RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with 4LEAF, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $300,000 for on-call construction management services for the period April 14, 2015 through April 14, 2018, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this on-call consulting services agreement is funded by developer fees, local, state and federal funds for road, flood control, and airport projects.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department is involved in various projects in the County which require construction management services for road, flood control, and airport projects. After a solicitation process, this firm was selected as one of the six firms to provide construction management services on an “on-call” basis. The consultant will augment Public Works Design/Construction staff on an as-needed basis. They will be used as an extension of Public Works staff during busy times when extra help is needed or when in-house expertise is not available. This on-call consulting services agreement will be in effect for three years.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors, there will be possible delay in completing projects requiring construction management services. Executing this contract will facilitate the process of construction for various Public Works projects requiring a construction management expertise.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
