RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute a contract (Consulting Services Agreement) with WSP USA Inc., in an amount not to exceed $450,000 for construction management services for the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project (Project), for the period March 31, 2020 through June 30, 2021, Brentwood area. County Project No.: 7562-6D8490 (District III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Project, including this Consulting Services Agreement, will be funded by 100% Drainage Area (DA) 130 funds. Approximately $194,998.00 is expected to be reimbursed by American Rivers, the Contra Costa County Flood Control District partner, through a funding agreement approved by the Board on January 21, 2020.

BACKGROUND:

The Project consists of excavating creek channel banks, stockpiling soil on adjacent parcel, installing steel soldier pile and lagging wall, installing rock slope protection, installing pedestrian bridge abutments, installing irrigation system, hardscaping, and installing or modifying appurtenances needed to widen Marsh Creek flood control channel.

WSP USA Inc. was selected to provide construction management services for the project after completing a request for proposal solicitation and technical proposal process. Public Works has successfully negotiated with WSP USA Inc. to provide the construction management services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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