RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Authorize the Director of Public Works and Planning, subject to the review and approval by County Counsel as to legal form and the Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector as to accounting form, to execute fifty on-call agreements for engineering, architectural and other related consultant services, each effective upon execution by the County through and including the fifth anniversary of the execution date with no optional extensions, total for all agreements not to exceed $22,200,000.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will authorize the Director of Public Works and Planning to execute on-call Agreements with 50 firms to provide various engineering, architectural and other related consultant services. The term of each Agreement is five years. The maximum total dollar amount of all Agreements is an aggregate of $22,200,000. The impacts of this item are countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If your Board does not approve the recommended action, the Department will have to prepare individualized separate Request for Proposals for each project, causing significant delays in the design process and delivery of planned public works projects. If delivery deadlines are not met, the County will be at risk of losing Federal funding for infrastructure projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The total combined maximum amount of the Agreements is $22,200,000 over the five-year term. The consultants will be compensated at agreed hourly rates for services performed as set forth in each Agreement. As these services are provided, costs will be reimbursed from appropriate sources for the various approved public works projects.
