RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement with WSP USA Inc., in an amount not to exceed $350,000 for on-call construction management services for the period July 24, 2018 through July 31, 2021, Countywide. (Project No. Various) (All Districts)  

FISCAL IMPACT:

Work performed under this on-call consulting services agreement is funded by 100% Developer Fees and Local Road, Flood Control, and Airport Enterprise Funds.











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 seven 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.  
  
Government Code Section 31000 and 4525 authorizes the County to contract for services including the type of construction management that WSP USA Inc. provides.

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.
