RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Vanir Construction Management, Inc. (Vanir), in the amount of $5,500,000, for construction management services for the East County Service Center Project for the period August 1, 2023, through April 30, 2028.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund Capital Reserves.

BACKGROUND:

The East County Service Center Project is detailed in the recently-approved Capital Facilities Master Plan, but in brief is a project to select a location and build a new and/or renovate existing County buildings to improve service delivery options in the areas of east county where fewer options for County services now exist. The County issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) for construction management services and received a total of six responses. The top three scoring firms were shortlisted and invited to an interview with staff from The County Administrator’s Office, Public Works executive staff and the Public Works Capital Projects Management Director. Vanir Construction Management was the unanimous high scoring firm based on both performance in the interview and quality of the RFQ submittal.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Works Department does not have the staff expertise to provide construction management services for a project of this scale. If the contract is not approved, the project will be delayed and most likely incur increases in the cost of construction.
