RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement ("Agreement") with Drake, Haglan and Associates, Inc., in the amount not to exceed $953,682, for professional engineering services for the Marsh Drive Bridge Replacement Project, for the period of October 10, 2017, through June 30, 2024, Concord area. County Project No. 0662-6R4119, Federal Project No. BRLS 5928(128) (District IV)

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project, including this Agreement, is funded by 88.53% Federal Highway Bridge Program Funds and 11.47% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

This project will consist of preparing plans, specifications, and estimates, including geotechnical and hydraulic studies, construction support, project management and coordination, and environmental and right of way support for the replacement of the Marsh Drive Bridge (#28C-0442) over Walnut Creek channel in the Concord area of Contra Costa County.

Professional engineering services are required for the proper and satisfactory execution of the Marsh Drive Bridge Replacement project. Drake, Haglan and Associates, Inc., was selected to provide these services after completing a Request for Qualifications solicitation and interview process that put them on a short list with four other firms to provide consulting services for future projects. The County requested and received technical proposals from three of the five short listed firms to provide consulting services for this project. Drake, Haglan and Associates Inc., was selected by a selection committee as the firm that was best able to address the County’s needs for the project.

Public Works has successfully negotiated with Drake, Haglan and Associates, Inc., to provide the professional engineering services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board of Supervisors’ approval, this Agreement will not be in effect. A delay in the design and construction of the Marsh Drive Bridge Replacement project will occur, ultimately delaying the completion of the project. Project delay may also result in substantial additional project costs and jeopardize the funding.
