution 2004-0001, a change in the District Engineer requires thirty (30) days
written notice to the Municipality, the District, and the LLLP or the LLLC. There is no guarantee that work
will be awarded.
