RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Contract Amendment No. 2 with MGE Engineering, Inc., effective December 31, 2016, to extend the term from December 31, 2016, to April 30, 2018, for on-call structural engineering services, with no increase to the original payment limit of $250,000, Countywide. (Project No. 0662-6U4134 and 0662-6U4135)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this amendment is funded by 100% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County which require structural engineering consulting services for road, flood control, and airport projects. After a solicitation process in 2012, this firm and four other firms were selected to provide structural engineering services on an “on-call” basis. On November 6, 2012, a consulting service agreement with MGE Engineering, Inc. was approved by the Board of Supervisors.

Amendment No. 1 extended the termination date from November 5, 2015 to December 31, 2016 and was approved by the Board of Supervisors on November 3, 2015.

Since the original consulting service agreement was executed, the Consultant provided on-call structural engineering services on multiple projects. While most of these projects have been completed, the Jersey Island Road Bridge Repair and Clifton Court Road Bridge Repair projects are on-going projects that require Consultant’s engineering services beyond the Agreement’s November 5, 2015, expiration. In order to allow these projects to continue without disruption, the contract is being extended solely for the completion of these two projects. The Consultant needs to complete the project plans and specifications for these projects. Construction for the Jersey Island Road Bridge Repair and the Clifton Court Road Bridge Repair is anticipated to occur next year. No increase in the contract amount is being sought.

Approval of Amendment No. 2 for this Consulting Services Agreement will allow the Consultant to continue providing structural engineering consulting services to the Jersey Island Road Bridge Repair and Clifton Court Road Bridge Repair projects through April 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the contract amendment is not approved, the Jersey Island Road Bridge Repair and Clifton Court Road Bridge Repair projects will experience delays and added costs as the County solicits for new professional services which will duplicate previous work.
