RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract (Consulting Services Agreement) with MNS Engineers, Inc. (MNS), in an amount not to exceed $590,000, for construction management services for the Bailey Road/SR4 Interchange Pedestrian & Bicycle Improvement Project (Project), for the period March 23, 2021 to June 30, 2022, in the Bay Point area. County Project No.: 0662-6R4121, Federal Project No.: ATPL 5928(136) (District V)

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project, including this Consulting Services Agreement, will be funded by 79.2% Active Transportation Program Funds, 20.8% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Project consists of constructing a retaining wall, widening the State Route 4 (SR4) westbound diagonal off-ramp, installation and modification of traffic signals, removal of the SR4 westbound loop off-ramp, storm drain modifications, and installation of sidewalk along Bailey Road.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

MNS was selected to provide construction management services for the Project after completing a request for proposal solicitation and technical proposal process. Construction management services for the Project include full-time inspection, quality assurance materials testing, quality assurance surveying, extensive coordination with project stakeholders including Caltrans, Contra Costa Water District, and City of Pittsburg, and in-field decision making to ensure the Project is built per plans and specifications and meets County and Caltrans Standards. Construction management services also include recording daily activity and equipment on-site and maintaining required project documentation. Public Works has successfully negotiated with MNS 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 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.
