<br /> $1,750,000 to prepare the engineering design, purchase materials and equipment, construct and install the
<br /> first phase of Riverside Public Utilities' electric security system upgrade project, which included funding to
<br /> hire a professional consultant service for the civil design to upgrade the physical security barrier around key
<br /> facilities.
<br /> The professional consulting firm will provide civil engineering design, procurement and construction
<br /> management services to upgrade the physical security wall and fence barriers, as well as minor property
<br /> improvements for Orangecrest, Mountain View, Hunter Substation, and RERC. The project scope is to
<br /> enhance the overall security of our facilities which not only includes upgrading the security walls and fences
<br /> but to install heavy duty vehicular gates, improve driveways to allow easier and greater access for security
<br /> and change the landscaping to low profile, water-wise plants to allow more visibility where necessary.

<br /> design and construction of security walls and fences. Staff conducted a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on
<br /> January 26, 2010, to which all the solicited engineering firms were invited to attend. Ten proposals were
